First proper day in Melbourne and the sun is shining Yayy :) had a few things to sort out in the morn before I met a friend to do some sightseeing.
Melbourne have a free sightseeing bus and tram and u can get on and off. Perfect way to see it :). We headed for the queen Victoria Market first. Not far from the hostel it was easy enough to find :) the Market had loads of stuff clothes, shoes, bags, souvenirs etc. It's huge and time can get away with u! Bought a few things n then headed for some lunch. We discovered this underground food court which has so much stuff. Was so cool!! On the way out spotted this place called max brennans. Was a chocolate coffee shop kinda place. Had so much yummy choc stuff. Was so tempted but so full. Anyone in Melbourne pls try and let me know how it is....
After lunch was the Melbourne jail. Was actually called the old Melbourne goal. This was where I got arrested lol. They treat you like a prisoner as soon as u enter. We got cards telling us our names n what we were there for. My name was Minh and I'd played a bomb hoax!! There were 10-15 of us and the sergeant kept picking on me :(. I got questioned and had my photo taken n all sorts. I couldn't keep a straight face n kept giggling so I got told off lol. Was def a good laugh!! The jail itself was pretty cool too :)
We then got a the tourist shuttle and went around the city. Didn't really have time to get out and see things properly so kinda saw them from a distance. We saw parliament house, federation square, lots of different gardens, shopping streets, museums and lots more.
Once we'd been around the city we headed to St kilda where the beach is and lots of bars n restaurants. There are some amazing cake shops there. One after the other. We actually had to toss a coin to decide where to go lol. Got some cake and watched the sunset over the beach. Nice way to spend a eve in Melbourne. Wanted to go to the Luna park to but it was shut :(
Got the tram back to the hostel n chilled with a nice drink n some food. The shops tend to shut earlier then the signs say so be warned if u go there hehe.
