The
first of August marked the beginning of my friend Jess’s great Viennese
adventure. Although I may never forgive her for abandoning me for the wonders
of Europe we did get to spend her last few days down under exploring some unique
parts of our city, ticking off some ‘must do before I leave’ things.
First
was our market stall at the Camberwell Markets. We picked possibly the coldest Sunday morning to hang out
with the gals and sell our pre loved clothes to savvy market shoppers. Coffees
were drunk, the sun shone and we all bonded over numb feet. It was fun, and I
would do it in again in a heartbeat (in a potentially warmer part of the year.)
From
the markets we decided to start up the lunch club and headed over to Oakleigh for
some outstanding Greek food. I’ve never been to this part of town before but
will definitely be going back. The walking streets were lined with cafés and
restaurants filled with families enjoying the sunshine. Go quickly, share the
Greek food with good friends and make an afternoon of it.
After our happy weekend the mood became sadder because a couple of days later Jess’s goodbye drinks saw up all exploring her old neck of the woods, Balaclava. Balaclava is a very cool part of Melbourne, full of good bars, perfect froyo stalls and fun little shops. It’s also home to Melbourne’s largest orthodox Jewish community, which means there are many kosher restaurants and delis. Fun history fact (in Jess’ honor)– Balaclava was named after the Battle of Balaclava, which took place during the Crimea War. Its streets are also named after other big players of the war, e.g Malakoff Street named after the Battle of Malakoff and Raglan Street named after Lord Raglan. I’m really going to miss Jess a lot, and while I hope she has a wonderful time over there I hope she’ll be back before I know it so we can get coffee, eat froyo late at night and read many a historical information board in public places again soon. Love ya babe, and bon voyage!
