Wednesday, December 26 Drive to Melbourne

     Although we spent most of the day on the road driving to Melbourne, we did get to make a few stops along the way.
The coast west of Melbourne looks a lot like the Big Sur

A quick look-and-book to check out the ocean


     We got into town in the afternoon, found a place to camp, then drove into the city to meet a couple of Kristy's friends, Jake and Lorelei, at a park by the river.  We found an unused barbie, threw on some Kangabangas (roo sausages), and watched walkers and bikers and families enjoying the cool afternoon.

      Later, we strolled through the nearby Botanical Gardens, humming along with the strains of music from James Bonds movies. The park had a huge inflatable movie screen set up to show the latest Bond film, which we decided to skip, as the $18 tickets seemed a bit beyond our budgets.
C'mon people, can we please decide which way we're going

      We got back to our caravan park late, set up our tents, and tried to ignore the usual urban night noises as we went to bed.
