Melbourne

Yesterday we flew from Sydney to Melbourne. After getting settled in our hotel, we hopped on the free city tourist tram, which circles the city center and gives a commentary on the sites. There was a power failure in a section of the track, so we got off and walked through the city on our own.

This afternoon we have a bus tour and river cruise in Melbourne, followed by a dinner on a tramcar. (Trams are big here!)

I have to mention the weather. Yesterday when we left Sydney, the forecast was for temps in the 90's. When we landed in Melbourne, it was 56 degrees and cloudy! It actually feels good, though, and hopefully we won't get any of the "possible showers" that are in the forecast. The high is supposed to be 64 today, 68 tomorrow.
