I took the train into the city, John had marked some points of interest on the map. From Flinders Street station I ambled up through the little lanes and arcades that echoed boutique lanes of Rome and Brighton with all the cafes and jewellery shops. I found a nice chocolate shop where I didn't have to sit in the middle of a crowded noisy lane. The chocolates were expensive and splendid, I had 3 exquisite chocolates and a coffee, a rather decadent morning tea but I'm not exactly fat.
I visited the State Library which has some free exhibitions.

| In a very small space. |
I got the free inner city tram a few times and got a nice take away salad lunch. Yes see that offsets the chocolates, ha! Mmm yummy!

| YUM! |
Oddly, whilst eating the potato bits I thought about Brighton Pier. The original Brighton, the one in the UK. I finished the day after a walk around the art gallery and through the botanic gardens.
