Grand Mercure Docklands Melbourne

... of time relaxing. It also seems to be the Sunday afternoon date location, with loads of couples walking or canoodling on the grass! After being attacked by mozzies and an over exuberant bird, that kept trying to drop fir cones on me, I headed back across the river for a closer look at the MCG, or the G (as its known by the locals!). the MCG is part of the sporting zone, along with other venues such as the Rod Laver Centre (where the Australian Tennis Open is held ...

... have been causing me grief for years – I am tired of explaining to helpful waiters that despite what they may have been told, salmon is not vegetarian – usually resisting the urge to ask what sort of tree he thought that the fish grew on. Come on people clue is in the name *vege*tarian – i.e. vegetables. Don’t get me wrong I have no issue with people who eschew just red meat or just eat fish or fowl or hunt and kill the ...

... next to our table so we were in and out of it every five minutes. When I opened my bag this morning I found stacks and stacks of photos which gave me a right laugh - I'm going to see if I can order them online so I can put them up on here. There was a box of dress up gear in the booth as well, feather boas, bunny ears, sailor's caps etc - much fun was had with that!

This week I also had the cheap thrill of watching my car odometer click over from 299 999 to 300 000. In other news on the dying car, I have lost a hub cap somewhere between Nyngan and Melbourne, and the windscreen is cracked. I said it was only a matter of time before something else broke...

Well we fly out in the morning so I guess it would be a good idea to pack something rather than stuffing about with travelpod and facebook. Elizabeth and I look forward to the Juice Plus conference each year.

... riverfront, brunswick. I went with them to St Kilder for the day and Mum finally got to get into the Sea - it was lovely and warm, then we went off to Newquay docklands and had a nice Italian dinner. I then had to say goodbye to Mum and Davo as they had to leave to go home after their 3 week holliday. Now, I have a couple of hours to do this log and meet Stu for my flight to KL. Its going to be great!

... this time in Sapa (also Vietnam), us riding a scooter through the local market and them walking there as well. That was creepy! We had a chat with them discussing what our plans were, they were flying to Sydney, us to Perth, joking around that maybe we'll see each other in Australia. We couldn't believe our eyes when we were walking along the Flinders Street Station in Melbourne and bumped into them yet again, how strange!!! We all were so ...
