DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) at Spencer Street

It was a lovely day on Sunday so we decided to drive to the Heidelberg train station and catch the train into the city to check out the DFO at Spencer Street. The train fare on a Sunday is very good at $3.10. The trip was very relaxed.

Walking around the station reminds us of travelling. Since we hadn't been to the DFO at Spencer Street station before, it was like an  adventure. Before checking out the stores we decided to have a bite to eat. I ordered the Tuna patty and my wife ordered the Cheese and Ham Croissant from Rojo Cafe . We also purchased a diet coke and they gave us two glasses. Unfortunately my knife wasn't clean and my glass had scum in it so the drink had to be thrown out.

As we strolled checking out the shops we found a number of items which interested us. I purchased a pair of jeans. I've lost weight and having gone from a size 38 to a 34 it felt good to have a pair of jeans that wasn't baggy and the best part is they only cost around $25. My wife bought some shirts. One was knocked down to $9. OK, a button fell off later, but that's easily fixed. Our best bargain was a 32cm glass lid for our wok at $12.98. Can't complain with that price.

With our shopping trip over it was back onto the train and back home. Overall a very pleasant adventure on a Sunday afternoon.
