Day 2 started with a visit to Queen Victoria Market, the guidebook calls it "the mother of all markets" haha pretty funny. Anyway they sell everything from knick-knacks to clothes to fresh meat to flowers to boomerangs.
 |
| The entrance! |
 |
| Cleanest markets |
 |
| The market is huge!!! |
 |
| Fresh produce |
 |
| Nice stall! |
 |
| Nikki was really amused by this haha Try to figure out what each one says! |
 |
| Got one custom-made for Alex. I kinda got it also cause I just wanted to see how the guy did it on the spot |
After about 2 hours of walking around and buying souvenirs, Nikki and I walked back to Degraves Street to find a good place for lunch. But technically we ate breakfast for lunch. Or lunch for breakfast. Depends on how you see it, we actually spent a while just discussing this...
 |
| Cappuccino! |
 |
| OMGGGGG My ideal breakfast ANY DAY. Toast, hash brown, scrambled eggs, spinach, mushrooms, grilled tomato (must have), onions, bacon, chipolata |
 |
| Nikki's pancakes with bacon and eggs :) |
 |
| Cupcake bakery :) |
 |
| A red velvet and a choc vanilla. The red velvet was amazing! |
 |
| I don't really like this pic cause I'm just holding it really weirdly... |
After that we shopped around the city again, going to all the places/shops we missed out and back to Lygon for dinner again hahaha
 |
| I don't know why I wore that hoodie with that tee shirt.. |
 |
| Anyway, my lasagna! |
 |
| At Koko Black for hot chocolate. |
 |
| It really is a nice shop selling chocolates and coffee and drinks and desserts ;) |
 |
| The best cup of hot chocolate I have ever tasted. I'm not exaggerating!! Thanks Kevin for the recommendation!!! :) |
 |
| At some bridge on the way to Crown Casino |
After this, I didn't take anymore pics of Day 2! Anyway that night, Nikki and I went to Crown Casino. It was eye-opening, the first time I ever entered a casino. It's free admission! We played on those slot machines? I don't know what you call them, but you just insert a bill (we kept using fives) and keep pressing a button and the game will just go and go and go... Till you want to cash out or till you run out of money (in my case, TWICE).
Nikki's friends, who were on a road trip, came halfway and tried Blackjack and Roulette, and they won! It was just exciting watching them. I didn't really dare play haha we got back to our hotel around 2am and slept at 3am.. Longest day of the trip, but it was fun :)
