Here we are in St Kilda - the newly discovered Cake Capital of the Universe........Acland Street...... I must be hallucinating.... there are more cake shops here than I have ever dreamt of!
A suburb of Melbourne, situated on Port Phillip Bay, St Kilda is cosmopolitan, quirky & full of beautiful buildings & verdant parks. Palm trees line the Esplanade, a walk way stretches for miles alongside the beach, used by walkers, joggers, rollerbladers & cyclists. The place seems to be inhabited by sporty, beautiful people.....maybe they have to exercise all day in order to work off the cakes!?
It's the home of the 100 year old iconic Luna Park fun fair. "Veg Out", a wonderful community garden where residents can grow their own veg & cook them in its kitchen & BBQ area. Albert Park, around whose lake the Australian Grand Prix is held & the marina, full of amazing yachts.
We watched kite surfers speeding through the bay- (you can see Melbourne's sky scrapers in the background.)
We ended the day with a wonderful meal in a restaurant on the beach, watching the sun melt into the ocean. Thanks Mark & Mel for treating us to this for our Christmas present. xx
