The best way for me to get to know a city is to walk and so we did. It was drizzly, bleak and a chill 16 C. Not my idea of a summer’s day and so crazy when I know that is the exact temperature right now in wintry Melbourne. Despite the weather there are many tourists here and endless numbers of them are following guides holding up umbrellas or sticks with weird forms of ID on them so no one is lost.
Also no end of people were touring the lanes and squares on Segways. I have come across them before but not in this number and probably they are not my choice of transport. I think I would be a loose cannon. They travel at speed over the cobblestones dispersing tour groups hither and yon. Helmets seem optional. Each to his own !!
Oh I'd LOVE a Segway! My dream job would be to be one of those men who zoom around Singapore Airport - not sure exactly what else the job entails but it looks such fun, and such a smooth carpet everywhere - no cobbles.
