Melbourne

Sunday 28th October - Sunday 4th November

We arrived really early in the morning in Melbourne and my cousin kindly came and picked us up. It was bloody miserable weather most of the time we were there so we spent quite a lot of time just hibernating in my aunt's flat, where we enjoyed spreading out in our own space and cooking our own meals etc.
I spent most of my time catching up with my cousins, but the few times we ventured out as tourists, we visited Federation Square in the centre of town and caught the free tram (another known as "The Tight-arse Tram" around town. We also went to the botanical gardens and did a bit of shopping and went swimming. Not exactly a fast-paced week but it was nice just to sleep in the same bed for a week and not have to do anything in particular.
I really like the feel of Melbourne. It has a cosmopolitan, yet cosy vibe to it.
