Melboure Prt 2 (Wicked Neighbours!)



Still in Melbourne and still enjoying every bit of the lovely city.


So...who can name this street? No? I'm not surprised - it is Pin Oak Court! OK, for those in the know it is also seen regularly on TV as Ramsay Street. I wasn't impressed either, but am glad we went to see it. They had been filming that day as the barriers were up and a man was moving 3 cars off the "set". It's never been the same since Bouncer left!

To all of you who donated money for my birthday I have started spending it and took Gordon to see "Wicked" at The Regent Theatre. Both show and theatre were amazing and as usual I cried through most of the show (with excitement that is). Thank you everyone, we really enjoyed every minute of it.
On the last Saturday we went for a little trip around to Williamstown with Marv. Can you see the rainy sky? Who said Oz was hot, hot, hot? We then had a look at Port Melbourne where we had a beer and drove round Albert Park which shuts each year for The Melbourne Grand Prix.
Here are Chubb, G, R, Dao, Sandra, Kieth, Keean & Marv at The Oriental Spirit.
On our last day, I spent more birthday money on a fab little camera (sorry dad - it has a view finder) and joined Marv and Dao's friends for a leaving meal at a Thai restaurant. Lovely people and great food, though far too much of it. Good job I didn't actually order a main meal; I just ate everyone else's!
Monday am we packed; took the tram to Chapel Street; picked up the car (a Toyota Hybrid car - wow); and are now travelling along The Great Ocean Road to Adelaide. Will update you all soon!
