We're here !!


Wow!  We are so tired!  What a LONG day(s). We basically missed Sunday as we left on Saturday afternoon and arrived in Melbourne at 10:30 am MONDAY!  Everyone's advise was to stay up until the evening, so we showered and hit the town.  We found this really cool British Pub that was packed for a Monday afternoon.  We figured we'll be eating alot of Australian foods through out tour so what the heck, it looked good and fun.  It was on a street corner in the hustle and bustle section of Melborne.   We had a great table that was open to the outside and right next to the side walk.  Sheppard's Pie and Fish and Chips did the trick trick to give us our second wind to get through this very long day.  People watching was awesome.

We ventured into the retail section of the city.  It was packed!   There were these really cool little streets between the main streets that had coffee shops, bakeries, wine shops, etc.  We then ended up at Melborne City Square.  It was really cool.  We found this neat wine shop that had seats outside.  We split a bottle of great Australian Chardonnay watching people pass by. 

Well, it's time to try to get to sleep, FINALLY.  Looking forward to starting our tour tomorrow.
