The gluten free meal I had on the plane home from Melbourne last night:
Or the complimentary wine:
Dinner at The Deanery Friday night:
The 5:15am WAKE UP CALL we all got Saturday morning at The Oaks on Market. All 4 rooms of our group. Something wrong there.
Or I could just write a few sentences and post some photos. You all cool with that?

Takeoff from Canberra Friday morning
Was down in Melbourne Friday/Saturday for a meeting on Saturday. Headed down Friday morning so I could catch up with a friend for lunch and do some Melbourne wanderings before the scheduled dinner Friday night and meeting all day Saturday…

Now to share with you my little accommodation bargain – $65 per night, booked just at the right time – Hotel Ibis, Little Bourke St.
Comfy beds!
I understand the rack rate to be closer to $120 – I probably wouldn’t have paid that online having not seen it before, but it worked out well for the $65 (I never pay full price for my hotels!) but this little twin room suited us for our stay. And it was walking distance (past the strip clubs of King Street!) to the Crown conference venue/casino.

Since returning home, I’ve learned that Nashi is a small chain of cafes/sandwich bars in Melbourne, with the cute green colour of the Nashi fruit.

Fruit Salad, $5.50
While I’m on breakfasts, I had to eat something for brekkies while in Melbourne this week – and fortunately we stumbled across Blanc Cafe on King Street on the way to the conference venue.
I like the collectible teaspoons!
Melbourne, you really do know how to make coffee, don’t you? I don’t think i can have Canberra coffee for awhile now! Spoilt!
(Their raisin toast was also awesome!)

One advantage of going to meetings interstate has to be trying the different restaurants they take us out to!
Fed Square was packed on Friday night for the men’s semi-final for the tennis.
The year we were booked into Chocolate Buddha in Federation Square Melbourne. They technically don’t do a banquet, but the very attentive waitress organised one for us. She was also vey good at paying attention to those with food allergies and intolerances – including among the group MSG, peanuts and dairy.
The stated us off with the beans, which we munched away on. So much green!
