We only slept at about 530 last night... So no chance of getting early to the game. Which is just as well since we were subject to a wild leather chase with Australia turning the screws, scoring at almost 4 an over through the day.
So we didn't go to the game at all today. Today was Discover Melbourne day (more like Discover drinking in Melbourne day). Woke up in time for a 4pm lunch. Got out to discover the hottest sun I'd ever experienced. Headed to the city after that and A took us to an uber chic bar called the Melbourne Order. A very skeptic Ponna and A then headed to watch Priscilla Queen of the Dessert and the rest of us headed to another bar (yep - lotsa drinking went down yesterday) called The Long Room - another very hip bar and sank ourselves into a few more Mojitos.
A couple of hours of that later, we caught up again with Ponna, A and the rest of the crew and headed for an Indian dinner - a resto which had it's first night open that night. Food was pretty good actually.
Then, after getting refused at a couple of back alley bars, A took us to docklands to a bar by the Yarra river, called Fix, that I thought was yet another very chilled out place to hang at.
Finally got home at about 4am after a very nice drive to the other end of Melbourne to drop A home (as a side note I think A has been a very lovely and warm host to us... She's taken pains to show us around and take us to the cool placed that Ponna doesn't have the slightest clue about!!! :)). On the way back from her place, Ponna was sleepy at the wheel and got me to drive part of the way home in the borrowed 5 series bimmer. Good car, very responsive engine, very balanced steering.
In the meanwhile, India is 6 for no loss, chasing a mammoth 499 to win. We'll be at the ground willing the boys on. But we're up against it.
