Some more early Melbourne musings...
















James here. Wednesday was spent getting to know our neighbourhood a little bit better. We found a great community centre called the Carlton Baths - should be good for swimming and gymnastics. We opened a bank account at the NAB and jet-lagged little Alex slept through the appointment - see picture. We discovered glorious Lygon Street with its Italian cafes and wonderful restaurants - see picture. Thresherman's Bakehouse served us up an amazing lunch with huge sandwiches, leek soup, and of course for me, hummus. Lot's of great ethnic food - Asian and Middle Eastern. Bought a cell phone at Vodaphone for James. Picked up a little candy at a Sugar Mountain equivalent - check Allie's smile. We walked the huge cemetery due south of our place- with a great view south to downtown. Played in the Princes Park - with its way cool climbers and swings and watched the mates practice their Aussie Rules Football. James, Alex, and Colin are standing in front of Melbourne home. Bye for now!
