St. Kilda

The girls while waiting for the tram that would take us to St. Kilda. Melbourne's famous beach.

And what a tram it was! People from Amsterdam will recognise it. It's a Siemens "Combino". Most seats are comfortable but because the wheels are stuck to the chassis (as opposed to using a bogie(draaistel)) it can get a little rough when going around the corner.

The front carriage from the inside. Exactly the same but mirrorred.

Acland street in St. Kilda. Known for it's....

Cake shops!

It's a famous beach but the beach is actually really small.

People were kite surfing.

After St. Kilda we went to another part of Melbourne. In Brunswick street we found a place to have lunch. It was a bit of a guess but the salmon was really nice. It came with spinach and green beans.

That's it from the outside.

Old building in a side street.

After a rest in our hotel we went for a walk around the hood. We didn't know we were this close to China town.

As a bonus we found a Wagamama. Can't just walk past. Just can't. Have to go in. It was a very cute one though. Very small with only one long table and a few smaller ones. The chicken katsu curry was fantastic though.
