Shopping In Melbourne

Firstly, we wanted to try the boutique shopping in Degraves Street before heading to the mainstream shops. A gratifying adventure, we found lots of lovely little things as well as enjoying the colourful surroundings.

  

Caitie's big score - sparkly boots!

Lygon Street

A hard day of culture and shopping requires refueling on fresh pasta, pizza and a Carafe of Chianti at an authentic Italian restaurant followed by a gelato.

Also compulsory is a visit to The Original Lolly Store. Here Caitie found her Grape Fanta and Hersheys bars as well as loads of other delectable treats.

A few stores were still open so we managed a little more shopping before heading back to our rooms, snuggling into our comfies and sipping a little more champagne before bed.

St Kilda
Another cool Melbourne spot, we found markets by the beach, a street full of cakes and pastries, siphoned coffee and the best Chai Latte ever! The girls found the 100 year old Luna Park, where they bravely rode the rickety old roller coaster.

Chai to die for!

And that was our lovely girl weekend in Melbourne!

Things To Do In Sydney - Luna Park Fun

A terrific location, my kids really enjoy this day out. A few rides and sideshow attractions entertain them whilst I get to take photo's of Sydney Harbour! Today we are here with the Lane Cove Swim Club with whom the kids swim.

Caitie and Pat having way too much fun!

Whilst the kids had fun, I had a little fun of my own. You can view the images on my photo blog...
