Melbourne put on her best "four seasons in one day" for us yesterday. Hot winds pushed the temperature up to 36C and then a cool change came through to cool things down. Last night a bit of rain and this morning a cold wind. The hot weather didn't bother us so much because the humidity was very low.
Yesterday morning Robert and I went over to the storage facility to inspect our new (old) car that has been in storage for the past three months. The battery of the car was flat so we contacted RACV for a jump start. The battery needed a full recharge so this was done overnight.
After Robert attended to some tidy ups on the car - a few screws and connections needed tightening and that sort of stuff we realised that there was nothing left to do with the car. So Robert agreed that some shopping was in order.
I managed to get a whole lap of the DFO without Robert asking if I had bought enough yet so that was pretty lucky. I got Robert out of the centre before he lost the will to live and we returned to the storage facility to check that the car's battery was charging nicely. The car turned over first time but the battery still needed more charge so we left the charger going.
Later on Robert mentioned that he had never been on a tram before so we determined to jump on a tram to go into the city for dinner and then return afterwards. Melbourne CBD was busy last night - plenty of people shopping, dining out or just catching up for a drink afterwork. This time of year is lovely in Melbourne - the city enjoys long afternoons and twilights and it doesn't get dark until 9:30pm.
We had dinner at Federation Square where there was a concert going on and masses of people enjoying the Melbourne evening. We went for a wander about the streets but I wasn't allowed to shop anymore.
We have photos of our time yesterday but our internet connection is quite ordinary at our hotel. We will try at hotspot later on today to try to load up some photos.
