Great Places To Visit.

Southgate Friday night. What to do for something different for date night? Ok. So maybe a train trip into the city. Get off at Flinders Street station and walk across the road to Birrarung marr. Take a leisurely walk along the Yarra and check out the Noodle Markets. We're early, so no crowds yet. Had a look about and then we decided we rather sit at one of the pub/restaurants on the river, enjoy an ale and some tapas. It's Melbourne right? We have multiple choices. So we wandered back from the Noodle Markets, left those to the rest of Melbourne and went to Pilgrams, found an indoor seat (the outdoor ones were already full) facing the gorgeous brick archway, made ourselves comfortable, and our waitress magically appeared with menus and took our drinks order while we were deciding what to eat.  Sat back in our comfy soft chairs we managed to snaffle, sipped on our icy cold Carlton Draught and watched the city, the people, and the Yarra in front of us.   Nice way to...

Saturday was a cool winter's day with some nice sunshine so we decided to head into Brunswick Street, find a park somewhere and walk, talk, look and eat. Great way to spend a pleasant afternoon. Always have my iphone with me so couldn't resist a few photos of things that caught my eye. Some graffiti is art and is beautiful.  The street itself is full of colourful people, cars, buildings.  Here is a glimpse of what we saw. We also found a delightful bakery and stopped for a treat and a cuppa.  There are heaps of food places especially Asian Cuisine, so lots of opportunities to eat. We will go back a number of times to try some of the different fares on offer.
