Our last two days in Melbourne (and Australia) were dedicated a whole lot to...food. Like many cities, Melbourne has great food and a lot of options, and with the family we did our best to enjoy as much of it as possible!
In the last two days we've eaten Chinese dim sum, tons of fresh fruits, Devonshire tea (great scones), Australian donuts, Mediterranean and Ethiopian food. We've enjoyed it thoroughly! The tea shop we stopped in was in a beautiful mall - which could only be reached through a fancy little alleyway, something that is common in Melbourne.
We also enjoyed a few non-food activities! We took a trip through this Victoria Market, a huge open air market with everything from art to food to clothes. Brendan and I went to Much Ado about Nothing, my favorite Shakespeare play, in a theater built to replicate the Globe theater. (Luckily on family member was actually interested in joining me - while Patrick kindly offered, I think it's fair to say that Shakespeare is not his cup of tea.) We also went through a "Dialogue in the Dark" experience, an hour long experience designed to help you experience the world as a blind person does. This was really surprisingly interesting to me, as our guide walked us through scenarios from identifying an ATM to boarding a (simulated) train in total darkness.

We're wrapping up our time here now, getting already to do our final packing before hopping a plane bright and early. Thanks for sticking with us through our journey!
