Another Birthday!!

It has been a year since my first entry on this blog!! The year
went by quickly, and I guess it is a good sign. That probably means it had been a good year!!

Some months ago, I planned to spend this year's birthday on a holiday, and so on 5th October, I went to Melbourne. For the ten days there, being Spring time, the weather was really, really good.

Took some lovely walks in the parks, gardens and visited a few wildlife parks.  Went to Phillip Island Wildlife Park and the Nobbies. Saw some pelicans, seal lions, kangaroos, emus, koalas, kookaburas and many more animals, unique to Australia.

  On my birthday, I had lunch with Tony and Zumi, at an Italian restaurant, Mercadante at Lygon. We had pizza, lasagne and leek soup....and an unusual dessert, chocolate pizza!! Continued to have more desserts.....gelato, of 'cos. Then we walked to a nearby park and then to the Fitzroy Gardens. Visited the Conservatory, Captain Cook's Cottage, The Tudor Village and the Fairy Tree.
