Great Places To Visit.

Hubby is on holidays this week, so we decided to take a train trip into the city today, and just wander.  Turned out to be a good idea. Melbourne is lovely. The many lane ways are packed full of great places to eat at as well as many assorted little shops tucked into the tiniest spaces. Very interesting. The hardest part was choosing where to eat and what to eat. There are so many choices!  Loved the beautiful floors in the Royal Arcade building, never get tired of walking through here, it's so pretty. We spent about 3hrs just wandering down lanes, across the mall and looked at Myers Christmas windows (beautiful as always) and on and into more lane ways. So many little hidden secrets withing these lanes. Do yourself a favor and take a stroll sometime.  Just make sure you are hungry, because little cafe's are everywhere!!

Celebrated a friends birthday at the NGV last weekend, with a tour of the gallery exhibits and a high tea. Fantastic idea! Our little group of girls, enjoyed musing over the Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibition which is on until the 6th Feb 2015. VERY interesting fashion to look at. Not the type of stuff you wear shopping, but still gets you thinking. For starters, how the heck does someone think of these designs. What about the poor people who have to turn the dream into a reality?! WOW! They are talented I tell you, these items are complex, delicate, loud, soft, stiff, supple, all in one piece. It has to be seen to be believed.  I'm not a fashion follower, but after this exhibition, I would go back for more! It was fascinating!!! Do yourself a  favour and drop into the NGV for a visit, or high tea, or just afternoon tea, or both. Not all exhibits cost you to go into, only some. Even so it was only $22.00 AUS.  Well worth it, we all thought. They do allow you to take photos in most ar
