Melbourne (Day 8)

It was nearly noon when we took Caden out for a walk to Centre Road in his stroller. He protested vehemently when Alison slapped on the sun block lotion 'no.. mom.. eh.. eh.. no.. mom!' and shook his head vigorously from side to side. We dropped into a local bakery along the main road to have lunch.. but the food wasn't great.. and Caden only ate the icing sugar on top of the raisin cinnamon roll. I kept him occupied by playing a game using my finger to run along the carved grooves on the back of the chair.. and he likes being trapped.. 'Caden stuck!' After that, we bought the typical coffee and chocolate Big M.. Minties.. Cherry Ripe.. and Bounty chocolates from Coles supermarket before walking home in the heat. Caden was so tired that he promptly fell asleep lying on top of Justin!

Then Jimmy and I drove to the Docklands to have a look at the lovely apartments overlooking the bay. They cost a fortune.. although not quite as much as similar ones in Singapore.

Later that evening, we went for dinner at Tho Tho Vietnamese Restaurant in Richmond. Times have changes and I can't believe how many cars there were on the roads. We ordered deep fried prawn and pork spring rolls wrapped with lettuce and mint leaves.. broken rice with everything.. honey prawns.. diced beef with garlic.. and sautéed chicken with chilli and lemon grass.. topped it off with dessert.. banana fritters and fried ice cream.. BURP! We slept really late that night.. nearly 2am!
