This is the first time we are absolutely ready to move on. Unfortunately Australia in general did not meet our expectations. It really is just too much like California at almost double the cost. Sydney = LA and Melbourne = San Francisco, both + a little wrongness and odder rowdy attitude. We will give credit where it is due though. It is pretty here, both landscape and a disproportionately people wise, and we have had excellent food and drink. But seriously for anyone considering spending the time and money to get here from the states, we just didn't find anything overwhelming different or interesting enough to make it a destination.
We close here with some random shots of our last couple days. Looking forward to our first time on Thai Airways in their Royal Silk Class of service getting to Thailand.
Enjoying Coffee shop and Sweets (Lots of opportunities here for this)
One of our many feasts of delicious food
Lily Black's bar (largest collection of working bitters in the world they claim). There are a bunch of these old school prohibition era bars in Melbourne and all quite good with varying ambiances.
Fairly cool architecture in Melbourne in general, almost Berlin like with old meets new.
We just had to photo op this. One of our favorite cult YouTube videos from the Metro authority here has a billboard with the characters. They really must have had a large amount of train related deaths here. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIJNR2EpS0jw&h=HAQHnUDlY
