Step one: gather one Noodles and one Pegleg
Step two: unleash them on Melbourne.
Step Three: Let the shinnagins begin
Me and peggy checked in to Melbourne YHA, and hit the town for a good night out. Melbourne is famous for its small ally and unique bars and we found a good collection of them. Bar one Betty Browns a small bar below the hostel, with a funky feel suitcase tables and old funky chairs. Bar two an bar on an island half way across a walking bridge along the beautiful Melbourne river. And in cold weather we sat near braziers and watched the city with a fat yak beer in hand. Bar Three an outdoor bar only called section 8, its like a beer garden without the bar, and the drinks are served out of a burrito stand of sorts. It was funky original with crazy lighting, wooden raised benches and all sorts of trees. And it was here we met two hipsters who would escort us to the next bar. As we started following them down a small dingy alley we were 95 percent sure they were just going to mug us, another group of well dressed funksters started down the same alley as well and around there corner where there would usually be just dumpsters was a three floor bar themed like a science lab. They drinks were in beakers and crazy glass containers , and you drank drinks out of syringe tubes while the dj mixed to an old silent movie projected on the wall, Insane. We danced the hell out of the place and proceeded to drink beer and eat Chinese food until the wee hours of the night sitting along the river.
Day two brought a wonderful wander across the city to Melbourne’s famous markets, literally and I you not like a mile long and selling everything from fresh produce to wooley hats. From here our wander took us past rows of lovely historical row houses that felt like they were in a small quiet town not a big city, and around the block you would find amazing modern artistic monsters, housing all sorts of museums and galleries surround by gorgeous gardens and parks, I love this city. From here we checked out the amazing alley graffiti surrounding little cafés, restaurants and bars that lined the small alleys. The night brought us to the Casino where we met my buddy Rosco and another friend we met at the hostel and gambled our money away. I was up 140 on roulette and lost that all in 15 minutes leaving me down 60 bucks , nice. All and all Melbourne rocks our socks something fierce.
