Melbourne

What a ferry trip-! Captain warned us about the 50km per hr winds in Bass straight. i would have liked to have witnessed the waves...but it was too dark. And he warned us against venturing outside. The waves weren't big enough to tip us out of bed but we rocked and rolled something fierce. We slept amazingly well considering. The big jarring thumps were the difficult things to sleep thru...i wondered how they kept the cars strapped on and not smashing into each other. We all continued to rock and roll for most of the next day.

Melbourne is such fun. We rode on the trams and saw some sights. Tried not to fit too much in. Here are a few highlights...

Cook's cottage in Fitzroy gardens - J dressed up.

Graffiti, it was really everywhere, except in the seaside suburbs...

The change sheds at Brighton. With Melbourne hitting 30 degrees, we simply had to go to the beach! It was funny tho, not that many people in the water deeper than their knees. Southern ocean temperatures just really are a bit too nippy!

Got an ice cream at St Kilda and walked by Luna parkand the Palais Theatre.

The Melbourne museum was terrific. The girls didn't want to leave even after hours and hours. But we didn't take any photos there. 

Our last night we had Vietnamese at a Richmond restaurant. Just so good! Girls were sure up late that night! Lucky we r all STILL on Qld time!!!
