Melbourne City

Melbourne is a great city, vibrant and modern and I don't expect, only being there for a day, that I even scratched the surface.
There was a mix of old and new. Federation Square was very modern although the stone of which it was made up, looked very old fashioned but it wasn't. Opposite was Flinders Street Station, an imposing Victorian building which sat comfortably in this area at the end of the shopping streets. Alongside this was the cathedral. All of this ran alongside the River Yarra, with its cafes and restaurants.
I spent little time in the hotel room, I walked alot and ate my meals in simple restuarants, finishing off in the Pancake House (not a surprise to me!) A potato and cheese pancake was in order, along with a milk shake! Having walked up and down the main areas for a while I went back to the central bus and train station, booked in for next day. Got myself some food for the coach, then back to the hotel for rest. A 10 hour coach ride was ahead.
