We went into the big smoke today (Melbourne) it's a trek and a half now, about 1 1/2 hours each way.
We've spent so much time away from the city now that it seemed unrecognisable, it's noisy, smelly, busy and grotty.
There are some things I miss though, the endless choice of eateries, the millions of shops, but mostly the parks. There are so many beautiful parks around Melbourne, they're so quiet and serene they make you feel worlds away from the city.
