Lunch, Dinner, Dancing in Melbourne

After walking Collins Street we decided to have lunch at one of the small restaurants in the LaneWay- soup and salad because we had a busy night planned of us.
We started off on our TOUR- Wine and little bites. It was a walking and a tram tour of some of the special places in town  We started out at the Deanery where we taste 3 wines, a Riesling, pinot gris and then a shyrah. We had fried cauliflower with the Riesling and the a small heirloom salad and beef cooked slowly in red wine with mashers.
Then off to Japanese-Orion beer, Sake and then red wine- not so good.  But they did make a fried corn ball with green tea salt. This was not a favorite spot, but the next one Seamtress was a hoot. Here you walked up 3 flights of stairs- the SweatShop bar was in the basement. We started out with sparkles-like champagne, then a white and a red wine. Small spoon bites here and they were featuring a Pink Chihuahua made with tequila.  Had to have one of those.  Tasted a lot like a Tequila Pisco Sour. This whole concept was based on clothing from weaving to wearing.  Clever and cheeky. 
We had to hurry back to the ship to be in time for departure and Rock the Boat Party outside by the pool.  This was fantastic and and what a evening we had.

Then it was time to sail way to Geelong.
