We have discovered a juice chain called Boost where you can chose your fruits and they blend or juice them up, they also have a range of smoothies. Ev has become quiet addicted to them. To help save a few pennies here, Marc entered the spin the wheel comp at brekkie (it was free and you always win) and ended up with a Boost membership card saving us 10% a time ;)
When we stopped off at the info center they told us about a free tram that goes around the city in a loop – wish we knew about this sooner ;) so we hopped on it back to the hostel. We decided to head up the observation deck at Rialto Towers for some views over the city and to catch the sunset. The lift takes only 38 seconds to get up to the 55th floor - ear popping! They had a room booked out for a party & the walls were made of glass so everyone could see what was going on. This was interesting to watch as they all had clearly had loads to drink and soon the karaoke was dragged out.
We got some great views up here, and could see all over the city. We caught sight of the grand prix circuit, which is a normal street around a park, as well as the home of the Auzzie open tennis. A shame our trip was slightly mistimed for us to miss all the sports here. We decided to hang around for sunset, but we got the times wrong and ended up being in the tower for about 2 hours. Quite a long time to walk around in circles. You begin to get dizzy and get a mild case of vertigo ;) For sunset we had some hot chocolate before heading back down to street level.
We went for a wander around and queued (at about 10pm!!) to watch the Wombat Christmas Story being shown at the Myer window display, which was quite cute.
