Melbourne has an amazing enthusiasm for food, coffee,
restaurants and bars which is great because I do too!
Last night I caught up with a friend who lives here and
thanks to his local knowledge I enjoyed one of the best meals I’ve had. We went to the Builders Arms in Fitzroy http://www.buildersarmshotel.com.au/ in
the north of the city and the food was just out of this world. I love the atmosphere in these places and the
friendliness of the staff who seem to have a genuine interest in making conversation.
Today I went to collect my F1 accreditation before getting a
tram up to Bridge Street for a bit of bargain hunting (unsuccessful) and a
wander into the centre of town. What I
enjoy so much about the streets outside of the centre is that they all have
their own identity and thanks to jet lag and walking around in the heat, I
stopped for a caffeine fix and even that little uneventful break was lovely.
The cafe/bars aren’t chic but they have so much character and I could have sat
at the window for ages watching the world go by.
I have returned to St Kilda where I will attempt to go for a
run before heading out tonight for an evening of ‘tucker’ and no doubt a
beverage or two with F1 driver Mark Webber who is welcoming a few of us in the
Aussie way. He won’t be having any booze
as he is a responsible athlete but as I am a guest, it would be rude not to!
I'll let you know how it goes!
