Hotel : Ibis Budget Melbourne
Day1
It was quite disappointing that our flight delayed for 3 hours, we supposed to touched down early in the morning, and the worst part - raining during day 1 :(
- Arriving in Melbourne International Airport
- Bought a sim card
- We choose the cheapest one AUD2/perday with unlimited calls and a sufficient amout of data; enough for both of us to catch Pokemon and browse google map
- Took Sky Bus to Ibis Budget Melbourne - AUD19/perpax
- The driver informed us where to alight, and show us which direction to walk to the hotel. The location of this hotel is very centralize, walking distance to most of the attraction places and there is a free tram service right in front of the hotel.
- We walked under the rain to Flinders Station, St Paul Cathedral, ACMI
- Dinner at Lygon Street (Little Italy) in a restaurant named Criniti's
- We tried their Steak, Pizza and Pasta. The portion is larger, comparing it with Singapore and honestly it really taste much better here :p
- After dinner we had dessert - Frozen Yogurt; it is located next to Criniti's
- Evening walk along Yarra River
- Nice to walk under such cooling weather
- Back to the hotel and sleep
