Day 2 kicked off with brunch at Di Bella in north Melbourne with an old friend, Dana, and her bf Karl, an ex-intern at Google and who joined our netball team while she was in Sydney. Dana moved back to Melbourne after her internship ended and is moving to Seattle in the near-ish future to join Google there, where I’m sure she will take the Seattle netball team to new heights of victory.
I enjoyed the breakfast at Di Bella immensely, even more so because we were introduced to Dana and Karl’s brunch technique of ordering food, then eating cake while the breakfast was being cooked. Breakfast of champions. Amazing.
Pear and chocolate danish. Divine.
Netball yay 🙂
After brunch (and an unscheduled drive to the bus depo in Footscray to pick up the wallet Alec left on the airport bus – PS Sunshine street is NOT sunny people) Alec and I walked around Melbourne and ate more food.
I’d like a purse THIS big.
I love how Melbourne has random sculptures scattered around it. Like the giant purse. Or the men waiting for a tram.
Like CityRail in Sydney, trams can take a while to arrive. This poor fellow has been waiting a looooong time.
I practice my tram-waiting face while waiting for the tram, of course.
Melbourne also has a lot of graffiti art. I enjoyed the little alleys with oh-so-cool cafes, jam-packed with trendy Melbourne-ites, and covered with bright designs.
Even the dumpsters got the art treatment.
The husband loves a good alley.
The wife loves a good Tiffany store 😉
Lindt gets arty.
Birthday tulips! Thanks husband!
More graffiti.
“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag!”
The show was fantastic. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so it surpassed any expectations I might have had. I adored Mary Poppins the movie when I was growing up, so the musical brought back lovely memories. The singing, dancing and set were all fabulous.
