Eating out

Bar Roy's on Fitzroy Street is just five minutes walk from our hotel and has become our regular eating place ever since Christmas Day morning when they were open for breakfast.

It does a great range of meals, all good value, appears to be open virtually most of the day and night and has a very friendly staff so we have breakfast there each day plus a meal at night. In fact, we've now got it to a fine art where on some evenings we have a main course, walk 200 yards up the road to the local movie house and then return to Bar Roy's after the film and have dessert !

By the way, on movies, I can recommend quite highly The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (8 out of 10) but not so The Australian (3 out of 10, which would have been none out of 10 halfway through; second half just about saves it). Dave

Cheers!

An organising morning - doing the washing and packing the items we won't be needing (we hope!) for the next four weeks, before taking a suitcase over to Greg in South Yarra for him to store until we're back in Melbourne.

We spent the afternoon with Mick and Lorraine, Greg's parents, on the free circular tram route, walking in the park, checking out a couple of Sunday markets and downing a couple of beers in St Kilda.
