i love love love this city.
it is incredibly lovely and entertaining!
it's not everyday a girl from winnipeg can jump on a free tram that takes her on a tour around the city center...and there's actually stuff to see! and do! don't get me wrong...i love winnipeg...
yesterday derek and i woke up
had free breakfast in the hostel's pub.
(free is few and far between out here.)
vegemite is completely disgusting. toast or no toast.
but people out here go crazy for the stuff.
it's pretty much the most unhealthy thing in the world. pure LARD. barf.
then we walked up the street to the queen victoria market.
sounds like it should be on a ship.
it's not.
i did however find some yellow jeans for $20....tempting...
they had a LOT of ugg boot stalls...in every style and color.
i barfed in my mouth.
after that we got on the tram
stopped all over the place...at the pier first
took a picture of a cow up a tree
got back on and went to the Melbourne Aquarium
$24 to get in...yikes bikes.
we did however get to see the sharks and MASSIVE sting rays getting fed which was gnar-boots.
back on the tram.
walked around one of the main streets...
every single way you turn you will find a gem of a shop hidden away
or a cafe with shnitzels and meat pies.
i had shnitzel today for the first time...never knew that it was, what it was.
pretty sure we have it but call it something else.
i found a giant magazine store.
the fashion and skateboarding and artsy magazines are out of this world.
send me money and i will send you one. wink.
tram time.
we went to the crown entertainment center...
so odd.
it's a GIANT casino attached to a high end mall (there was a rolex store...weird) attached to a wicked food court attached to a theatre attached to an underground strip of asian stores attached to a 5 star hotel attached to the MOON! i'm assuming...
after we returned from the moon, we walked down by the yarra river and continued walking until we couldn't walk any more.
we got back to our pee-smelling hostel, talked to some blokes and then hit the hay.
all in all a wonderful day.
today we are going to a bunch of museums...art and the city one.
i also discovered a mall down the street...may have to go investigate.
love love love
the bird.
