Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a cosmopolitan city with a european edge. We spent a week enjoying the museums, galleries and parks as well as the many excellent cafes! Also, the annual comedy festival was on, so we caught a couple of shows which were very good. We particularly liked the area of Fitzroy where we spent a lot of time including two good meals with a friend of our friend Naomi, Liz.
