In Melbourne today. The city has a good transit system. We purchased an all day pass ($14 each) good for all of their transportation systems. We took an express bus downtown and the tram back to the ship. The city also operates a hop on hop off tourist bus that covers all the main tourist spots. The whole route is 90 minutes and costs only $5. Melbourne is quite a pretty city that combines the old and the new very well. It is clean , contains a great deal of green space and long stretches of bike and walking paths through the parks and along the riverbanks. The city has every type of sporting and arts complex near the downtown area. It has one of the largest markets (Victoria Market) we have seen anywhere, but unfortunately it was closed today (Wednesday). We will be back in Melbourne in early January on another cruise and will venture downtown again.
