went on the customary bus tour this morning to get my bearings. unfortunately
the weather isn’t great, there are quite a lot of rain showers. so after seeing
the city i went to pick up the car so that i could go and have a closer look.
so after a wander around the mcg (melbourne cricket ground) which is being
rebuilt at the moment, i headed over to albert park where the grand prix track
is being prepared. i was expecting to have to peer through fences to see
anything but you can actually drive round part of the circuit (hence the
pictures of fosters and mobil advertising. it gives you a great sense of what
it must be like driving fast round these corners, some of which are marked up
for us mere mortals as 20kmph max.
i carried on past albert park and out to the bay for some lunch at a small fish
restaurant in sandringham of all places. very pleasant watching the weather
roll in off the sea.
Thought you didn’t do fish restaurants! Would have been nice to put my car round that track…. Lots of people following your sight – Uncle Kev enjoying it very much. Confirm that I will see you at Term 4, Heathrow next Thurday at 5.30am – it was like a nut house there when we landed at 6.30!!
