29 October 2022 Melbourne: Afternoon tea at the Langham


Today the weather broke and the sun was shining.  We walked to our afternoon tea and it felt nice to have the sun on our faces.  The Langham is a classic old school hotel and it was very luxurious. There was a long stairway up to the area that had the afternoon tea.  Since it was the weekend we had the champagne pairing so a toast to our travels, and then we dug into our afternoon tea.  Savories with lobster and sweets with mango and lemon.  We enjoyed the tea and when we were done we headed outside.  We had not gotten far before the rain started again so we changed plans and heded back to the place.  Since we have an early departure 8AM, we got all out bags together and made dinner.  It is off to Uluru in the morning.

Folks were watching this guy try this jump on his skateboard and he was not able to land. I got this shot just ad he launched and wouldn't you know it, he stuck the landing 


We saw a similar system on the the Thames.
