Melbourne Diary IV

Day 4: March 18, 2015: Wednesday

A delightful morning going walkabout at the zoo. Believe it or not, I got a senior citizen’s discount using my asli amchi Govt. of Maharashtra senior citizen’s id card!!!  Most of the animals were fast asleep but it was still a fascinating place – more like a wildlife park. One could roam for hours, get lost, feel adventurous, enjoy the children enjoying themselves and encounter the friendly park guides.  Or just listen to all the different languages being spoken. The ‘fish and chips’ was grand too.  The best ever.

In the evening, visited Mark and Tahlia – my cousin’s son and daughter-in-law- in their new home and then went out for dinner all together to a Pizza and Pasta place called Fire Chief possibly because it was a ‘recycled’ fire station.  Enjoyed a Rigatoni washed down by pineapple juice and topped up with the most amazing Tiramisu!

Visited a supermarket with the widest range of foodstuff imaginable – even pet food.  I could so live next door to a place like that. It was like falling asleep and waking up in food heaven.


Melbourne, I’m getting to know you!!
