Another free tram ride - to St Kilda this time. Allan and I always head out there when we are in Melbourne.
The weather was still a bit gloomy and leaning towards showery so we skipped the Market and went straight for a wander along Ackroyd St.
Interestingly, the weather forecast has several times predicted '0% chance of NO rain' - seems a bit back to front to me!
I took Nicola to Allan's favourite bookstore out there. A lovely store for browsing but not many of us still buy paper books these days.
The St Kilda cake shops persist but many have changed from Greek and Continental ownership to Asian ownership. Not much change to the offering except real cream has been replaced by mock cream which is a bit disappointing.
We departed with 5 cakes between us - 1 and a half in our tummies and 3 and a half for 'later'. The leftovers were spread over 3 nights so we didn't feel too guilty.
Then we had an oops moment when we accidentally bought tickets to another show! We saw that 'The Book of Mormon' was on so we grabbed tickets. Again, an entertaining show and an excellent performance and great staging. The storyline was interesting with a bit of language and a bit of questionable content, but overall a good night out.
Might have a night in tomorrow night!
