Lurgy hits again, this time little Isla has been up all night vomiting. So we have a day out just the 4 of us. Head into the city on the tram, stop for a quick coffee before walking up Flinders street, much better when it's not raining!! We stop to watch a street entertainer, before jumping on the sightseeing double decker bus! Despite initial moaning, Gethin really enjoys it. We take in all the sights and pick up some information about Melbourne on our way aroun...

Good Friday! Quiet day today after the busy road trip! Take a short drive to Brighton and set out for a walk along the front, though the weather quickly turns against us and it starts blowing a gale and lashing down with rain! We make it to the pirate ship play ground and cafe, the boys have a quick play before we retreat to the cafe. More flat whites and brunch! Coco pops for gethin, hot cross bun for owain and Annabel and pancakes for Archie and Isla. This tim...

We were also treated to a school of dolphins swimming along side for quite a while! Lovely to see anim...

Enjoyed looking around all the different mazes, letting the boys explore and try out the different mazes and then odd to the tube slides. Gethin again quite nervous although keen to have a go didn't actually make it down the slide runs. Jon and the McInn...

We get on and get packed up, and then Jon and I take gethin, owain and the girls out for coffee to give Sarah and Calum time to pack up. Up to middle park for coffee and hot cross buns!
