Melbourne
We have just returned from spending a week with our five-year-old grandson in Melbourne exploring the city by public transport. All our grandchildren at the age of five receive a holiday with their grandparents at an RCI resort. We have been
to Coolangatta, Fiji, Palm Cove and now Melbourne and enjoyed every one. Our grandson especially enjoyed the tram ride from famous Flinders Street after a big day at Healesville wildlife sanctuary, that took us back to our apartment at Central Sky Lounge by the Victoria Markets. Yet another memorable RCI holiday.

Ancient Greece
A must see when in Athens - the temple in the background of this photo is dedicated to the Virgin Goddess Athena built between 470 & 432 BCE. It is opposite the Parthenon at the renovated Acropolis in Athens. While visiting in October of last year, we witnessed an annual military ceremony to mark the repulsion of the Germans by the Greeks in 1944. An interesting spectacle conducted to the right of the Temple of Athena. The crush to get through the only entry gate for the Acropolis was well worth the effort. The 360-degree views of Athens were a bonus to the history of the mountain and its magnificent temples.

Port Macquarie
Port Pacific is a beautiful resort. The apartments have been refurbished since our last visit, 3 or 4 years ago with lovely spacious rooms. The resort is well situated, just a few hundred metres from the beach and from the new shopping mall, complete with supermarket. We enjoyed the coastal walks and the nearby harbour. Port Macquarie is especially proud of its history and the museums are interesting and well laid out. These municipal attractions were also very reasonably priced costing only a few dollars. We enjoyed visiting Roto House, a Victorian home that has been restored to its original condition. The highlight for me was the visit to Rod Page’s pottery at Bonville. He was very welcoming and demonstrated his craft. He was generous with his time and explained his methods and the process of the wheel and the kilns. I would recommend a visit to this resort and Port Macquarie. We found plenty to interest us, even on this our second visit.
