So again I'm going to join a few days together. Yesterday Petar and I took a Wine tour that stopped at 4 wineries. It was an all day event. We took our first sip of wine at 10:55am and didn't stop until much later that evening. We learned the proper way to taste and smell wine and ended up coming back with three bottles. The wineries were beautiful and it was a perfect day to go.
The next day I revisited Queen Victoria Market with Petar and took a little walk around the city before deciding to stop at this pancake place for lunch. This place is amazing. You can get pancakes with ice cream, whip cream, or butter on and then pick another topping you want. They were amazing. From here we went on the Eureka skydeck and out onto the edge. The Eureka sky deck is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere and it allows you to have an amazing view of the city. I also went to "the edge". The edge is a room that is all glass that slides out of the building. When you first get in the glass is shaded so you can't see
out of it. Once the room is in place out over the city, the glass becomes clear and you are standing on a thin piece of glass. Its a rush and an intense experience. Once you look down its straight down and a little scary. Especially when you try to walk around...your brain is telling you to be careful incase the glass breaks but you know you aren't going to fall. Again you couldn't take pictures but I have a shot from a little ledge outside of the "edge".
That really concluded the day. I decided to just head home and catch up on some work I needed to finish.
So a topic I wanted to discuss is the type of food they have here. Everything they serve here would be considered gourmet at home. They take the time and effort to make everything look so appetizing...and it is but its still regular price. I wish I could take a picture of all of my food before I eat it. It looks amazing. And there are cafes everywhere. So imagine starbucks with an outside patio and much better choices and looking food to eat. I have never been a
big dessert eater but at the end of each meal everything looks soo good that you want it. Its great
Well stay tuned for the next blog. It will be on the Great Ocean Road trip....supposed to be amazing. Cheers!!
