Update on Melbourne trip - Day 1

Back from holiday! And I am back to work! It has been a week! Things are going kinda slow but fine!

Decided to do a short update on my trip! For remembrance sake! Hees!
Arrived in Melbourne at 5 in the morning! Everywhere was dark and freezing cold!

We first went to the gold museum. It was pretty boring! We tried to follow some china tour group to eavesdrop on what their guide is saying but we got bored.

Sovereign Hill was more fun! It is like a theme park except without the rides. The staff there were all dressed up to be like the residents of sovereign hill in the past! Even some of the kids borrowed costumes to join in the fun!
