Soup at My Friend’s Place

11/12/2017

I am battling a cold and feeling worse than death warmed up on this Saturday morning.

It is a winters day, my chest is sore, and I am after a good old fashion serve of Melbourne’s best. My friend suggests a place not far from her place called “Friends of Mine” . Which I think at first, she literally means – it’s her friends place.

Turns out it is a very popular corner eats place.

I order soup of the day which is perfect for my aching body. It is  a potato soup – something I wouldn’t normally eat – but is therapeutic in it’s warmth alone.

What bedazzles me about Melbourne is that it really is an all weather city.  It is a cold brisk winter’s day with the sun peaking through the frosty leaves. I find a spot in the sun which is remarkably warm, but even if I wasn’t there was the option of a courtesy blanket.

I top it off with a peppermint tea and wander up into Richmond past all the ritzy car yards.  Get to My Friends Place if you are in town after a sleep in coffee or soup!

Etihad Stadium

11/12/201711/12/2017

Etihad Stadium, is a newish stadium in the CBD of Melbourne.

It is home to sporting events, namely AFL and Rugby Union and entertainment concerts.

On this night I went to watch Hawthorn’s last game of the season. I was so glad I flew down to watch them play.

Etihad has a real vibe. On a near full crowd the place heaves with noise, cheers and awesome lighting.  The facilities are considerate and cater for special needs. The foods is pretty dodgey like most Australian sporting venues, so eat before you come.

The easiest way to get to  Etihad is via train.  Just aim for Etihad Stadium, Docklands station. It is really easy once there and about a ten minute walk.

Fonda, Richmond

11/12/201711/12/2017

A funky Mexican place not far from the CBD of Melbourne can be found the suburb of Richmond. Fonda Mexican is a really great eats place.

I have been dining here for a few years now and it’s always great food.  The soft tacos are amazing, and all of them are worth trying.

They have wicked cocktails and I can highly recommend  the Lychee and Elderflower Magarita.

Worth swinging in for if you are in the Richmond areas, going to the MCG or shopping on Chapel Street.
