Today we took a walk through some of Melbourne's gardens/parks. We walked from Federation Square (stopping to take a peek in St. Paul's cathedral) down the Yarra river and into Treasury Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens. We saw Cook's cottage, the mini Tudor village, the fairy tree, and Geoff had some playground time.
Next we took the trolley to the Queen Victoria Market, where we ate lunch and bought some produce.
After a rest back at the hotel, we headed out to dinner on Little Bourke street, a little Chinatown of sorts - but not CHinese - a variety of Asian restaurants - Korean, Mongolian, Chinese, Japanese... we had Japanese, with Blake and Grant sharing sushi, Gary getting Katsu, and Geoff and I sharing beef and noodles sukiyaki. Delicious!
After dinner, Gery and Geoffrey headed back for a fun filled evening of trains and CHuggington in the hotel while Grant, Blake, and I went to the theater to see "Love Never Dies," AKA Phantom #2. It was... interesting, to say the least. The sets and costumes were amazing, the music was pretty good, but the story left something to be desired. Grant described it as "Phantom of the Opera" meets "Days of Our Lives."
