I Heart Melbourne

Desserts @ St Kilda

Apparently the trip over on the Spirit of Tasmania was rough. We would not know as we took 2 x travel calm each and passed out for the whole trip! I highly recommend this as a good way to travel.

Thank you again to Victor for allowing us to stay at his house while we are in Melbourne. We love the city and spending time in fantastic company!

In Melbourne we really played tourist:
    # Free tourist bus around town
    # Tram rides
    # More street art
    # Coffee shops and food
    # The Melbourne Museum where Phar Lap is housed
    # St Kilda; drinking coffee, having fish and chips and desserts.

A highlight was a hidden bar found by Frankie that is German and you have to choose if you will sit on the East or West side of the country and you are treated accordingly. The entrance was dark and you have to first find the entry in a back lane way and then ring a door bell and hope you have the correct place. Melbourne tries really hard in its dining to create atmosphere and ambiance and they succeed.

Phar Lap and I...very exciting!

 We ate at a Mexican Restaurant called Mamacitas. It is so popular that on a Tuesday we had to wait 2 hours for a table and it was worth it. It is busy and bustling but the service is excellent. It is mentioned in the 2012 SMH Good Food Guide and deserves this honor. The Mexican was modern,clever and tasty but most of all it was reasonable priced. The corn comes on a skewer and is cooked with Cumin and Parmesan Cheese and is divine. the Taco's are soft will delicate fillings. The dessert was great especially the corn ice cream and flour less chocolate cake. Thank you Frankie, Victor and Con for having dinner with us.
