We've been having rotten weather recently, being freezing, rainy and at one point (and of course when I was walking home from the bus stop) hailing. But today, despite being cloudy, it was actually really nice, which made it the close-to-perfect day to take my friend to the Eureka Skydeck. For those who aren't familiar with this building: it is a very very very tall building in Melbourne that has a panoramic viewing deck of the city which is stunning. After only a few seconds in the lift, you are taken to the 88th floor and it is amazing how high up you are and seeing the familiar city from a completely different angle.
I had visited the skydeck before with a group of friends just after I finished high school. Looking back, it was quite poetic gesture that we undertook when you think about it, because when we finished all of our exams, I know I felt on top of the world, so going to the highest point of Melbourne is as close to that. I remembered being so amazed at how small the world was from that height, of watching the tiny cars and even tinier people and it was quite hypnotising. This time, I focused more on the buildings and pointing out the different landmarks to my friend, but still feeling that same sense of awe.
We had a truly great time, as there were sitting areas where we just chatted and hung out while looking at this lovely view:
