Melbourne - Day 10

---

woke up around 08:00 not too worse for wear to brilliant sunshine.
Brian made us raisen toast and had it in bed.
09:45 answered a text to Mum who said that England has had the worst March on record with 20 feet snow drifts in places.
Got up to watch the Iron Man runners across the Collins Street bridge from the sitting room window whilst blogged.
11:00, 2 hours later the runners were still going across the bridge.
Brian was in domestic goddess mode and doing the washing (I did fold a few things, honest).
Now have a pile of ironing that'll wait till we need it!

Didn't fancy a long drive to the beach, so wandered round the river side near the apartment for a bit.
Had brunch around 12:00 of steak sandwich and chips at The Boatbuilder's Yard.
Was full so we wandered down the river side into town and then onto the Botanical gardens.
Not enough sleep caught up with us so we went back for a rest at around 16:00.

Then we had to hunt for a petrol station to fill up before the trip to Cairns the next day.
Was back for 17:00, had a sleep then packed around 21:30.
