As I mentioned, I woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep. I went back to the same cafe and brought my latest writing project. I like writing when I travel. For some reason I feel more productive.
I walked to the Royal Botanic Garden. Yes, it's free. The most interesting thing about it was the birds. They have some real "I'll swallow your soul" energy. (Evil Dead 2 reference that probably only my brother will get.)
I think those were cockatoos. So pretty, so evil sounding. They had some other interesting birds.
The landscape itself is really beautiful.
This is the Yarra river.
I went back to the hotel where I had made reservations for their fancy high tea. Yes, I decided to do it. It was fancy. The tea was great but unfortunately, because I drank a lot of it without milk, it gave me a tummy ache.
There were also scones.
I laid low for the rest of the day, which is fine given I was sleep deprived and today I'm going on a lengthy tour to see animals and penguins (I know penguins are also animals, but they are a particular feature of the tour.) I hope to find out more information about why koalas always look stoned.
