Melbourne 7 - 9 Nov 2007

Meandered down to Melbourne along the back roads and visited a number of country towns. Stopped at Euroa, which was a delightful town where Heather’s relatives had lived some years ago. Roses everywhere! Peter was very happy to find Euroa was the location of a bakery he had visited a number of years ago! We purchased a scrumptious apple strudel just like the one he got last time!
Stayed out the front of Trudy and Ian’s house for 2 nights. It is good to connect with family and interact with their kids again! Trudy made a lovely diner and Katie and Carl came over for a great vegetarian meal.
Katie was just finishing off the editing of her film and was looking more relaxed while Carl is still happy in his job. Katie was looking very good after a successful diet!
Spent our last afternoon at Port Melbourne with Katie, relaxing by the water in Jimmy, with the Spirit of Tasmania in the background.
Spent a lot of time boarding the ship but eventually we were comfortably on board. We were definitely impressed with our accommodation as our expectation was much less. The fear of sea sickness was unnecessary as we slept very well and the sea was quite calm. Lucky so far!
