After breakfast, we left “the complex” and crossed the river to the Melbourne Aquarium, which was pretty good, but notably lacking in platypuses.
After wandering somewhat aimlessly around the shopping district (Melbourne seems to have a plethora of hidden malls), a GPS error led us on a wild goose chase in search of an Adidas store; into, and through, a little bohemian neighborhood to what turned out to be the sneaker ghetto/outlet district. We easily walked more today than any single day of hiking thus far (almost 9 hours of walking…it was at about 3k just to the shoe ghetto), but it was nice to get off the beaten tourist path, even if it was a bit too much like traveling halfway around the world to go to Greenpoint.
Bad weather (they are on the verge of a state of emergency in Victoria) forced us back to “the complex” for the remainder of our stay in Melbourne.
These things are sort of better looking alive...
They use every part of the pig...
Smith Street in Melbourne sort of reminded us of Smith Street in Brooklyn.
Lovely Melbourne....
Of course I'm not not going to stop at a place called Lord of the Fries....
Especially when they're serving Obama Sauce!
