Exploring Melbourne

The last couple days we’ve been touring around Melbourne and checking out the scenery.  After getting a number of local meats and cheeses at the market we had a nice meal on the riverbank where we had a pretty awesome view of the Melbourne skyline.

Following the tip of a fellow SJP class of 2008 alumnus, we had a good time at a club in chinatown where we danced to some legit techno.

Today we went to St. Kilda where we checked out the beach.  It was very windy and somewhat cold (especially for someone who forgot their jacket), but I did get to put my feet in the water (nowhere near as cold as Beverly in the springtime).  I also found a jellyfish…it was somewhat large.

We had a good meal of fish and chips from a local shop and also got various cakes/pastries which we ate while on the beach.

Now we’re playing the waiting game as our solar car and van pass through customs.  It’s only a few short days before we begin the long drive to Darwin.
