Melbourne First Day!

After the whole Tiger airlines scare, Nikki got her ticket to Melbourne just one day before we left Sydney! Anyway it was a 9am flight so we had to get up real early to take a train to the airport. But we made it, wow and we reached Melbourne close to noon cause the flight was delayed anyway.. Air traffic.

When we landed, we took the Skybus into the city and then a little bus to our hostel, Space Hotel! It was at a good location, so we kinda walked everywhere, almost.

Our room - an odd shape cause it was at the end of a corridor
Some panoramic view, cause it was an odd shaped room
My side of the room.
It was actually a good place to stay, clean and tidy
After we checked in, we quickly went to find something to eat, cause we were just starving...

First meal in Melbourne. Some curry and rice, not too bad










Juls told me that this Singapore Chom Chom closed down recently cause they didn't pay their rent haha

A very pretty flower shop in the middle of a pavement




Tea at Brunetti







Horses!!



Flinders Street Station




Vintage store on Flinders



Degraves Street at night
Soup!


We basically walked around the city area and explored the streets and shops the whole afternoon. And then we went to Lygon for dinner after that :) I really wanted to try the gelato there, the one that Kevin recommended and raved about - Freddo BUT IT WAS CLOSED!

Closed for Winter Break :(
Went to Cafe Cavallino - Kevin's recommendation too

With her coke - our water in Australia
Lemon Lime Bitters






Some risotto
After dinner we were tired so we went back to sleep. Waking up at 645am in the morning is just tooooooo tiring..
