"Where in the World is....."

 

Location #5 Melbourne, Australia

      Twice Dr. and Mrs Novak have visited Australia.  Dr. Novak's favorite city in Australia is Melbourne.  I can understand why.  It is a beautiful city with plenty to do and see.  The city has lovely gardens to visit and plenty of shopping. 
       BUT it does have a very unusual car driving rule and is I think the ONLY city in the world to have this rule.... In Australia, people drive on the left hand side of the road (opposite to what we drive on).  It takes you a little bit to get used to this. Mrs. Novak is the one that always drive.  In Melbourne, you have to take your car into the far right hand lane to make a left turn.  I find this really confusing and I am NOT fond of driving in Melbourne.  I guess that is WHY Melbourne is not my favorite city.  Adelaide in South Australia is my favorite city.  THEY don't have this silly rule.
