Melbourne


Melbourne is such a cute city. It’s where old meets new. The city has a lot of original old buildings mixed with creative high rises. There is a free tram that takes you around the city, so that is what we did the first night. During the ride there was descriptions of what we saw. The weather was beautiful, so it was nice to ride around. The next day we took a wine tour. We visited 3 wineries and ate a delicious tri tip lunch. I think it was the first taste of beef I have had in over a year. The wine was delicious and at one winery we were taught how to correctly taste wine. First you take your first sip to awaken your taste buds. The next sip you swish around your mouth and then swallow. And the third sip you tip your head forward and sort of gargle between your lips. It worked. We were able to identify many flavors. While we travel through the vineyards the bus driver/ tour guided talked to us about everything Australia. By the end of the tour we were use to their accent. In my opinion I think Australians in Melbourne has a heavier accent than the other cities we visited in Australia. That’s about all we did in Melbourne. We bought a few bottles of wine and enjoyed the food as well as walking around the city.
