7:30am -
This has to be the earliest I’ve woken up since leaving Perth but it was all
for a good reason and that reason was breakfast (and to see Valerie)! Valerie’s
flight back to Sydney was at midday so we arranged to meet at 8:30. Eventually
I found the right Crown hotel entrance (why make a hotel so big?!) and we were
on our way. We only walked around the
corner to one of the restaurants on the southbank, it was a pretty chilly start
to the day but it soon brightened up. After a lovely catch up it was time to
say goodbye but I shall be staying with Valerie when I’m in Sydney in March so
it’s only bye for now.
I walked
back to Flinders Street where I jumped on the free tram to Queens Street to
make my way to the Queen Victoria Market. This market runs 4 days a week and
sells pretty much everything; fruit, vegetables, clothes, souvenirs etc. Shruthi
had said about going to this market so she came and met me. When the market
started to close, this is when it really came alive! People snatching up every
last bargain they could and fruit being sold by the boxes for just a dollar or
two. Absolute mayhem!
We still
had quite a bit of the day left and we weren’t quite sure how to spend it. We
had mentioned about going to the cinema before so we looked at what was on
around us. The Wolf of Wall Street is the film of the moment so we decided to
go and check that out at the Holgs cinema in Melbourne central. Although it was
quite a long film (3 hours to be exact!) I’m not quite sure what to make of it,
the whole thing was pretty crazy really.
