Let's talk about my trip to Melbourne, that other city that you've heard of in Australia!
How better to get the feel for a city in a very short time than to just wander around on foot and on the free city tram? Saturday and Sunday morning on our long weekend trip to the south involved a paper map, a guide book, a rain jacket and a camera.
Here were some of our stops...
China town for dumplings.
This was the free tram with equipped with an awesome tour guide.
Street Art.
Federation Square.
Flinder' Street Station, meet me under the clocks!
Little Cafe alley.
Bubbled reindeer at the art gallery.
Sunny Sunday morning in St. Kilda.
Melbourne Skyline.
High atop the Shrine of Remembrance looking onto the city (and botanic gardens).
Happy to have visited this other well-known city which did have a more European feel, as I was warned.
I do have to say that I still prefer Sydney (despite Melbourne's easily navigable N-S E-W street set-up) although a day and a half of exploring probably wasn't enough to give me a true feel. I will just have to visit again!
