The day we went to Blue Lotus Water Garden was our last day with Martin in Melbourne. The following day was New Year’s Eve. We spent New Year’s Eve in Tathra near Bega.

We arrived at Martin’s place in Essendon (Melbourne) late in the afternoon on Christmas Day. Caroline and Matthew soon drove on to Boronia to visit Mathew’s family. Two days later, which was a Saturday, C and M came back to Essendon. They came after lunch. For afternoon coffee we went to Williamstown and later on on our way back to Essendon we stopped at a beer garden at Moonee Ponds. That same Saturday, the five of us, went in the evening in our rental car also the city for some ice-cream at MESSINA’S. Matthew had found out that in Melbourne was the same ice-cream shop that we loved to go to in Sydney. It turned out that the Melbourne shop was with young people just as popular as it was in Sydney.

Earlier that day I had taken a picture of Caroline and Matthew as they arrived at Martin’s place.

I could not help myself, when I saw these Christmas decorations in a coffee shop, I had to take some pictures!

From Williamstown Matthew drove us to Monee Ponds where we stopped for some refreshing cold beer. In that beer garden they had a live band playing lovely music. It was a very nice place for a stop to have a drink.

I catch up with a bit more about Melbourne in another post.
