Melbourne is a great city with a lot of "soul" and character. With all the trams, sidewalk cafes, wide boulevards, distinct neighborhoods, Melbourne has more of a European flair than Sydney. Although Melbourne does not have the Opera House, it is a city full of great modern architecture..a successful mixture of old with the new.

We stayed with a friend, who lives in one of the inner suburbs. She gave us great recommendations for restaurants...one evening we had ate at an excellent fusion Japanese restaurant.

For Georges, it is the first time that he had been back to his birth place. So we found the hospital where he was born...St. Vincents. We also visited Mount Waverly, an outer suburb, where he lived as a baby. We met up with the old neighbor for tea, who still lives across the street from the house. She is 83 and still very active...back then she babysat Georges.
