☁️ Good morning from Melbourne! It's gloomy today, but I'm excited to explore the CBD area. I plan to do some shopping and enjoy Melbourne's famous coffee. Starting my day at the Yarra River, which runs through the city.
❄️ It's very cold this winter, and I'm glad I brought my puffer jacket. The South Bank and North Bank of the river are both beautiful, and I’ll be walking along the North Bank.
🚋 Melbourne has a huge tram network, and it's free in the city center. I plan to hop on one later. My first coffee stop is Duke Coffee Roasters, a popular spot.
🍞 I grabbed a quick bite at a place called B3. The bread is fresh and soft, which is a nice change! I also visited a free exhibition comparing TVs from different decades.
📸 I found the famous Flinders Street photo booth and got a cute photo for $8. Next, I ordered a takeaway latte with oat milk from another coffee shop.
🛍️ The CBD is set up in a grid, making it easy to navigate. I’m heading to Burke Street Mall for shopping. I needed another coffee to power through my afternoon crash!
🍽️ For dinner, I’m trying a popular spot called Hoi Mama on my own. I’ll be having kingfish sashimi and Southside panang curry.
🌞 Good morning! It’s Day 2, and I’m exploring some outer city suburbs with a friend. We’re heading to Carlton, Fitzroy, and Collingwood, all within walking distance.
☕️ We stopped at Good Measure for a unique Mont Blanc coffee, which was amazing! The weather is unpredictable, sunny one moment and raining the next.
📚 We visited the beautiful State Library and learned about Melbourne's unique hook turn traffic rule.
🎨 Fitzroy is known for its vibrant graffiti, adding character to the city. We’re now in Collingwood, heading to lunch at a place called Easy's, located in a train!
🛋️ I found my dream furniture shop! After a quick nap, we’re going out for dinner at Peppers, an Italian restaurant.
🌅 Good morning! It’s my last day in Melbourne. I’m back in Fitzroy for thrift shopping and visiting a popular café called Loon.
🥐 Loon has a great vibe, and I loved watching them make croissants. They offer unique flavors, including a Vegemite option!
✈️ It’s been a fun trip, but I’m ready to head home. Thanks for following along!
