Friday Frolics

After a short sleep, Pam set off to meet Curtis for breakfast on Degraves Alley before he headed off to work. She then met with a high school friend (Dr. Kathleen Gray)who teaches at the Melbourne University for coffee at Queen Victoria Market to catch up with friend and family news. Meanwhile Carol hopped on the Circle Tram and discovered one of our tourmates from yesterday who was interested in geocaching.  As she was headed for Docklands, Carol went along and showed her a cache in the Docklands area before meeting up with Pam at Queen Victoria Market.

We did a bit of shopping at the Market before heading to the Abbotsford Convent for a look and lunch.  As we had a day ticket on the transport, a bus took us to the Kew interchange, where we switched to a tram to head back into the city.  A fortunate glance out the window spotted a quilt shop.  Luckily we were at a scheduled stop and hopped off the tram to have a look.  Managed to find one piece of fabric to add to the Australian stash and garner the names of 3 more shops enroute to Adelaide. We stopped off at Bridge street to look at the outlet stores and then back to the hotel as the the rain started to fall in earnest....spending the rest of the evening updating photos and the blog.  We don't know what it will be like after this week for internet service in hotels/motels so we are taking advantage of it this week.
