Week 16- Australia (Melbourne) Day 4
Today we got up, had showers and made a packed lunch ready for our day. We got the tram to Flinders street then jumped on the free one thinking we were going to the Eureka Skydeck. Well let's just say we ended up going in a big circle and walking for miles! It was only when we were nearly there we realised we were just being Flinders Street a good hour later! Oh well it was good exercise and we might have fallen into H&M. Gemma managed to get a pair of boots and a few jumpers and I got a big knitted jumper and tights.. All in the sale!! Australia is a lot colder than we anticipated!
We decided to have our lunch sat on a bench by the river, however, half way through the birds started to join us and Gemma was the least impressed so we hurried along to the Eureka Skydeck just around the corner! The Skydeck was very impressive and pretty much left us speechless when we first got up! It has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the whole of Melbourne, both the city and the coastline! We spent ages wondering around, taking photos and working out what area was what! There was even a bit where you could go outside.. It was very windy and you could feel the building moving slightly!
We found our favourite spot and sat for ages watching the sunset across the city, it was beautiful! We also had a yummy tea and cake while we were up there! It was amazing to see the view in both daylight and at night. Afterwards we wondered back up to the train station, popping into Coles on the way back then headed back to Max and Brian's house! Brian made us his famous chilli com carne tonight and it was delicious! Made me feel like I was back at home eating chilli on the sofa!
