Melbourne 15th and 16th April

Two days in Melbourne taking in the sights, the sun continued to shine and it was more like summer than autumn.

Our Hotel was centrally based on Bourke street with a tram stop just outside.  The Queen Victoria Market, the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere, was a short tram ride, a lot of stalls with merchandise you would see all over the world with a smattering of local crafts/produce. 

The congestion and general pace of Melbourne took some getting used to after two weeks in less hectic Tasmania, lots of tourists with selfie sticks.  A trip around the Botanic Gardens was calming as were long lunches and dinner at Italian restraint ‘Emilia’ just off Little Collins street.
