MELBOURNE

Had a great day touring Melbourne on Saturday. Melbourne reminds us of NYC in some ways. It is very clean and feels very safe with several greenbelt parks and tree lined boulevardsI swear many of the 3.7M Melbournians were in the city.
We took a bus tour around the downtown core, and met two ladies from Brisbane. We went to the top of the 57 storey Rialto tower for some outstanding 360 views of the city and had lunch there.We then walked the river walk on the South bank of the Yarra before stopping back at the hotel for a rest and change of clothes (Melbourne cools when the sun goes down and the onshore winds pick up).
Back to the Rialto for the sunset and a night perspective on the city finishing with gas fire plumes erupting in front of the Crown Casino complex. Met the Brisbane ladies once more and spent dinner with them and exchanging emails.

Off to St Kilda today with Susan Thomas, Olivia and Miles.....
