Melbourne, May




We made it to Melbourne a day after being in Kosciuszko national park. We like Melbourne, lots of character. We visited the aquarium after finding a parking place for 2 motorhomes, not an easy task. What a great aquarium it was, giant manta rays and huge crabs that can live for 50 years. That night, rather than trying to find a caravan park for the night, we parked together and enjoyed a night under the overpass. Surprisingly we all slept great. We had a good laugh about the country bumpkins sleeping under the bridge in Melbourne.
We took the evening ferry to Tasmania, spending a night in the on board cabins. The kids thought it was wonderful! They sqealed when they saw how big the boat was and then again when they got to sleep in bunk beds. And yet again when they got to go see the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie with Grammy at the theaterette. It was a very nice ferry, very clean and comfy.
