Melbourne

Melbourne...it wasn't one of our favorite cities which was a disappointment.We heard good reviews of the city, but we were not too impressed.The city seemed like alot of other European cities,however it lack the spunk. There seemed to be something missing. Also it was so cold and windy which we Arizana girls dont do well with. However do not always take our word for it because I think we are the only people in this country who do not love Melbourne. Maybe it was us. Anyways in Melbourne we enjoyed their flea market, Victoria Market, which there you could buy clothes, maps,food and anything your heart desires for cheap. The catch...its all about 3 years old so its a give and take. We then took a cruise on the Yarra River which had two major differences.One side was very country more feel and the other side is all industrial where alot of their shipping happens. We later walked around the city and then watch a comedy show at our hostel. It was really funny espically when one of the comedians started talking about his hispanic mother(so true what he was saying...sorry Mrs. Konopken/mom. We later went out to St. Kilda, but it was sadly dead for it was a Sunday. The next day we went to the Rialto tower to see the whole city and it seemed while we were up there, the temp dropped 30 degrees and started to become windy...We didnt have sweatshirts because in our mind its still SUMMER!!! It later warmed uo but not alot so it wasn't the best situation. We walked around the city some more, but it really cold for us in our tank tops so we went back to the hostel and then to the airport to Brisbane...Its good to be back!
