Arrived yesterday evening to the cultural city of Melbourne. Staying in a bit of nasty hostel but it will do! Did some sightseeing today taking the free tram around the centre. Went to Queen Victoria market which was a mix of Oxford' s posh covered market and Camden! Checked out the Yarra river, Captain cooks cottage, Fitzroy gardens, Chinatown and Melbourne Museum which was free to get in to for us cheapskate students! Was really interesting to learn about the Melbourne's history and the aboriginals. Also they had a section on Neighbours! haha number 26's kitchen was there and they had scripts and a timeline of all the characters and where they lived! Then went to a lovely little cafe for dinner and had some yummy pasta. Dining alone was an interesting experience but the place was busy and I think the waiter took pity on me! The evening was spent packing for my 3 day tour!
