Monday

After a leisurely start we caught the trusty Circle bus and headed for the Aquarium.Quite impressive if you like fish. A bit of a case of 'seen one, seen them all.' But i did enjoy the penguins. It's mating season and there was much courting behaviour which seemed to involved redistributing the smooth round pebbles to various ntsting places. We watched for quite a while.
We wondered home in the afternoon then went out to eat. We'd sussed out Lygon Street and knew where we wanted to go. Fascinating to observe that some places are obviously the popular places - packed out - and others were quiet. We were our usual adventurous selves and ate steak and Caesar Salad!.
We did lash out with a dessert because of its description. Vanilla bean and honey panna cotta with wild berry soup, caramel toffee shard and Persian fairy floss. Tasted pleasant even though the fairy floss on top looked like trolls hair.
We strolled up the rest of the street running the gauntlet of all those touting for business and explaining why we should eat at their place. When I told one guy we had already eaten he suggested i should eat again and save on having breakfast! I assured him I do that way too often!!
