Melbourne

Bangkok Airport

We arrived on time at Gate E9 and had enough time not to stress in order to walk to the security check and back to Gate E7. As it was early in the morning there was almost no other travelers, which meant no cue at the security check. We had some time to spear and used it in the lounge.

After roughing it out at  business class, from BKK to MEL, (just kidding) Thai Airways Business Class or Royal Silk Class as it is called is highly recommendable, we arrived at Melbourne Airport at 21:20 PM

Now we finally are here.


Immigration, baggage claim, transport to the went without any complications.

Next day we were up and in the streets of Melbourne at 8:00AM, which was much to early. Nothing goes on before 10:00AM, but we managed to get breakfast at one of the numerous diners.

Tourist Tram

First we went to a mall called Central Station to do some shopping. Using the Tourist Tram we then aimed for Federation Square  to get lunch. While eating we could see at a big screen that Caroline won her match and is ready for next round. YES.

Federation Square

After a short visit the National Gallery we walked to the near by Botanic garden.

Entry at the National Gallery

While walking around we saw some people preparing for what looked like a wedding. Shortly after an older couple came and asked directions for a wedding and I of cause gave direction to the place we had just seen. Later on I discovered that out door weddings are quite popular as we saw yet another wedding, realizing I properly had given the couple direction to the wrong wedding.
