Melbourne city scape from our apartment |
Still tough getting up at an appropriate time as we still seem to be on South African time. Eventually did get up and moving into the city centre. Parking is a bit of an issue as parking downtown is $50 minimum, but we were able to find some more reasonable parking areas. Even the donuts are $7 each, or $25 for a four pack of donuts. Needless to say, the boys did not get any donuts.
We did a walking tour which are highly recommended. The tour is free and the guides request a gratuity at the end. Our tour was about three hours and was excellent. We highly recommend these tours, and they are gaining popularity around the world, as we did one in Brussels as well.
The street art in Melbourne is very interesting. It is legal and constantly evolving. Poor art is quickly painted over, while better art will have a longer lifespan - maybe two or three weeks. Show up in a month, and the street will look totally different.
