Melbourne = Shopping
Day 5
This morning we all went for a swim in the pool in the apartment complex which was very refreshing. Then Monique took us to Harveys for a nice relaxing lunch and then on to Chapel St for more shopping (Melbourne = Shopping!). Michelle and her boyfriend Steve met us later on for afternoon tea. Later we went for a walk along St Kilda beach and had a pub dinner.
Day 4
We'd heard that Gertrude St and Brunswick Sts were the latest 'cool/trendy'sts for shopping. There were many quirky designer women's clothing and design stores and cafes, all were very expensive. The weather turned bad with heavy rain, thunder and lightening. We took cover in a french restaurant for lunch. Halfway through our meal the rain came through the ceiling and fell onto some people's table. We went back to Monique's apartment where we are staying for the weekend. It was great to be in a 'home' again.
Later met up with Monique, Sophie and Jeff (Joseph's ex workmates from London) for drinks at a rooftop bar. We then went to dinner at a chinese restaurant in Chinatown with yummy duck and finished with drinks at a bar called Section 8. It was great catching up with old friends.
