Trip to Melbourne in Australia

I visited Melbourne last week.
This was a spontaneous trip and super short days but had so much fun there.

First day in Melbourne, after I checked in my hotel, this was comfortable to stay, I went to South Melbourne Market.

South Melbourne Market is easy to access from CBD (center of Melbourne), we can use tram. Take #96 tram, get off at #127 stop. Walk up some steps from the tram station for 1 minute.



I love local market. I can enjoy shopping as I live there. Watching veggies, fruits, meat or fish section, excites me because I can feel to be adapted to local life.

       

The best one in this market is oysters. We can buy even one piece or dozens, and we can eat here!  When I asked a salesperson about kinds of oysters, prices or taste, she told me very kind. After I got 6 pieces of oysters, of course for eating here, there are ketchup, lemon, sauce on the counter, so many people enjoy eating fresh raw oysters.  I chose middle size, salty and creamy for 3 each. This is in heaven!!

      

Absolutely I was satisfied with oysters, but I was so hungry this time because last time I ate was on flight, so his was not enough. I walked around to eat lunch more.




I ordered pork bánh mì. I love Vietnamese food.
This is a kind of sandwich which is vegetable, meat, patty, herbs and fish oil etc. with soft baguette.
I knew it was too large but finally I ate it. I was full and I got energy.

I explored in the market, probably twice, enjoyed a lot. There are many local shops which is for food, goods from Australia. I think this is the best place to buy souvenirs for travelers.

When I left South Melbourne Market, I come back to CBD by tram.
I still have much time to walk around the city during the day.



This is Flinders Street Station, Very historical classical building.



There are many small allies. Walking on these allies, I can find many cafes I want to stop by.


  

I stopped by Crumpler to look around the Australian made casual bag.
Fashionable and comfortable to use, I love it. Cute logo mark!

I came back my hotel, a little bit early because I was tired and was probably going out in the evening again.

My hotel is booked with Expedia. I was trying to use airbnb, but I didn't. Too late to get the answer for my requests. I didn't enough time to wait. Airbnb is reasonable but when I am hurry, it is not convenient.

I stayed very comfortable here. If I come to Melbourne again, I want again.
Actually, I guess it is convenient anywhere in CBD. Melbourne is easy to access to anywhere. We can walk in CBD, go to supermarket, cafe, and use tram which is very useful.
