After all the traveling around Australia knowing that we had 10 days to enjoy Melbourne was a comforting feeling. In those 10 days we enjoyed some highlights that the city had to offer. Shopping, shopping and even some shopping. Chapel St was the perfect location to find a dress for the wedding. The cheap valet parking at the new Doncaster Mall was a nice touch. And the city itself excellent for shoes and shirts. Eating out was just as satisfying. Risotto in the lanes, crab at Claypots, and the bogan burger at the Napier. But nothing will top the kebabs at Thomastown or Greek St. London has a lot to answer for. All these sinful pleasures were topped off by even better home cooked meals at all of the Cauchi households across the city.

Nights and days not spent shopping and eating, we learnt some Spanish in the sun-filled garden having snacks and chips. We spent some evenings in Club Al La Alison and Adam's and one night with Benjimima (my love, oh my love, oh Benjimima oh my love, get your groove control) escalated into a $2 peep show on Swanston Street, this was after Absynthe cocktails and long island iced tea's served from a traditional chinese tea pots at Section 8.. but still Benjimima (my love, oh my love, oh Benjimima oh my love, get your groove control) begged us to go.

On the final weekend we attended Marcus & Shez's wedding for drunken dancing, the conga, ball punches and balloons... All in all a good time was had in Melbourne, the last place of familiarity before we headed to S&C America.
