Greetings, friends, I have returned from my trip! We did loads of great things in Melbourne, which has to be my favourite city I’ve ever been to. It’s a beautiful city full of lovely people, amazing buildings, artiness and shopping! Because we shopped. We shopped a lot. (LOOK AT MY HAT.) One day we shopped on Bridge Rd and then went to the State Library… to see an exhibition on shopping. We also went to the ballet, which was quite exciting. I even enjoyed the travelling time; the trips there and back were quite an experience for me as I’d not been on a plane since I was a wee girl. And my affection for the Melbourne public transport system is no secret.
I love the gardens there; check out this mini Tudor village from Fitzroy Gardens! The famous fairy tree, featuring carvings of fairies and such, is in the background.
We also went up the highest viewing platform in the Southern Hemisphere and looked down at the whole city! At Federation Square…
… and all the way out to the ocean.
But one of the things I enjoyed best about Melbourne was the food.
As glad as I am to be back in my own space, I already miss exploring gorgeous Melbourne.
Those strawberry tarts… I want one!
They were AMAZING.
I approve of delicious-looking food, admire your hat (as I told you), and am glad you had such a great time!
One day, one day I will visit cool places in the southern hemisphere. Or you know, that are outside of North America in general.
:D
Hooray! As a Melburnian it gives me great pleasure that you visited and enjoyed our city.
Hooray indeed!
Come back soon!
What Destructor said!
Speaking of destruction: Fed Square really does look like a bomb site in aerial view. People looking in horror, it makes more sense closer up, honest!
I love the curved walking spaces with earth toned cobbles as they evoke the Australian arid landscape for me, but I can’t help thinking they’re pretty disability unfriendly. What do you think Chally?
I agree. It’s beautiful, but I have balance issues (not related to my disability, just related to… not being good at balancing :P) and I found walking around the square a bit difficult. I imagine that people using canes or chairs, for instance, would have difficulties making their way across the square, too.
I live in Melbourne and can I just say I’m glad you had such a great time and loved my city so much :) (I love it a lot too!)
