Hi guys!
So recently my friend and I spontaneously decided to embark on an adventure to the great city of Melbourne! We went for 3 nights and 4 days, stayed in a cheap backpackers hotel called the Space Hotel - which I extremely recommend if you're ever staying in Melbourne as it's located in heart of Melbourne CBD and you get great quality for cheap prices. Anyway, during the 4 days we were there we did some major shopping in places like the CDB, Bridge St and Chapel St- and of course making a cheeky visit to Top Shop as well. We also stopped of at the famous Queen Victoria Markets, they were amazing, full of fresh produce which was all incredibly cheap! As we only had 3 nights there our dinner choices were very important, on our first night we went to a Tame Impala gig, which was beyond amazing- if you've never heard of them they are an Australian band well known for their psychedelic rock, click here to hear them! Anyway because we had that on Friday night we were a bit short of time and didn't really know our way around the big city yet, however we stumbled across this cute little Indian restaurant and had a delicious mixed plate of curries, rice and nann bread! On Saturday night, with more time up our sleeves we decided to take ourselfs through the bustling China Town, we came across a busy restaurant with a line out the front, so we joined the line because we thought it would be good, and it was good, so good! We ordered a shredded pancake, san choy bow and vegetable steamed dim sims, everything was delicious and it was such a great price- really sorry but I cannot remember the name of this restaurant! On our third and final night we went to 'Little Italy' in Melbourne's Lygon St, full of great traditional Italian restaurants, this place was really like Italy! We were lucky enough to receive a complimentary drink and garlic bread thanks to the man that persuaded us to eat at his restaurant. After 4 long days of walking everywhere, eating a ridiculas amount of food and spending all our money we set off on our journey home back to Brisbane dreading going back to our normal lives of work and university. However we had such a great time and can't wait to visit Melbourne again! Here are a few pictures we took.
