Shopping in Melbourne !!!

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.

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.
