and that was the holiday...

Took a few days off to travel with my both daughters to Melbourne - a place that is a fantasy land of food and drink from all ethinic backgrounds.So, of course this lady indulged!
Japanese dumplings and okonomyaki ( omlette ), greek cream cakes, borek from Queen Victoria Markets ( a must have ) and much more.
I shopped much more than I needed to and spent too much money on "stuff " than one just cannot buy in the colony in New South Wales.
I did the Haunted Ghost Tour of Melbourne in the pouring rain but loved hearing the stories of the city's deep dark past.
Also took the free shuttle around the city and went to the Art Gallery ( a very cultured thing to do!)
But then it was all too soon time to head home and thats when things turned ugly!
You see this delicate little Lady suffers from vertigo, and one very turbulant journey home meant one very severe attack!
So I was not a pretty picture - vertigo for me as worse than labour pains, far worse..it is a suffering that I cannot bear until it is over. Any movement, light , sound everything irritates me as I try to battle with the pain in my head and the nausea that comes in waves.
Today as I sit here I can say that it is over but there was a while last night when I could have reached for a gun.
This building is one of the many gorgeous old buildings in the city centre.
This is on the front of the Gothic ANZ building - a must see!
