Again the ladies and I woke early. And again I was able to convince mum and Kathryn to run with me.
Sue happily took some “alone time” while the other 5 and I set off for the city without her today.
We caught a tourist shuttle that looped the city, pointing out its highlights and features. First stop.. the Rod Laver Tennis Center. Lynn Marie has a particular fondness for tennis, so this was a must see.
Me taking pics from the crowded bus.
Next we got off in the Italian section. Eyes wide with anticipaton… Lygon St was packed with cafes and restaurants and smelled of all things yummy. Of course we stopped for coffee and cake! Shopping? Who us? Yes, we stopped for a bit of that too.
From here we chose to walk back down to the city center. A half hour meandering through alleys of ethnic stores and sales…. Dodging Uni students with the wheelchair. Nana had no trouble keeping up, but I was feeling tired. (Mental note: sleep in !!!)
Arriving back at the house around 3pm, it was time to chill, snack, have tea and get ready to go out again. We had tickets to Mary Poppins on stage tonight.
Mary Poppins, what a hoot! A colorful, lively, singing, dancing extravaganza which left us laughing and clapping. Mary Poppins exited the stage for the last time, flying upright over the audience, umbrella up …with a wink and a smile. She was perfect.
