Finally
the
Android is talking to the Mac
and I have
photos
this was the first photo I took in the city
and turns out to be the perfect reflection of the city for me
because Melbourne is
vibrant,
a little bit wet
and full of hidden treasures.....
it wasn't until Photoshopping this image that I realised I was that close to a Lincraft Store....
next time!
I'm going to try not to bore you with holiday snaps
of other peoples gardens
|
Dame Ednas farewell gift to Melbourne - a 13metre high bunch of Gladioli |
or stories of the abundance of creative talent at my favourite
Market
or try and explain why Neil is my favourite
stall holder
who just happened to be wearing his favourite vest
or why he acquired two new admirers on the day
and his escapades if you so wish....
|
Dan got presents too |
I'll also not tire you with endless images of the countless amazing statues in the city
cos I only took 3
and this was the best of them...
likewise I wont carry on about my SiL's two extremely intelligent & seriously gorgeous
West Highland Terriers,
whom we visited with for 2days in Port Melbourne,
only to say that madam here is the reason we want one!
and while on the subject of separating your needs from your wants
Dear Ross,
Reb wants needs one of these.....
Turns out I can't bore you with food & shopping photos
cos I was too busy eating it & buying it to take many photos of it
I will however share that
we both arrived with a suitcase each
(although Reb was canny & had a smaller one inside her big one)
and after a week our bags were at capacity
and we both sent 4 parcels home.
Neither of us were prepared for the delights of
L'uccello
where we stocked up on important
stuff
and I found the
perfect birthday present to myself.

Ayala Bar knitted Seed & Bud necklace made in Israel |
It wasn't all shopping & eating,
we managed to soak up a bit of art & culture in our travels
and made time to REconnect with significant others
We also walked weeks
caught trams
taxis
went to a Burlesque Show
spent the day with Regina & met her friends
and we op shopped
and have you noticed how Reb is bathed in light like she's wearing a halo
that's because she is an angel
the Traveling Companion Angel
Turns out I was the only one with a camera
so all shots except for this one are of others & things
Regina accidentally took this & it's my favourite
I'm leaving
but will be back to visit the city that loves itself
and makes it so easy for others to love it too....
