Hi, Susan.
We’re having a wonderful time in Australia. We arrived in Melbourne last week and stayed there for two days. On the first day, we went to Royal Botanic Gardens. Visiting Botanic Gardens is the best free thing to do in Melbourne. There are more than 8500 species of plants here. In the summer, there are also live performances in the Gardens. On the next day, we visited Royal Exhibition building. It’s one of the oldest places in Melbourne. We arrived in Sydney yesterday morning. The city was so nice in the sunshine. We sat in a café by the river and had lunch. Sydney is more exciting than Melbourne, but it is noisier and more expensive. Melbourne is smaller, but it has a lot of lovely old buildings and great restaurants. That’s why I prefer Melbourne.
Wish you were here.
Jennifer.
