We investigate Melbourne





Relief from the Heat!!! Yesterday the power went off because of a transformer so we decided to go to the beach. (two blocks) A lot of people had the same idea but we saw the most beautiful sunset. It was wonderful!! We stayed until the sun went down then walked home and the power was back on. Rob and Kim have a very nice house with a fenced in courtyard with lots of native plants and even a lemon tree. Today we went into Melbourne to the Victoria Market with thousands of vendors. We could buy anything there including meat, fish, and fresh veggies. We found a lot of souvenirs. We rode the train down there for 30 minutes. Melbourne has a wonderful transportation system. Yesterday we rode the bus system and today the train. Downtown they have Trams and monorails. We were there for 6 hours.
