Day 23:
Today was another travel day, but it was a bit different in that our flight was late in the day rather than early. This gave us an opportunity to explore some of Melbourne that we’d missed.
The first stop of the day was a Cook’s Cottage. This is the English cottage that Captain Cook lived in growing up. A Melbourne business man had purchased it and had it relocated to one of the many parks in the city. There wasn’t much to see, especially if you’ve done any history touring of the UK. Still it was fun to visit.
The second stop was a place called Queen Victoria Market. I would liken this to a flea-market in America, only of shop quality merchandise. It’s so vast that we only saw a fraction of it, but again it was a diverting couple of hours.
After that we had to catch our flight to Launceston, Tasmania. It turns out that this flight was a lot longer that you’d think it was. Tasmania is a big place we’d later find out.
Jill Update:
We were both pretty stressed out and tired today so things weren’t all fun in paradise. However, a good bit of retail therapy evened Jill out and I think things are good again.
