Things have been busy in blogland. A trip to Melbourne saw us stay at the delightful Prince Hotel in St Kilda, dining daily at Circa The Prince - great Australian food served simply in a contemporary and beautiful environment.

This week has been particularly kind, with dinner at Aria, Jimmy Liks and the Gazebo. Highlights? Pork belly at Aria, Mussaman curry at Jimmy Liks and espresso martinis at Gazebo.

Oh and did I mention 5/5 days at Virgin Active?
