As part of Emily's Birthday we went into town for some food and a ride on a horse-drawn carriage.



As you can see from above, she was very very excited about it. Its a lovely ride around the city. It takes you out to the gardens, round and back for about 45mins. It was a lovely warm day and we had great fun. The only worrying part was Emily's tendency to lean right out the carriage and Leigh or I having to quickly lunge and drag her back before a car zoomed past too close.

After the horse ride we went up the Rialto Tower, a lovely gift from Colin and Oli. It is one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne and has a great 360 degrees viewing deck right at the top. The pass was a day long pass which meant that we went up in the afternoon and then had some dinner and went back up to see the city by night also.
