Melbourne (Day 49 | 2014-10-15)

Last night, we went out looking for dinner after the bus returned around 11pm. Unfortunately, most restaurants were closed (either because it was Monday or because it was late). Luckily, we stumbled upon a Pie Face that was open until at least midnight, so we stuffed our faces with meat pies and fruit pies.

We woke up this morning around 11am and went back to yesterday’s schnitzel place for breakfast. Our plan for the day was to take the free City Circle tourist tram around the city and see the sights. After taking the tram around half the city, we got off near Flinders Street Station and walked to the trendy Federation Square. We continued in that direction for a while toward the Memorial Shrine, stopping to take a picture with a statue of Sir “Weary” Dunlop. By the time we made it to the Botanic Garden, the visitors’ centre was closed, so we just wandered around the gardens for about an hour before heading back to the Central Business District (CBD). Unfortunately, the free tram stopped running at 6pm, so we walked up the hill to find some dinner and return to our hotel.
