Melbourne

Derick and I have just come back from a few days in Melbourne. It was originally a business trip but with Mum and Dad looking after the kids we managed to stay a couple of days extra to have a look around.

This was my first visit to Melbourne and I loved the city with it's hidden arcades and laneways and the architecture. The weather was cool but sunny - a nice change from the humidity in Brisbane.

One day was spent wandering the city visiting beautiful boutiques and I made sure to visit Tessuti - the fabric shop which I have admired online for a long time.

We were lucky enough to check out the night markets which are held at the Queen Victoria Markets up until Christmas. This is a handmade market similar to Brisstyle with the addition of amazing food stalls. Large cups of Sangria were being consumed everywhere you turned and the atmosphere was fantastic.

I will definately visit again.
