Just another Sunday!

Sundays are a little different over here to what they were back home and they are a real treat day for us!  Instead of the Sunday roast we used to have at home (which we do miss by the way!), we head off somewhere for a big brunch!

Today is the first Sunday of December, and the first one of the Summer, and it's a hot one!  We have a nice lie in and then get on the bikes and head in the direction of St Kilda.  We venture to the end of the pier (where aparently you can sometimes see penguins!) and find the St Kilda Pier Kiosk.  It's too hot to sit outside so we find a table inside and order a breakfast each.  It's at times like that that we agree we're lucky to be here - sat with lovely food on a beautiful day with a view of the sea and the esplanade of St Kilda.

After breakfast we walk back along the pier and mooch around the St Kilda Arts and Crafts market before heading down trendy Acland Street.  Before we go back to the bikes we stand and watch as people scream on the ricketty old rides at Luna Park!  One day we're going to brave them - but not today!

When we get back to the apartment we decide that there's still half a day left for us to enjoy so we get on a train to Chapel Street.  We get off at one end and by the time we get half way down we decide it's time to stop for coffee and a cake!  Cakes don't come in half measures here, so it's a large coffee and a humungous piece of Coffee Club Mud Cake!  Delicious yes, but you definitely know you've had it!  Sarah Lee's not a patch on this beauty!

So it's back to the apartment and Darren gets ready to cycle to footie and hopefully win with his 5-aside footie team - the Mighty Poms In Oz.  I on the other hand sit on the decking and catch the last of the sun with a Koala 'No Worries' tea!  Breakfast, cake and sunshine - what a struggle Sunday has been!
