It's cup day in Melbourne tomorrow and at this stage we don't have anything planned and DS has been asking me to take him into the city to skateboard. If all goes to plan I might have a scout around, if not tomorrow then definitely on the weekend.

[Bedlam]

Yes I too am pleased you opted out Chookie, we need you both with us.
This year has disappeared it will be Fest time again too quickly.

I think that photo is priceless Uni, love Rals expression. Must have been a great photographer!

[mab19]

I am interested in coming, is there room for one more

Can't help out with any ideas for sightseeing or accommodation.  It is some time since I have been to Melbourne.

Have added you to the list Margaret.  Never too many, we start off with a long list and it usually reduces before the time comes.

I'm happy to stay anywhere ladies, if Wonder is prepared to look and choose then that is fine by me.  Seeing what's on offer in the flesh is a necessity unless it's a 5 star hotel, we know they are good but if we can find a place cheaper which fits the bill then why not?  Wonder can you ask how the booking works, in Hobart we didn't have to pay anything until we left and could cancel right up until the last minute without any penalty too.

My cruise dates are 9th to 17th if we drive up to Sydney , allowing two days to get home , if it is after the 20th count me in PLEASE.

At this stage it's from 23rd October so I've added you to the list AB.

[Aussie Brenda]

Thanks Judy I can't wait to meet you all in person. 

[Kimmyh]

Uni, Gert,  you can't have Ral!!  He is a keeper.    Love the photo.

But can't you share him. I'd like a little piece too 😘
Glad you decided not to do it chookie. It would have been lovely but way to much work for you. Much better to kick back with us and enjoy the festivities.

Chookie I am another one who is pleased you and Ral will be with us in Melbourne.

[judydawn]

Me too but you know that already 

[Wonder]

Chookie, I'm another one that is glad you have decided against hosting a lunch. I had a great day last time and you and Ral were fantastic hosts but you should be able to take advantage of all the amazing things Melbourne has to offer and relax with everyone for a few days.

Another option that others might be interested in is the bread making classes at Abbotsford convent, I've been looking at doing one for ages and have heard good reports. There is also a fantastic farmers market there some weekends and is a beautiful spot in Melbourne to visit.
