After our trip to Sydney we went down to Melbourne for a few days to just relax. Of course we spent some great times with our friend Shannon. She was our designated tour guide, and she did a great job. We had lunch with friends, went shopping (Ashton found a great coat) and we found some cool picture spots. Melbourne is a bit more laid back than Sydney. melbourne seeems a bit more liberal!
We took a day trip up to a Wildlife Sanctuary and got to pet a kangaroo! We then did a few winery tours and tastings. All in all, our last day in Melbourne was quite relaxing. We even got a few bottles home to enjoy later.
Melbourne was such a great time and I really enjoyed the time with Ashton. It will be great to take David there next time.
