Excuse us if we have a little abandoned blog these days but we had a hint of depression, post-trip ...
Melbourne, Tuesday, 20/10/2009
During several hours of flight, between a half and the other, we often read of a great and ancient markets are held in Melbourne, so we went on the Internet and we are informed.
This large market has about 600 exhibitors, selling everything from fruit to souvenirs, from wine to ... sexy outfits, plus a food court and a few bars, the only problem is that it closes early, at 14, but we are organized and we have set your alarm at 7am and we left for a wild day of shopping! When we arrived
merchants were still setting up the stalls and then We have made a turn and we took a coffee Romolo's Cafe, a bar in the market, managed by Mr. Romulus airport, who has prepared his special coffee, honey, we must admit that it was not bad, and then we We set about finding an ATM to get a little 'money. "
After a few hours of shopping we have thrown in the food court where we have been eating Indian food, not bad, and then we returned to the search for a working cash because the money had ended up in the morning and the various banks in the area of \u200b\u200bthe market there were retrieval. When
then finally we found it we went back into the market and we ate a sort of cannelloni greek accompanied by Coopers beer (a beer from Melbourne).
After a few more 'shopping we left the hotel to go and put all the envelopes with our purchases.
Around 6 we connected to the Internet in the mythical Federation Square and from there we updated the blog!
Then we walked towards the Carlton district, which is a typical area of \u200b\u200bMelbourne, mainly inhabited by Italians, who manage the myriad of Italian restaurants in Lygon Street (main street).
After a parade of restaurants, we chose to dine Papa Gino's, here we had a pizza as an appetizer, a "scafarea" of noodles with meat sauce and a meat dish with tomato, all wet from the great Shiraz - Cabernet wineries "Penfolds" (very good!).
After dinner, we made two cups of coffee cake and a frog in a nearby bar and then we walked into the hotel.
Arrived at the hotel we went immediately to sleep, because tomorrow we should have to wake up early to go do the tour on the Great Ocean Road.
