Melbourne first 3 days..

Howdy Folks, we have been in Melbourne for the past 3 days and boy has it been a great visit but unfortunately only one day left. We have had the opportunity to see all the sights and sounds. Melbourne is close to a Vancouver or to a European city with its cobble stone alleys, tree lined streets and markets.
Both Johanna and I have enjoyed the tax write off as we both ventured off to the Australian Dental Exhibition. We spent the morning checking out the latest dental equipment and products available. Jo registered as my Dental Hygenist and we managed to scoop up plenty of FREE-BEES! The most important of which was 8 tubes of bleaching gel so that we can look like all those trashy people in those trashy magazines you guys all read!

Here we have the old trolly that runs through the central business district. Its nice and its free which it comes in handy when you are too tired of jumping on and off of the subway and being too cheap to pay....Me not JO.
 Fresh food market, very similar to the English market in Cork. Jo was in heaven with meat, cheese, wine, and bread!
Some of the old arcades with vintage shops and fashion....
 Melbourne has a nice mix of Old 19th century buildings with modern skyscrapers in the background. This is one of the main Tram stations.
 The Yara river that runs through the city and leads to the botanical gardens and several cafes-resturants.
A sausage and a VB (Victorian Bitter) for 10 bucks....love it!
 Beautiful, and the background is not so bad either!!!

Handsome and beautiful! Enjoying a coffee and reading. May I point out if you look carefully I am reading the London Times.....JO some trashy gossip mag....Any Questions???
