Melbourne Day 2
Well today was one interesting day! I got up about 6:00 a.m. and had breakfast. It was the most normal food we had by that time. Our $20 breakfast included eggs, bacon, and toast. After breakfast we went on what they call a "stroll" we enjoyed the lovely architecture. It was definitely a hike as to where I don't walk much around Manhattan. We sat on a meeting and talked about the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS).

After our meeting and lunch we had a bus tour of the city. One of the most interesting sites was the St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was the largest Gothic venue in the the Southern hemisphere. Next was the tour everyone was waiting for.. the brewery tour! We toured the Carlton facilities and then had a free taste testing afterwards. Finally it was supper time, after we walked all over the city to find somewhere to eat. We ate at a casino buffet which was good since it had a lot of choices. Last but not least you would think that night would be over.. but instead we found an ice bar!!!! Which was freezing.. literally! I have only seen the ice bars in Vegas and on the travel channel so being able to experience it was great.
