We were looking forward to this trip to Melbourne, mainly for a nostalgic joyride to King Island on a vintage DC3 plane. We were not counting on a very eventful trip. First there was a two hour delay leaving Sydney because of a threatening electrical storm. Then, DISAPPOINTMENT, the company that operates the flight went into receivership. Of course we could still enjoy Melbourne, and meet up with Kay's nephew Michael.
Michael brought us to the interesting Danish Hereford Beefstouw for a lovely meal of steak and ribs.

A walked a lot around Melbourne, the narrow laneways of cafes and shops and wide streets that reminded us of Vienna.

Many parts of Melbourne are very European, with its Italian and Greek restaurants and cafes, and yet few streets away there would be a concentration of Asians, a totally different feel.

DC3 can wait until the next time. Meanwhile we are enjoying Melbourne.
