We arrived to a wet and cold Melbourne (9 degree C max). Taking the cheap shuttle and being the last to be dropped off meant we had time to absorb all the new do's and don'ts that line the roads.
We went out to first have a drink and then treat ourselves to an eat in meal. Finding an ambient place to eat was tricky, most places have a dentist look and feel. However after walking many streets we managed to find somewhere. The place was packed with Ausies, however we spent the time dreaming about the food in Vanuatu, and pretty much everywhere else (not a good sign).
Early days but Melbourne has a lot more going for it than Sydney.
