Yes the alleys and arcade walking tour was fantastic. I learnt a lot about the lay of the land as well as the history. We also stopped in and had a chocolate drink at Koko Black

If I get to fly out tomorrow I will check this tour then. (keeping an eye on ailing relatives)

I've just done an on line checking out of these. http://www.viator.com/booking/tourOptions.jspa?productCode=3671ARCADES&productID=PRODUCT&day=24&month=8&year=2015&itemId=&selectedHotelId=

Hope you get to fly out tomorrow Cookie, I know how much you have been looking forward to it.

All safely arrived thanks Katj.

I was in the city today and thought of you, Cookie ... there was a couple, obviously visiting from out of town, being given directions by a local who didn't know much more than they did.  When the 'local' left visitor lady said to visitor man "I didn't understand a thing she said".  I nearly spoke to them, but was scared I would make them even more confused than they already were!

Hope you enjoy your stay over here and find your way around without too much bother.

At one stage there was discussion about the tramcar restaurant.  I checked and unfortunately both Friday and Saturday nights are fully booked.  Sunday lunchtime is totally free at the moment, but I doubt that that would work for most of us - one weekend simply is not long enough to do everything we want to do!  Anyway, if there is any interest in the Sunday lunch tramcar restaurant let me know and I'll take it from there.

Marina I'd enjoy lunch on the Tramcar Restaurant, but not by myself. 

[judydawn]

It would be up my alley too girls.

OK, I'll start a list for the tramcar restaurant as I would also like to go on this.  We do not need a minimum number, although there is a maximum of 36 per tram.  I asked if we could request the route that the tram takes (I was hoping that we could go down Chapel Street, Prahran or St Kilda) but there are designated routes and that's that!

Lunch is from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm and costs $85.00 per person (this is current as at today's date).

So far we have:

Cookie
Judy
Marina
Gert
CP
Trudy & Wayne
Kezza
Djinni (Gayle)
kmw (Kerry)

[trudy]

Wayne and I are happy to come along.  Let me know how and when you need the money, I'm overseas at the moment but can do a bank transfer.

I had coffee with my cousin here in Melbourne today and she said the Tramcar restaurant was lovely.

This is an exclusive Forum Festers offer - if you want a copy of my latest fattest and inexplicably greatest favourites book, please PM me. A single copy costs me $50 and weighs 1.2kg (based on a book I recently got printed). No profit made from this book, its a love job.   I am capping the total at 20 as beyond that it gets harder to incorporate luggage costs and load into the taxi along with our suitcases and feather boas  Final numbers before 1 October because I always have issues with the printing side of things and need at least a couple of trips before they get it right.)

How exciting CP, pm on it's way.
