Aaaaaaaaaak! I have to post this for my friend, Mitch. She came over with her sister's family from Sydney last Holy Week-end. It was also my post-birthday celebration, so the chef had made our Tour de Melbourne quite special. She and her family had driven the Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve (er, Eight?) Apostles, but she hadn't toured the CBD which, with the weather at the time, we could satiate her with.
Following the Yarra from Crown, we walked in and out of Crown casino and retail shops, then down to Southbank for more window shopping before crossing Princes Bridge to show Mitch the concrete architectural myth that is Federation Square. Along the way, we had a few snaps with Mitch, but it was also quite a revelation for us how wonderful we could capture the city at this time of day. I guess the extra lights from the past Commonwealth Games helped create the notable aesthetic aspect of it all.
My boots were killing me with the winding walk in search for dinner that the chef was leading. But Mitch, the prepared tourist, was well okay, managing to cope with it all. There was a bit of frustration fuming from moi, when it turned out that the chef had not decided early on where we were treating our guest for dinner. It came clear later that we were all involved in the search, which was generally anything but Maccas. Hahaha! Well, we eventually ended popping into the Lebanese House (sorry, I couldn't remember which street), a surprise too many for our appetite. It was an amazing experience, and best of all, it's anyone's treat. Very affordable.
Hey, Mitch, here are some blinks from my cam.
