Hamilton Island - Melbourne 19/10/2009
We woke up at 8 to go to breakfast before you leave your bags and leave the boys and loaded on vans for the airport.
The breakfast was very light, however, a bit 'of milk and cereal and a little' fruit!
We waited a bit 'that led the shuttle to the airport, where after the formalities of the cheek-in we got on the plane that took us to Melbourne.
When we arrived at Hamilton Island we were a bit 'scared by the fact that it was a goal too soft for us, where we would be bored, however, when we began to exploit the various pools, beaches, trails and other activities the island has changed our conception of the island and we are left to relax ... and a little 'sorry we have left it.
We left Hamilton Island was the ch 11: 05 AM and arrived in Melbourne at 15 and 30, here we took a bus to the center, we have made great off the bus and then, with the same ticket, another minibus led us to the hotel.
We are not more than 5 minutes left in the room and immediately threw ourselves headlong through the streets of Melbourne.
First we visited Federation Square, a futuristic place, where you raise a glass and steel structures, and other strange shapes as the large rocks and blocks, is a strong contrast between these structures and other "modern" in Melbourne, with the buildings of the British. After
Federation Square we walked the streets of downtown where we wandered up to the university area, being able to admire the unique architecture of the buildings of the university.
After this tour we decided to climb to the top of the "Eurika Tower, a skyscraper of 300 meters and 88 floors, all exterior glass and a square with the peak in gold, is presented as the tallest skyscraper Southern Hemisphere, but does something from outside, climb up to 88 floor with an elevator that is 9 m per second and then you can enjoy a 360 degree view over the city, mostly at sunset, it is even more, really charming, beautiful and "Vertigo."
back with feet on the ground we walked on the banks of the river (Yarra River), looking at the casino, theater, etc.. Then we went to the Docklands, which should be the part where there was once an old trading port that is now a place where there are yacht chic restaurants and even high-level football stadium.
Then we walked to the hotel as we were really tired, having made several km.
Hello everyone ...
Anto and Cris!
