Melbourne on 5 Drinks a Day

All is still well here in Melbourne. My Aunt Vicki and Uncle John arrived by train this morning. Mom, Dad and I had some brunch while they settled in to the hotel. Then we all headed up to the largest open air market in the southern hemisphere, the Queen Victoria Market. Many T-shirts were purchased.

From there, we took the tram down to the Shrine of Remembrance and the Royal Botanical Garden. We saw the Black Swans, Bell Birds and lots of different plants and trees. After that we had a beer on the way back to the hotel.

Now I am doing some laundry for Vicki and John and we'll sync back up for dinner on a tram car ride around the city. Eating, drinking, motion and Barb: This could be a recipe for disaster!

Dinner last night at the Jazz club went well. We ate, drank and listened to the 18 piece band play lots of Sinatra. Mom and Dad seem to be having a good time.

Tomorrow morning we'll get on the road, the Great Ocean Road. And be back late on Friday. Wish us well.
