Flaming Flemebae, Gelato....a day of icecream it two of its international forms

That was Skys spelling of french as I am not even going to try!

Today Brenna (who was totally gobsmacked that I didn't know what gelati was) whisked us away from class to get some. I have to say that my selection of Bacio (chocolate and hazelnut) White Bacio (white chocolate and hazelnut) and boysenberry was truly delicious. Where have I been all my life? David from the course had ordered some too but I ended up wearing the melts of it before we got it back to him, distracted as I was by my own tub.

I am enjoying this PDC immensly. Bill is teaching the morning and boy, can he tell a good story. I can't wait to share some of his experiences with people when I get home. The personal anecdotal stories are the ones that people remember and Bill has at least one story to back up every word he has ever written. He has had over 80 years of observation and considered thought about the world, it is a great treat to be here sharing his stories.

In the evening we (sky and I) set off to find
some dinner. Brenna had told us about a great italian cafe on Lygon st which is not far from where we are staying.

I had always thought that Auckland was bad for not having st signs but Melbourne is even worse! By the time we gave up looking for Lygon St (we passed it as it had no signs) we had been walking for an hour and a half. We really had our minds set on pasta but settled for a traditional french creperie for dinner as we both had sore feet. Sky had been wanting flaming food for many years so when we saw other guests having some she didn't even have to ask, the look on her face said it all!

So 2 savory crepes and one flaming 1 with ice cream later, we set off to find our way home. Having no map with us, we had to rely on the directions of our lovely waitress. She was spot on and luckily this end of Lygon St actually had a sign so we were able to find many,many cute italian places to eat.

I noted some land marks so we can find our way back to them another time.

Actually, not being much of a city girl, Melbourne is much easier to get around at night time (most of the 3.8 million people are at home) and we were able to really figure out how to get around at our own pace.
