Adventures in Shopping

Having explored east of the Hyatt on our arrival, I got around to checking the western direction this afternoon, and stumbled upon a convenience store and outlet mall REALLY close by, the latter of which has a food court (which apparently closes at 6).

Got my mobility scooter this morning. The woman from the Melbourne mobility centre was incredibly helpful and nice.
