    Version 2 of today's blog. Typed it up and it wouldn't upload then lost it.
    This morning Vanessa (ex Air Force) arrived for morning tea and then she took me to be a tourist. We went up the lift that was built in 1916 and as she said it would have been pretty amazing technology back then. They installed it because trams weren't able to get up the hill. The view from the top was amazing and very pleased I went. Loved the tunnel walking to it and the echo as I made some sounds like a school kid.
    We then went to a grand old building for lunch (dinner), really old school and tasty food. Forgot to take a picture of it - sorry.
    Vanessa and I walked along the banks of the river. Saw a couple of people fishing.
    Back to Vanessa's loads more talking and she cooked me a meal. I have done very well with eating out this week. Again very tasty.
    She has just dropped me home and I am pleased I have one other couple staying at the same place.
    For those interested I didn't need the rug last night and that is the last of the bed sagas!
