Easter Sat.  What to do on a long weekend when in Melbourne? Go to the Victoria markets of course. We managed to negotiate the public transport system in Melb and found our way from Ringwood station into the city and Central station. From there it wasn't so easy as the GPS didn't want to know about Markets or their where abouts. So we had to ask and found we were going in the wrong direction,not far luckily. Anyhow we found them and spent a pleasant 2 hours roaming around checking out all the stalls and having a nice home made Pizza for lunch.

The markets if you haven't been there are right in the middle of town and are in what looks like an old cattle sale yard under cover.

All sorts of gear for sale here. If you want leather stuff,baby clothes, cheap watches etc its all here. Reminded me of the night markets in Hong Kong. Manned by the same sort of people as well.
We managed to find our way home again so that was a bit of a miracle as well

10th April
The boys wanted to have a night in the Caravan with Nana and Grandad before we left to go home so on Monday night we set up the bed for them and we had a party. A few games of cards first which the oldies lost most of, especially the ones requiring a good memory!

A couple of card sharps about to fleece their Grandparents. After chips and soft drink it was off to bed on the modified table that Grandad had arranged for just such an occasion. The table was lowered down to the level of the cushions using a short tube and a couple of supports put underneath. Using the cushions from the back it made a comfy double bed. I think it was comfy but then  I didn't have to sleep on it!!

Well tomorrow we bid farewell to Melbourne and head North to warmer parts (we hope) and plan to be in Sydney on Sunday 15th to meet up with Grant who flies in for the day.
Till next time,some where by the side of the road probably.
Cheers Helen and David
