14 Jan 08 -- 18 Jan 08

The last week of work kept me busy with pretty much no time to do any site seeing. Most of the week's highlights were dinner. On the last night, I decided to go take some evening and night pictures around the city.

KFC
Monday's Dinner. Some KFC wrap.

Fish and Chips at the Corkman

Walking in the CBD. It is summer. I have to wait till about 9:30pm to take night shots!

Flinders Street Station

The flight back was much better. The entertainment system had video on demand. Hence I spent the entire flight sipping wine and watching movies like Balls of Fury, and some others that I cannot remember. However I did remember "The Brave One" starring Jodie Foster that I did not manage to complete before touch down. It was so boring, I was glad I did not spend to watch it on the big screen. Thus ends my two weeks in Melbourne. Nice.
