The hares, two delightful English gels, otherwise known as convicts who missed the earlier boats, set a lovely run through some of Melbourne’s most scenic spots. Which was Maple Muff’s favourite bit – the gorgeous gardens? The magnificent Westgate Bridge? The peaceful Yarra waters? The cutting-edge Docklands precinct? The excitement of Etihad Stadium?? No, no and no. What got her rocks off was “Oh Wow, you’ve got Costco in Melbourne!” We’ve got McDonalds too. We should set up a couple of debating teams led by Udder and Maple Muff with special subject: Aldi versus Costco.
After we had the circle SB and Aristokat sent us to forage for ourselves at the Queen Victoria Night Market across the road – lots of exotic foodie stalls with live music and lots of excitement. Great idea by the hares and great for hash to experience something a bit different.
