Lazy Day in Melbourne

Today we had a leisurely day. After breakfast in the hotel's communal kitchen, we took a tram into downtown for some shopping. We did not find anything, so we took another tram to the bay area outside of town to try our hand at lawn bowling at a local club. We found out yesterday that the Aussie rules football league only plays games on the weekends, so we would not be able to go to an event. So we thought we would create our own sporting extravaganza, but the club was closed. We did have a nice walk around the pier until we tried to catch the tram home. A large fire had broken out at a local theatre and all tram traffic was stopped and car traffic diverted. It took us awhile to walk through the mess. Tonight we plan on enjoying some tapas and drinks at a local Spanish restaurant.
