After a pretty good sleep, our body clocks were reasonably aligned with the rest of Melbourne so we were off to the Queen Victoria Market. Did a quick scoot around, succumbing only to new phone covers for both of us, but if we are being honest, we were there for the hot donuts, and they didn't disappoint. We queued with fireys and policemen who obviously enjoy the treat too. For the whole time we were there, there would have been around 30 people in the queue.
We had awoken to what we thought was a pea soup of fog. Nothing at all was visible - no buildings or lights, just a white wall of nothingness. Some hours later, we realised that it wasn't fog - we were just living in the low clouds because we were so high up (floor 54 of 65).
We wandered down Bourke St looking for lunch - the area has lost some of its large format stores, but still had a nice vibe.
We found a pizza/pasta place which we enjoyed. Figured we could have a light dinner before the show that Nicola had booked from NZ.
The show was 'Waitress', which had apparently been a huge hit on Broadway and the Westend, but I had never heard of it.
Both of us loved it - a heart warming story, lots of humour and a great cast. We came out buzzing and I would definitely see it again in a heartbeat.
Our accommodation is at the bottom end of Collins St so it is a straight hoon down the hill from the top end. My goodness, the crowds that squashed in to that tram - talk about mashed potatoes! In fact, nearly every tram we have taken so far (and there have been plenty) has been like a sardine can, mostly (we think) due to the free rides, No complaints about that!
