3/28 On to Melbourne


Really pleasant and uneventful trip to Melbourne.  We Ubered to the train station (since it was still sprinkling.)  Made an earlier train than planned, but that was good because then we had lots of time to  turn in our Go-cards and get my money back and have a relaxed breakfast.

We used Urber again to get to the hotel Mercure on Therry St.  We are going down hill.  This room is billed as a “studio”, so it has twin beds, a sofa, a small bathroom and a kitchen area just as you come in the door.  It also has the fabulous feature of having to have the room card in a slot in order to have light - except for a line of lights underneath the kitchen cabinets that have no way of being turned off.  I finally found the plug hidden behind the toaster in an upper cabinet and ripped that sucker out, but we slept with it on the first night.

One of Chuck's former grad students lives here.  Moshi and Mariam took us to a Greek restaurant for dinner.













Lots of Greek food:

Looks yummy! Greek is always good - and healthy - veggies and seafood. Actually, havent seen any here in NZ.
