16 October 07 - 12:58A Night (and Day) on the Town
Kathy and I decided that there were not going to be too many opportunities in the next few months to have time without th ekids so we decided to treat ourselves to a night in Melbourne.
We stayed at the luxurious Windsor Hotel opposite the Victorian Parliament House and then spent the afternoon walking the streets of Melbourne City. We then got dressed up and went to the most famous street for restaurants in Australia - Lygon Street. As we walked down the street, many of the restaurant owners came out and tried to con us into eating at their establishments. We ended up getting free drinks, a free entree and a free desert!! Add to that the most scrumptious pasta dishes we have ever had, a bottle of Shiraz Cab and the night was off to a great start!
We then headed off to Crown Casino and the roulette table. Kathy went for her lucky 27 Red and, you guessed it, it came up - not once but TWICE!. We then changed to my favourite number and it came up twice - more drinks for us (and then a hasty exit!)
After a magnificent breakfast at the hotel consisting of a full English Breakfast (including blood pudding), Tuesday morning was spent on a guided tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground - a truly amazing experience. A truly great night and day in Melbourne.
Ah well, now it's back to the kids EDEN!!!!!!!! CALEB!!!!!!! Stop picking your noses!!!!
