Typical Melbournians. Maybe his mother made his trousers from scraps.
Top hatted doorman at the Windsor Hotel (we didn’t stay there).
A plaque by the door tells us that the Windsor is “the grandest surviving hotel from Melbourne’s 1880s boom period” and that its “flamboyant architecture reflects the optimism of Marvellous Melbourne.”
“Flamboyant architecture” of the Windsor Hotel.
Internal lifts at the Stamford Plaza (we did stay here.)
The Stamford Plaza was big on stairs.
Looking down from the lift.
In the morning, we had a flood in the kitchen. The fridge had been set to Defrost, which it did all night. When we asked Reception if someone could come and clean it up, we were expecting a capable cleaning lady with a mop and bucket. Instead, we had a sweet young man in a suit from Reception, with two snowy white bath mats.
At this point, he was off hunting for more bath mats.
Melbourne is of course noted for coffee.
We met up with Walter and Maree. I went to school with Walter a few years ago.
With Walter and Maree, we went to the Hutong Dumpling Bar. A delightful lunch – great food and great company.
Maybe next time I visit you'll have pink hair too :)
