On the last day we woke up and walked down to flinders station. It was a sunday morning and the city was dead! It was crazy because it was already 10am and i think i saw 2 people on the streets apart from people working in the shops. (by the way melbourne your trains are confusing! we ended up doing a city circle tour by accident.)
Eventually we caught the train to camberwell (markets). It must have been a bad day at camberwell or something but I was a little disappointed. There were lots of people there but most of the stalls were pretty empty and i didn't even get anything. After about half an hour we just left and did some more shopping in the city.
Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing melbourne (because the trip was excellent and I loved the city vibe and the amazing old buildings and arty structures) but I didn't find many shopping opportunities.
We had more fun just walking around and stopping to eat whenever we could!
Some of our buys (jam from Meet me at mikes, stone book ends, wax seal and macaroons!)
Happy birthday! i hope you have a great day.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about Camberwell...I had such an amazing time when I visited there. And I agree about Melbourne being deserted on weekend mornings - it was so frustrating for me when all I wanted to do was shop and so many places on Chapel St were still closed at 10am!
i love that photo of you! u look gorgeous! :)

ReplyDeletei want to go on a dinner date with you,you seem to eat at the best places EVER
ReplyDeleteMelbourne is such a fabulous place. I love finding all the back alley shops and fantastic places to eat.
ReplyDeleteYou look ridiculously cute in that picture at The Mill =]
aww i love your blog, it's lovely.
ReplyDeletei'm from melbourne, and i think you didn't find anything at camberwell because it opens rather early, at around 7am. and people tend to go early and snap up all the good stuff.
