Sorrento



It could be argued that Sorrento isn't really a suburb of Melbourne, but it is close enough in our book, and a great weekend at a beachy location was a great contrast to our previous rain-drenched visit to the CBD.

The famous Continental Hotel - built from local sandstone

A nice arty something or other in the gallery

Is this an emerging theme? Mannequin hands?

 The hat guy. I felt like I should have purchased one but it isn't really me.

 The other famous hotel in Sorrento, called (strangely enough) The Hotel Sorrento. Subject of a movie by the same name.
A view of Sorrento foreshore, from the clifftop, accessed by a little known thoroughfare that meanders through the backyards of the poor millionaires who have to put up with a constant stream of sightseers.

CBD#1

This week's photo tour was a bit of a challenge. It rained, and rained, and rained. And when it wasnt raining, the trees and buildings continued to drip on us. This put one of us in a fairly grumpy mood. But, we persevered and the day gradually improved. Managed to cover roughly 1/4 of Melbourne's CBD, but probably the best 1/4. We'll be back.

Lots of rain, not many customers
