So many funny thing we saw on our way.
Visiting the Queen Victoria Market
They are selling lots of clothes, boots, fruits and souvenirs
* Remarks * - Don't buy anything from there, it is very expensive except for the souvenirs.
The fruits are not really very fresh but looks good only.

After a while of shopping, we found a cafe next to the market and bought ourselve a banana ice cream split to share. Taste good but not cheap. It's AUD5!
Thereafter, we went back to Federation Square
always remember to grab a "free" shuttle route map and Melbourne Map @ Melbourne Visitor Centre
Walking along the Yarra River
Now crossing over Yarra River Bridge. Along the way, we found this stature.
and found this beautiful city!!
As we are walking, saw this (below photo), the dog was so cool!! Can only find this in Australia, if you do this in Singapore, the traffic police will come to "fine" = $$ you.
We just snapped a photo of it. If you want to go in, need to pay for the entrance fees.
The sky is getting darker and it's dinner time
This Thai restaurant along Grey street towards Fitzroy street
There is a pub and a 24hour mini mart next to it.
After dinner, we walk along Barkly Street and came to Acland Street
The night is still young!
There were lot of night life at this area and let's see what funny stuffs we'd found.
Along the way, we saw some interesting shops name and their shop design.
Visited the Luna Theme Park!!
No entrance fee requires, they charge by per ride at AUD 9. Wow!! It's damn expensive...no worth to try.
Therefore, we went back hostel ... Zzzzz...Sleeping Time!
