We got away on the 9.10am tram which was a good effort. We did get chucked off moments after we sat down because the train 'wasn't boarding yet'. Just got to the exit doors, when the train 'was boarding now' so we were back on our seats in 15 seconds flat.
The weather was glorious, not a cloud in the sky and the train comfortable and a smooth ride.
It was just over an hour until we were at Geelong's main station - when Allan and I went in 2018. I think we must have got off the train at the wrong station (G North or G South) - this was a much shorter and pleasant wander down to the waterfront.
What a magnificent sight. There was barely a ripple on the sea and the waterfront area had been developed a lot from last time. Along with the famed Bollards, the grounds were beautiful and the ambience just lovely. There was a little train (with wheels) which we rode to the far end where there was a Ferris Wheel, a swimming pool and seawater lagoon.
Along the way, we spotted a lovely looking, but very busy restaurant and decided to make lunch our main meal of the day. I ordered barrimundi with fries and salad. Unaccustomed as I am to complaining, I pointed out that my fries were stone cold, so I was delivered a large bowl of very fresh and very tasty fries, all before Nicola's steak had been delivered. I tried a Muscato wine with my meal - a lovely drop, especially if you like a sweeter wine as I do.
A little napping may have happened on the train ride home.
All in all a fabulous day out.
