These photos were taken at "Suga" in the Queen Victoria Markets. They make a feature in their shops of the toffee (candy) making. It is facinating to watch. It is quite a heavy job and involves skill too! They are so good at it! I was fascinated to watch them at the markets. Then we went to Southland the next day, found another Suga shop and watched them there too!
We loved our holiday in Melbourne. I guess anywhere we don't usually go to would have been fun, because everything was new and exciting. Even the zoo! We have annual zoo membership for Zoos SA which means that we can go to the Adelaide Zoo or Monarto as many times as we want for a 12 month period. It also meant we could go to the Melbourne Zoo for free. It was pretty exciting because of the butterfly house and also the elephants. We don't have any elephants here in SA so the kids were pretty excited to see elephants. Especially Mr 8. So, I am grateful for the holiday, but think I need another! (There's no pleasing some people, is there?)

Oww Kris, that wouldn't have been an enjoyable trip home for you at all.... I so sympathise with you.... migraines are the pits and I bet you're pleased to have been able to curl up in your own bed. Take care hun, hugs xx
Driving home in the car with a migraine would not have been fun, but I hope that you are much better now. It must have been good to be home in your own bed. Well I guess it's like that isn't it .... you come back from a holiday and you can't wait to go away again. I think that anywhere that you go that is different to where you normally live is exciting, and nice for a holiday.
I hope you're feeling much better as I know migranes can sometimes make you feel groggy even the next day.
Glad you had a good break.
we have zoo cards too and it's very handy when you go to melbourne :)
sorry to hear your trip back was so bad - hope your head clears up soon so you can get back to normalcy- and no doubt, mountains of washing.

There's no place like home is there,but isn't it funny how when you come back from holiday you need another to get over it. I hope your migraine is better now. I like the pictures of the toffee pulling, great how the reflections have come out in them. I can remember pulling toffee when we were kids,we did smaller amounts, quite fun, but not very good for our teeth.

Isn’t the best thing from a holiday to go back home? Sorry to hear about your migraine! I’ve enjoyed watching the picturs from your trip!
I am glad you made it home and hope you feel better now. At least you had a good time together ;-).
I hope you enjoyed your few days away. I know what you mean about needing another holiday, especially after emptying the suitcases and having to do all the washing! x
