Frying the bacon to have with our waffles for breakfast...



Southern Cross Station ....very quiet for a change...


...tram ride ...on our way into the city to catch up with Jeremy...


The view from the 38th floor of 101 Collins Street was stunning.  Jeremy, who works at Allens, gave Pete and me a tour of the firm's recent renovations. 



One of the meeting rooms...


The views were amazing...the furniture and decor were fantastic ...very minimalist but beautiful.


Coffee at Brunetti



Yes it was cold...


The brilliant colours of the flowers outside the Melbourne Hall...


Nice to see the blue sky...

Chris and Monty..


One of the streets in Newport ....what lovely trees on the verge...




I've never seen  paperbark trees so large - they're absolutely magnificent. This  photo was taken on Monmouth Street where Chris and Michelle live.


This morning Pete and I had brunch with Margaret and Steve at Ned's in Albert Park.




This is the Biltmore Building in Albert Park, a landmark structure known for its  historical significance and architectural style. It was build in 1889. The building has been converted into apartments.


A mural taken from the train....I think it is amazing.


...my favourite tall building, the Premier Tower.


At a tram stop on our way to our favourite second hand bookshop in Docklands.


Dinner this evening was at Ras Dashen, an Ethiopian restaurant in Footscray. What a treat, the food was delicious and interesting.


Frozen yoghurt from Goge at Yarraville for dessert...again, delicious.
