Last day at Melbourne

I seem to be bad with updating the last days of trips haha. Finally getting to it though it's Christmas Day!

Today is the last day in Melbourne and we checked out at 10am, leaving bags at reception. The apartment hotel was not too bad, we used the laundry twice and the kitchenette to wash. Used bottled water instead of boiled so kitchenette probably wasn't altogether necessary, however it was nice to have. Having a separate room meant we could also put baby to bed early like we usually do at home, then hang out in the living room (checking in on her once in a while). Plenty of space as well and tram stops right outside.

Headed to Bakemono for breakfast (again) but our picks were a bit uninspiring this time. Still decent size though. Then we walked to Fortress Melbourne to have a look, and it's funny we're visiting that before Fortress Sydney. It's nice and it's cool to have a nice space to do a variety of gaming in, but I think at home is still cheaper. Not for all groups though obviously.

We headed back to the hotel to pick up our bags, then walked to DFO South Wharf and joined three other people on the free shuttle bus to the airport. Managed to get priority pass for late lunch/early dinner at two places.

Unfortunately she was overtired on the flight back. Takeoff and landing themselves weren't the problem but irregularly she was screaming and it was so hard to soothe her not being able to walk around. I really didn't want to go up and down the aisle and be a spectacle. I guess that's the difficult part about travelling with babies!

All in all a tiring trip, glad to be home, but also good to share our first of hopefully many travels with little Remilia.Read more
