We flew in on Tiger, with some $10 fares that I had picked up a few months ago. We didn't get in until about 10pm though, so by the time we got to our accommodation it was around 11pm.
We stayed at Punt Hill Manhattan in Flinders Lane (pictured below). Wotif described it as industrial chic, which was reasonably accurate, although part of me felt like we'd stumled into a setpiece from Saw.
In the morning we checked out pretty early, and had breakfast at a lovely little restaurant/bar called Terra Rosa, a few doors down. Sitting in front of an open fireplace, I had their breaky sandwich, which was basically a fancier version of the Subway one I have every second day or so.
After breakfast we got the train out to Prahan, and did some shopping in Chapel Street.
I got a new jacket from Industrie, and these awesome sneakers from a sneaker store called Provider.
Michella also managed to get a few things, spending her birthday cash. After we'd finished up on Chapel Street, we caught the train back into town, returned to Terra Rosa for a beer, then back to the airport.
The Tiger terminal at Melbourne airport is really quite a sight. Michella said it looks like a bus terminal. I said a refugee camp. It doesn't resemble a regular airline terminal, that's for sure. For some reason they serve alcohol in there, so the place is full of guys walking around, swigging from bottles of beer. It just looks wrong. Still, they do have Krispy Kreme there so it's not all bad.
We got into Adelaide at about 8pm last night so just a short visit but a good one, would be good to get back later this year and take some time though, and catch up with friends.
