Plum Southbank Serviced Apartments Melbourne

After such a late night, had a bit of a lie in, Went for a walk up Clarendon Street into South Melbourne and got a few bits in Coles. Took a morning coffee back to the apartment. Sarah was taking things easy to revitalise so I took a walk into the city and had a look around JB. Had a leisurely day, punctuated with coffee! Took another one back to the apartment. We went into St Kilda for something to eat and a drink. Found a restaurant that served gourmet burgers. Sarah went for a chicken and...

Went to Myer to check out the Christmas window, good, but not as good as the wombats last time. Sarah had a look in her favourite shop and found nothing at all for once. Picked up a bit of shopping in Safeway and managed to forget to pick it up while having a coffee in Gloria Jean's. Looked around a few more shops including Myer to check out the sales, all open till 9pm tonight. Sarah took a shine to some chi chi makeup (self applying eye shadow, no less) but the colour she liked had sold out...

After a nice morning coffee, we made our way up to the Queen Victoris Market, primarily in the search of Ugg boots. After a good look around which took us most of the afternoon, we found a couple of possible, but not going to buy until we come back at the end of the month to save carrying them round. Bought a couple of dvd's and Sarah increased her perfume collection with some Cool Water for women. This got her a free weekend Cool Water bag. She also found loads of Chi Chi makeup with 10% dis...

Got up and took the tram to St. Kilda with it being Esplanade market day. Got quite a few things, Sarah got some more jewellery from the guy she got a bracelet from last time, some lovely canvas prints for the living room. We couldn't decide which ones we wanted so we bought three. Rob bought another print of the St Kilda sunset which we can put in the bathroom!!!! The weather was scorching today. Found a nice restaurant for some lunch. Ordered nachos, wedges and brochetta's while we watched ...

Another hot one today. Slept in until 11am. (Think our late nights have caught up with us.) Decided to have a relaxing day!!! Booked a cruise up and down the Yarra River. Opted to go past the MCG and the Botanical Gardens. Was really nice to cruise with a gentle breeze. Next we decided to visit the Rialto tower which allowed us to view Melbourne from 55th floor. The views were spectacular and we chose a really clear day to go up and view. Also found out the United had won 3 -0 in the cup and ...

Rob got up and went off the hunt for his 'lolly scramble' book which he has managed to track down. Set off to see Niki and Paul. Missed every tram we went for, but eventually we made it to Flinders Street station. Had 10 minutes before the train was due so decided to go and get a Boost Drink. Only by the time we had found the place, and then ordered and had the drinks made we had missed the train. Luckily, they were pretty frequent so we got one 15 minutes later. They had made us a fantastic ...

Landed about 10.50am, bags arrived with us which was a relief. Took Skybus to Spencer Street, nice to be back home. For once, we were the first stop on the hotel shuttle to our apartment at Plum at 285 City Road. As we were checking in, the receptionist was distracted by Bridget, a Big Brother contestant coming in. Apartment is very nice, great balcony and view over Crown next door and the city. Took a walk into the city to get some food in, in case not much is open tomorrow. Walked down Sout...
