Weekend

Friday night we dined around the corner at Boheme.

Saturday morning, we ran some errands in the neighborhood, finishing at our local Saturday morning street market where we bought fruits and veggies at bargain prices (or rather Uta did - I found the whole experience a bit much, what with all the people and their pets, kids, shopping carts, strollers, etc.). Saturday night, we took a tram downtown to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, followed by a late dinner at Pellegrini's, a Melbourne landmark. This old Italian diner is nothing more than a hole in the wall (most of the seating is at the counter), but its regarded as Melbourne's original Italian eatery and was the first restaurant in the city to have an espresso machine.

Sunday (i.e., today), we enjoyed breakfast on our balcony, thanks to lots of sun and no wind. We then toured around for two hours on our bicycles on the many paths that lie east of the city. We spent the afternoon doing nothing, and then returned to the balcony tonight to grill up dinner. Tasty.
