David and Yvonne's South East Asia travels
Happy Cup Eve as today is known in Melbourne as the Melbourne Cup excitement grows here. Today we went into the city to see the parade. There were local racing celebs, winning horses from previous years, marching bands, the works. Everyone seemed to be out for the parade. After a while we headed off into the CBD to enjoy some big beers and big burgers.
Tomorrow (cup day) is a public holiday and lots of people took today off to make a 4 day weekend. The city was heaving. We are both fascinated and excited about how mad tomorrow is going to be. All the local bars were jumping tonight and there were lots of buyers at the bottle shops (off licences) and the forecast is really good so we think we are going to see plenty of BBQs.
