Yesterday Darren, Linda, SM and I went to the City for a day out. First of all we wanted to have breakfast in Flinders Lane so we got to the city around 9am and found our way to our favourite joint The Quarter Cafe.

After brekkie we took a gentle stroll from The Quarter Cafe to Southbank. Darren and Linda went to a home exhibition whilst SM and I went to Crown Casino to take a look and walk about. We caught up for lunch at 1.3opm at Shark Fin Inn, 50 Lt Bourke St, for yum cha. We really enjoyed the meal there ..... The dim sums were excellent. Something we always enjoy when we want a hearty Chinese meal with lots of varieties.

Darren suggested we take a drive to St Kilda after lunch. They showed us their new apartment on St Kilda Rd and Darren shouted us for a Belgian beer at The Belgian Beer Cafe, 557 St Kilda Rd, 03 9529 2899 (next to the Alfred Hospital). Darren had a Stella Artois and I had a Hoegaarden, both on the tap. The ladies had bitter ginger. I found the Hoegaarden easy to drink, low on alcohol so it suited me. Alcohols were about $6.50 each. It was a cool but sunny day and drinking beautiful beers in a relaxing garden set up was an appropriate end to a fine day in the city area and St Kilda.....
