My Trip to Melbourne (Pics)
Had some business to attend to , but I took a few pics along the way , I figure some of you guys haven’t been and might want to see what it’s like
Steve's home turf I was going to PM him but it was spur of the moment I’ve been wearing the YG sub quite a bit lately , might take Pam with me this time :D Here we are , express boarding passes in hand 737 today , workhorse of the skies , 800 something kms , shouldn’t take much more than an hour ! |

After a short flight , we land a-ok with bit of turbulence on the way down.
Driver picks us up and we’re off to the hotel in the cbd , from the airport its like 1/2 drive to get to town. Melbourne looks like Sydney , but had trams running through the city’s centre A lot of historic buildings , but not many sky scrapers like syd , still nice! A lot of cool little Lane ways with restaurants & cafes on either side and sitting areas in the middle like a strip I should get a coffee before heading to the hotel |

I lived and worked in Melbourne for time about 10 years ago. I loved it.
It's a great city to live in. I still have many great friends that I met there. I hope you enjoyed it.
