What a way to travel. Yesterday, I hitched a ride for the first time in my life... Well not exactly, but I was offered a ride by a stranger and I took it. So much fun!
I am living in Kensington right now and the very famous 'Flemington Race Track' is close by. That means there are lots of stables and horses in the area. I had walked to the closest tram stop to wait for my ride into the city. Along came two horse and carriages headed into town to work. I hoped that one of the drivers would offer me a lift. How cool to be up high and go into town in such a unique way. The second guy called out to ask if I was headed into the city. I said I was and he assured me that he was faster than the tram that was following. I hesitated a split second before climbing up with the driver. What fun...
I hope I can do it again. I guess I just have to be there at the right time. Try it sometime!

Oishikata (that was delicious)
Warung Agus ...
Ahhhh, what a wonderful meal. Last night we went off for our monthly get together. It is supposed to be book club and we are supposed to discuss a book each month. Half the group (including me) don't even read the book. Mostly, it is just a bunch of noisy girls laughing and talking about everything. We have so much fun together. I really missed that bunch whilst I was away.
Last night was Balinese food. I don't remember ever having eaten anything so delicious in Bali when I was there. The meal was fantastic. If you live in Melbourne, or if you drop by sometime, check it out.
