retro [MELB: the end]

So here are the last photos from my splendid trip to melbourne.

Brunswick St


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!

I have some photos from my snow weekend away and photos from during the week to show you too. Most of them don't feature me because I've been sick and couldn't show my washed-out, bags-under-my-eyes face!

Luckily I'm getting better now because today is my birthday. Yay for me right? I'm saying goodbye to my teenage years (tear) and becoming an actual person. Or is that when you turn twenty one? Oh well

    I agree with you on Melbourne, I loved it but as you said the shopping opportunities weren't that great. I think I just expected more.

    Melb's weather has been very bitchy!!one minute sunny and the other minute pouring =_=, That's probably why you didn't get to see nice stuff at Camberwell~

    So are you turing twenty this year???I was in denial and kept telling myself "I am twenteen" when i turned twenty,lol~

    Have a super lovely day!

  6. Happy birthday!
    That 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!

  11. happy birthday girl! :)
    yeaahh that's so true that heaps of things are closed on sundays..it's quite bewildering, melbourne being the shopping capital?! (maybe not, but that's what i thought anyway)
    mmm macarons! <3

  17. Melbourne is such a fabulous place. I love finding all the back alley shops and fantastic places to eat.

  18. aww i love your blog, it's lovely.
    i'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.
