Yes  we saw a snake at the beach this morning, a dugite we think. It scared the living daylights out of me as I was walking ahead of the girls and saw it first. Luckily it retreated into the dunes so we could pass.

After our walk and swim Pauline showed us her husband's "mustang". She really wanted to show Julie who is interested in cars and will be moving to Albany in a couple of weeks.

What a lovely evening Jo, Tash and I had at the ballet. The performance was excellent as was the orchestra, we all loved it. It was probably one of the most enjoyable male ballet performances I've ever seen.

I love this photo that Tash posted on instagram today....her last day at school!

Back to work today....the students are in the middle of exams, here they are waiting outside the stadium waiting (poor things).

Flight to Sydney

We spent the afternoon and evening with Phil, Carlo, Macario and Lucian. It was wonderful to catch up, the boys are growing up so quickly.

Two of the famous sights of Melbourne that Pete and I walked past on our walk this morning.

A stop for coffee on our walk along Acland Street.

It was a sensational day for our drive down to Portsea. Michelle gave us a tour of the area...

...little bush walk...

Portsea Beach on the bay side...

Portsea Surf Beach...

Wonderful swim...

Delicious lunch at this famous hotel.

Pete and I walked from St Kilda Beach to Ellwood Beach this morning, the water was like glass and the sky so blue.

Chris and Michelle drove us to the Shrine of Remembrance in Kings Domain...we'd never been before. The views from the balcony was stunning.

All four of us then walked the Tan track which is a 3.8 Km track around Melbourne Botanical Gardens.

Eating yummy Pidapipo ice-cream in Chapel Street after a delicious italian dinner at Baby Pizza.
