A relaxing Sunday Afternoon in Williamstown.

Williamstown is a small beach town in Melbourne where it attracts tourists and locals alike. There is a ferry from Southbank to Williamstown which is $15 per ride or you can catch the train like I did.  But you just have to get off at the very last stop and walk ten minutes down Thomson st til you get to Nelson place and you are there.

On every third Sunday there is a Williamstown Craft Market where you can pick locally made goods for under $20 and they have childrens toys and things. It was also relaxing to see the dogs come out and play and I loved patting some of the cutest ones in town.

We had lunch at home but we checked out this ice cream stall called Gelateria Capricho which has been in business for 20 years and they are voted the best ice creamery in Melbourne. They won numerous awards for outstanding ice cream. And they were just delish. There was one very sour looking lady but the others were darn fine.

At 2pm a lot of locals and tourists came and enjoyed their ice cream all round. They don't do samples.

Our last stop was the old Original lolly shop which reminded me of my childhood days where I used to do lucky dip. I did buy a lucky dip just for fun and nostagalia.  The lady was lovely to me but unfortunately there was no EFTPOS and it was cash only. I had wanted to buy the dutch cookies but no cash.

Oh we bought this honesty stone, to remind us bloggers to be honest throughout next year.
