I have a soft spot for Melbourne, may be it is because the best part of my 6 years were spent in this city as a student, or is it because Melbourne has been ranked No.1 as the world’s “Most Liveable City” for the second year in a row by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s liveability survey?
That's yours truly on the left, at the Melbourne Essendon Airport; 1967.
46 years after that picture was taken, me and Le General heads for the city I love :)
We landed at Melbourne Airport, Thursday; at 8.30 am.
We got a mild shock when we join the Q at the immigration check out, a couple of planes from China must have arrived at the same time; we were swamped by hundreds (look more like thousands) of Chinese tourists!
Took us 90 minutes to pass through the check point!
We made our way to the
Sky Bus stand, we bought a return ticket; A$28.00 each. Don't even consider taking a cab, unless you just won Lotto ;)
The BIG, fast; Sky Bus took us to the
Southern Cross Station where we changed to a smaller hotel transfer bus. It is very efficient, and in 40 minutes we were outside our hotel.
