Queen Victoria Market Melbourne

So Australia it is!


We're staying in Melbourne for a couple of days before flying to Tasmania. A good chance to visit the city, which we didn't when we came here few years ago. Also a chance to visit some friends we have here whom we haven't seen for quite some time now.


We headed to the city, thanks to our friends we …

Melbourne, the second largest city in Australia and rival of Sydney - both in constant measuring, who is the most beautiful city. I have the answer... keep on reading ;-)


We stayed in Melbourne as couchsurfing guests with Alan, an older men in his early 60´s. Alan lives in Fitzroy, not far from the city center and he has been living …

Today started rather warm, which made me happy. The plan was to mount up and head to St Kilda, where we would meet up with Tom (from Jake & Virva's Great Ocean Road trip), get wasted, and BBQ on the beach. To that end, I went shopping for a new pair of boardies, since I'd decided my current pair were a bit small and gay. I shopped about, trying …

After a good night's sleep, the three of us ventured back into central Melbourne to visit the Melbourne Queen Victoria Market - a huge marketplace covered by a pavilion where merchants sold souvenirs, fruits, vegetables, clothing, and the like. We spent about 3 hours here just wondering around (and spending money) and tasting the local fresh food. …

Wake up feeling so refreshed. Let's do this!

An early start as we get dropped off at the train station by Lewie on his way to work. We join Melbourne's commuter rush into the CBD and spend the morning exploring town by foot. What a fantastic city, certainly would be my favourite in Australia. We check out some local malls and I find what I …

After well and truly over indulging last night today was a detox day

We checked out the Victoria street markets again then spent the rest of the day chilling out and catching up on some Facebook.

In the evening we had dinner at my mate Mani's flat with his uber cool flatmates Alex and Sam who we will be staying with from tomorrow …

Yesterday I set out to do some of the things I've so far missed in Melbourne. For breakfast I went down to Degraves street again and had an excellent breakfast and got a chance to enjoy the "lane culture" as I've heard it called. It's basically an alleyway between two larger streets that has open air restaurants and cute little shops on each side. …

We arrived in Melbourne this morning!!! The weather here is beautiful. We're going to see the New Year through on a rooftop bar and hopefully get a great view of the fireworks.

New Year was brilliant! We watched the fireworks from the hostel rooftop and there were three main displays all from …

We were dropped at MCG. After completing the guided tour at MCG we took the Melbourne Visitor Shuttle to spend the second day in the city including lunch at KFC. Dropped in at Queen Victoria Market which was closed. Visited IMAX theater but was late for the film. Returned home taking the train to Glen Waverley …

Again on Holiday we couldn't wait, this time my sister joined us so I was there on my way to the Airport with 3 girls, a man's dream I supposed, all were related to me though, my wife, my sister and my daughter.

The flight was nice and easy, departing from Coolangatta airport this time we were arriving in Melbourne at 9am. We grabbed a …
