The conference ended on Tuesday (cup day) at noon, and we had time to fill in before flying home in the evening, so we took the tram to Glenelg. <br />On the way back it stopped at a racetrack (can't remember the name) and a lot of very drunk race goers got on. A pneumatic looking woman in her early forties sat down, and proceeded without warning, to vomit all over me. <br />I had to access my luggage and have a shower and a complete change of clothes before getting on the plane - not easy as we'd checked out of our rooms and our gear was stacked up ready to go to the airport. <br />Two things annoyed me more than somewhat.

Secondly, I hadn't time to put a bet on and the horse I would have backed won on fairly long odds.<br />Not a good Melbourne Cup day....1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.com
