All is not as it seems

On the second day of our holiday we had walked and walked all over the city and seen all we could including shopping in the big stores and felt as if we were intrepid explorers by this time. The Comedy Festival was on in Melbourne and my friend saw a photo of a comedian she knew and we decided on her recommendation we would go and hear him. That evening we caught a tram to our destination which was out of the city and far from where we were staying. I must mention the trams. At first when we caught a tram we wondered why we were unable to speak to the Driver who was locked away behind glass and would tell us to just say sit down and I'll let you know when we arrive. He never wanted our money. Then we discovered there was a free route around the city and when we travelled out of the city we needed to buy a MyKi card which is topped up periodically and is now the only means of paying our fare on public transport. When we arrived it was a lovely warm evening so we sat outside one of the many many eating places and enjoyed a meal before finding our way to the Theatre. When we arrived we met the Entertainer we had come to hear. He said he was a bit late and would come and let us know when it was time to start. I was rather perplexed about him coming to find his audience when he was ready. Soon I realized why he would come and find us He came and led us down some stairs to a room that was done up to appear like a cave. We looked around for a seat and found there were just one other couple and us. We were the audience. The Comedian was quite good and told us this was his first sojourn out of New Zealand. My friend whispered to me, 'this isn't the guy we were meant to hear. I had kind of come to that conclusion myself. Anyhow we had an enjoyable evening and decided that whatever we did was an adventure and we were going to enjoy every experience and we did.
