Exploring Melbourne
An interesting day. Our apartment is in a new suburb, well out of the centre. After walking in a riverside park we took a tram into the city. After a coffee stop at the Victoria Market, we caught a free city centre historic tram to get our bearings. This runs through the Central Business District (CBD) and also to the regenerated dock area.
It looks picturesque but the seats were a tad uncomfortable! Also very busy, Mark was standing most of the way after giving up his seat.
We liked the docklands area....it seemed a bit deserted. Ideal for dueling with cameras!
We caught another tram into the city to explore Melbourne's famous `Lanes' but started with the Royal Arcade...very grand. Compared with the Prince Philip `look alike' Mark looks improperly dressed!
According to the guidebook and loads of young, asian tourists, Hosier Lane is `the' lane to go to...we're not so sure!
Back to base via a busy tram and a pleasant riverside walk. Lots of cyclists and dogs being walked.
