Wednesday night Mel and I went out to dinner downtown. Mel met he after work and we headed over to Lygon street. One of the restaurant districts in the downtown area.
The street is fairly major, two lanes going each direction in some places. What makes it special is that the sidewalks are super wide. So all the cafes have tables and awnings set up outside and you walk between the outdoor setups and the cafes. It has a very cozy feel. We ended up eating at a restaurant just off of Lygon called Chin chin's. The menu covered most of the asian styles and was a bit upscale cost wise. The food was pretty good, some worth the price, some not so much. We had some dim sum for appetizers, Mel had a Thai Green Curry dish with Shrimp and I had a Spicy Chicken stir fry. All in all it was pretty good.
Walking back we came across an Italian Pizza place what was packed so we will have to try that one next time. They had a ferrari theme going complete with a recentish Formula 1 car hanging from the ceiling.
Other than that we(mostly Mel) are trying to plan our July vacation. We are going to take two and a half weeks and fly to Brisbane and then drive up the coast to Cairns. I'll post a planned itenerary once we have it finalized. Should be a good trip ! Hopefully we can scout out some exceptional places to take the Grand Parents when they come for visits.
On a side note we thought hard about renting a Campervan (Motorhome in canada ) and living in that for the 2 weeks. However, the cost was not that much cheaper than hotels with a rental car and with it getter dark early we figured it might be tough to kill the time in the evenings. I'm still eager to give that a shot so maybe we can try it for a different trip.
That's all for now.
Jeff.
p.s. Mel has said that she will start posting her daily activities as soon as she finishes with planning out trip.
p.p.s I'll also get some more pictures up this weekend.
