Goodbye Melbourne

Well as promised the last few pics, to show you lot at home a taste of Melbourne life!!

More pictures of Melbourne.

See I just couldnt get enough, and there are still many not placed on the blog.

Well this is my last night in the State of Victoria in around 9 and half hours I will be seated on a bus heading to the airport.. It has been a great experience to which I have to thank Paul, Emma Shannon and the immovable bump. They opened there home and lives for me to experience a different way of life, and I have loved every moment of it.... xxx Thank you.

Melbourne Pt 2

Good morning England !!! haha I sound like Robin Williams, and it's actually afternoon here, we've had a quiet day been out for a snack lunch and to a Big W for Emma to get some baking dishes, poor old Paul, he's going to suffer her pastry now :) Oh btw RM if you are reading this Mummykins has sent a package as I cant fit it in mysuitcase, keep Liam and Daisys at our house till I get back ok.

Anyway back to yesterdays trip to Melbourne

After Cooks Cottage I grabbed an icecream and walked through Fitzroy Park and into Treasury Gardens, nice open space surrounded by offices etc, many office people were just sat outside and working from there, seemed a relaxed thing to do.

Then I took my life in my hands and crossed over the road and tramway and decided to walk a few streets, however its so big I decided I didn't have the time left to get lost and hopped on a tram and criss crossed till I got back to Flinders St , which is where the train station is that I started from, i then asked this friendly bloke the way to the Shrine of Rememberence, explaning I didnt know which direction I needed to head to as I had my north, south east west bearings gone!

Anyway he turned me 45 degrees around and said trams that direction all go past the shrine. With that I went red and hurried myself of in that direction, and sure enough I found it. This was the last place on my itinerary !! phew.... after that my time was free...to do whatever, but my legs and back were aching.

I enjoyed the Shrine but it was quite sombre, and a very peaceful place. It just brought back memories of Grampy.... who like the Anzacs served in Galipoli in WW1

Anyway you can stantd at the top of that Shrine and take photo's, and although I didn't take any inside the Shrine I used that opportunity to grab some good shots.

Right thats it for now will add the last pics of Melbourne tonight before bedtime... time to get ready we are having a goodbye meal out tonight.
