Today was the coldest day we have experienced so far! The maximum was 4C! We were rugged up all day so stayed reasonably warm most of the day except when we got hot in the shops and buildings!
Our day started with breakfast in the hotel dining room. Then we headed over the bridge to the main part of Victoria's shopping area. The first stop was to look for rain pants for me - which we found in the second shop we went to. Then we wandered along Government Road and ended up at a small coffee shop for a warm drink and a snack - only the cookies the girls had were the size of side plates!
Then we headed out to the shops again looking for a new tripod for my camera - I brought Keith's Gorillapod with me but it isn't suitable for the pics I want to take. We had success at the first shop we went to, thankfully.
It was raining when we woke this morning and continued most of the day! The hotel supplied umbrellas were very useful today! Along with our waterproof gear, the umbrellas kept us dry.
This afternoon, after a light lunch at Starbucks (we seem to have been there regularly), we enjoyed a horse drawn cart ride around part of the city. We all felt a bit sorry for the horses.
All rugged up ready for our horse drawn cart ride.
Sergeant is ready to take us on the tour.
Ali all rugged up
Ashleigh all rugged up
After the horse drawn cart ride, where we saw several black squirrels (but not close enough to get photos), lots of ducks, peacocks and some of the oldest houses in Victoria, we headed back to the hotel to warm up, pack our cases and relax before dinner in the hotel restaurant. It was another really enjoyable meal!
Last time we were here, we took some "ghost" photos, so we decided to do it again this time. It was very cold outside, so we had to be quick!
Till next time, take care.
