Melbourne, Australia - Start of Adventure

Adventures are opportunities that happen - sometimes planned for months and sometimes the plan is hatched spontaneously. My Australian journey came about after conversation through text messaging with friends. Our messages started with planning a happy hour and ended with an invitation to travel to Melbourne to visit their daughter! Ten days later I am in the heart of Melbourne. Pour yourself a flat white and join me.

As shadows grow long and our energy wanes we call it a day. And what a day it was-thanks Melbourne for a fun introduction.
