Melbourne 1

We drove into Melbourne [a bit of a spaghetti of freeways and sliproads and roadworks], handed the van back then got a taxi to the hotel where we are staying for Danielle's conference. The taxi driver gave us the lowdown on all things Aussie Rules Football which was of some interest. The hotel was great and right in the city centre [or CBD as the Australians call it]. We had a quick whizz round the city, a south Indian vegetarian lunch, then Danielle got to work. I had a good walk around the city. It is a buzzing place, seems even better than Sydney on first acquaintance.
