Trip to Townsville 24th May

Up early on 23^rd and off around the river for a shower at the Port Fairy Yacht club. Who else has to go for a bracing walk of more than a kilometre for a shower in the morning? It was a beautiful morning so we counted ourselves lucky to  be alive. At 10.25 am we caught the bus to Warnnambool and then connected with the train to Melbourne. It was a leisurely trip and we enjoyed seeing the countryside for a change. Caught the taxi to Toni’s (our niece) in Saint Kilda and then decided we needed a walk for a coffee. Toni’s cats are gorgeous and kept us entertained while we were there. We had dinner at a delightful Thai restaurant up the road and then went for a walk around the streets to check out the night life. (Party animals!!)

This morning Toni took us for breakfast at the Boat House Café at Yarra Bend. It was cold but coffee and toasted sandwiches soon had us warmed up. Our walk along the river was cut short by a change in our flights, so it was back to Toni’s, order a taxi and off we went. It was great to see ‘Toni’s Melbourne’ and spend a bit of time with her. Thanks for having us Toni and showing us around. We appreciated it and it was very enjoyable.
