Day 42: Tsunami (11/03/2011)

It's a great view of Melbourne from the 43rd floor of the AMP Tower.

Just another great thing to add to a day full of great things.

Exploring the National Gallery. Eating lunch in the sunshine. Buying a CD of street Flamenco from a pendulous Iberian Siren. Director's Box seats to watch The Rebels play The Sharks to a nail biting Rugby League final in a one point in it, end of season clincher.Fish and Chips and a beer for under $6.00. Flame grilled cocktails in a dark side street bar resembling Sweeney Todd's.

Sadly, not so good for the east coast of Japan, rocked by a massive earth quake and then washed away by 20 foot high tsunami waves. Jaws slack in the queue for late night kebabs, we watched the waves roll in, whole neighbourhoods submerged and water streaming inland.

They say Fukashima is under water and they have a nuclear power station.

Suddenly, the world seems a much smaller place.
