A Week ago we had a trip to Melbourne. This is the first time I have been in Melbourne CBD for nearly 50 years. It was so long ago I can’t even remember any of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t believe the number of speed cameras in Melbourne and in that fact, VictoriaI will no doubt have been booked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, The pizza in Lygon Street was the best. It was simple of course, just salami, onion and capsicum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Melbourne and food for that matter. On Sunday morning just a short 2-minute stroll from the motel was Industry Beans and a wonderful coffee shop with a simple menu of treats. More about this on my coffee blog<\/mark><\/a> soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tram trip to Lygon Street from our Little Collins Street Motel was good till Anna got caught on it and had to go another stop. We picked up G, M and R from their hotel and it was a short Uber to the Queen Victoria Markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The markets were something out of this world for me. Firstly they are huge and the meat and fish pavillionn has everything that you need. A stop in the deli section was amazing. I bought cheese and salamis and had a great time testing and tasting bits and peices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick trip back to the pickup G’s car and back to Little Collins and they were living with us for the night, but down a floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon tea was at Brunetti’s and amazing place to eat and have coffee. The sweets were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my Tiramisu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a breather and rest it was japanese for dinner. We went to Miyako and it was pretty posh to be honest. Anna, G and I went and had the tasting plates.. these were great Salads, Wagyu and other meats and seafood Shushmi and the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday was art gallery day and we made it early to the NGV and were lined up when the doors opened. I thought that there was too much asian art. Not that I hate it, it just isn’t my thing. I did get to see some Warhol’s and a Picaso, so I was stoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That pretty much summed uop our Melbourne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
