The trip to Melbourne

Goodbyes are always sad and there is something in me that wants to get them over with as quickly as possible. We were away by about half past ten and on the road. W estoppel in mYrtleford to get some supplies and a sandwich and drove to Melbourne in a fairly uneventful way.
W e arrived at our hotel at about three forty five and decided after we had ad a beer to catch the free round the city tram. As luck would have it we did this at the very hottest point of the day and the tea we caught was not air conditioned. We were going to go around to Federation Square but as it was so hot we got off in The Docklands and found a waterside pub for another beer in what was their happy hour.
After our liquid refreshment we walked back to the tram stop and went to the Square.
We walked along the Yarra river and around the Rod Laver and Hi Sense arenas before taking in the Melbourne Cricket Ground and walking back to our hotel, all in all about three miles and probably a bit too far on a baking hot day. We a tally failed to find a bar we both liked until we were almost back at our hotel.
Melbourne seems to be a very pleasant city not as large as Sydney but not as compact as Perth.
To cap it all our big Sony camera has given up the ghost and the expedition photographer is a bit lost with only the small one to use so we need to get another camera. This will fill our minds tomorrow and the days are flying by.
