Day #2 in Melbourne saw a big day of exploration again. We started by taking the footbridge that goes from the 'G to Federation Square, which was a great walk, past the Tennis Centre, and all the activity there, in preparation for the AO next week. From there we opted to go check out South Walk, the mall at Southbank. While it was a nice walk and a cool area, it didn't have much in the way of shopping, which is what the tribe was craving. So from there, we headed across the Yarra again, into the CBD, and up to Melbourne Central. There we shopped 'til we dropped, and I got to sample Marrybrown, the Malaysian fried chicken fast food place that opened here a year ago. It was good too. The maps are split in two again, this time because of a Google Maps limitation, limiting the number of stops one can put in one journey.
I'm going to call it 10km all-up for this one, as we spent a heap of time wandering around in malls, whereas I just put the main landmarks on the maps. I was spent by the time we got back, not so much in terms of fitness, but my feet hurt. I am not sure if it's me or the shoes. I'll try my new Merrell's next time around, and see how we go. Thrilled to get two big walks in on this trip!
