HOT

hottest day of the tennis open - 40 degrees celcius, 104 of our degrees!  We saw Azarenka, and Serena Williams play first.  Then Tomac - the Australian who had several cheering section- lots of fun to watch. Harry and Judy went back to the hotel when the heat got so bad - I stayed till the end. Saw this stubby tailed lizard at an opal shop - also had a blue tongued lizard, but he wouldn't stick out his tounge for a picture.

Had some poisonous spiders there also - they stayed locked in their boxes!!

Eureka building

went to eat on the 89 floor of the Eureka Building - great food - beauriful view of the tennis area from our floor - tomorrow we will be in the Rod Laver arena for the day tennis matches.

Tuesday

went to the Victorian market this morning - saw a guy playing a digiradoo - old Australian instrument made of bamboo.  Also went to the Aquarium - saw penquins and a shark pool with a downed plane - glad that wasn't our plane!!!

Finally arrived in Melbourne - after 15 hour flight!

Amish Village

The women make beautiiful quilts - this style bed has a rolling pin on the top - sometimes is not actually attached - could be very useful at times!
