Day 10 to 14 - Melbourne

Our tenth day in Australia began with a walk to explore the city of Melbourne.

Melbourne

We started at our hotel and went to the Degraves
Street, which is a spot with many restaurants and lovely cafes. Walking through this streets reminds us a little bit of staying in an european city e.g. Brussels. If you are in Melbourne watch out for this street, it is a nice place to visit.
On the next day we discovered China Town which is full of restaurants from every asian flavour. We had our lunch for this day in a Korean restaurant.
After we've finished Gerd was looking for a battery for his watch (he is doing that since we are in Australia), but without sucess - which is more a problem of Gerd than of the shops. Most of the time Gerd forgot the watch or he forgot to buy the battery.

Crown Casino

The evening ended with a visit in the Crown Casino, which is one of the largest casinos in the world with more than 2000 poker machines and 350 table games.  We didn't spend any money in the casino but Gerd is now Signature Club Member of the Crown Club and got 5 australian dollar as a gift.

Rooftop of our Hotel

Melbourne is a city with a lot of shops, small restaurants and cafes. So we enjoyed our remaining days in Melbourne with walking through the streets and especially we enjoyed our hotel which had a whirlpool at the rooftop. At hungry jacks (Burger King) we tried the summer special - a burger, small fries and FROZEN COKE for only $ 3,95. We must say: Never again frozen coke.
On saturday we catched our camper  for the journey from Melbourne to Sydney, it is very old and basic...

We will share our experience with the "new" camper in the next days here in our blog.
