Out & About - On the Trams

Yep, that's me I'm talking about. I had my first trip on a tram last Saturday since coming home.

Hills have a tram fully covered with their Logo & Bill wanted to go to Flinders St to see if he could get a photo of it. So I decided that as it was a nice day it would be the ideal opportunity to have a practice run at getting on & off trams.

The steps are fairly high and I wasn't sure if I could get up & down but all was well and it was achieved with relative ease. Of course getting on is only half the adventure, you have to find a seat but some nice young boy took pity on a poor old lady with crutches so I didn't have to hobble far. Anyway I made it on & off, over to Federation Square where Bill set up the camera, I sat on the wall in the sun, and 'tram spotted' for the next hour. While we saw lots of trams (so many with great Logo's) we never saw the Hills one so will have to try again another day.

After he packed up we went and had a yummy lunch in one of the many cafes at Fed Square and then caught the tram back home. It was great to be out and about again.

Sunday night was another adventure with us going to watch our 'new' basketball team the South Dragons, Melbourne's newest team, at Vodafone Arena. (This time by cab). They had played their first home game last week but we were at the Big Night Out. This game was against the Melbourne Tigers and while they did very well for the first half they lost in the end. Still fingers crossed for next time. Anybody seeing the news since the weekend might know that the coach has now been replaced so we will attend our next game with interest.

So after another weekend of adventure in good ole Melbourne town I'll leave you once again

until next time ..........
