Melbourne

I spent a whole 3 days in Melbourne and had alot of fun. I only realised half way through that you must trams everywhere. (its pretty cheap) as my feet were killing me.

I also forgot my camera cord ($40) and missed the first flight down to VIC ($110). Flight 2!!!! ive heard of bus 2, dock 2, table 2 but never flight 2. It's always flight 577 or soemthing like that. So we went to go on flight 744. which was the plane number. Why the plane number was on my ticket i have no idea. Why we had to go to international terminal, when we were only going on a 1 hr flight is also beyond me.

A few points i noticed at Melbourne
1: its cold
2: people are nicer
3: there are many great buildings but none famous like the Sydney harbour or Bridge
4: The Melbourne Comedy Festival is popular
5: They have a free tram!!!
6: Public transport is cheaper (5.70 for a day pass compared to 13.40 in Sydney)
7: Melbourne also have a Luna Park!!?!?!
8: Not many places sell Potato Wedges but many sell Potato skins!!??
9: It's a lot cleaner with more bins in the city that arent over flowing
10: The airport is far form the city in the middle of nowhere

Thats all. I enjoyed my stay
