Melbourne: the perfect cocktail

Put Berlin, Brussels and New York in a cocktail blender and the result might be something like Melbourne. It's been a week now after we left that astonishing city, but it's vibe is still resonating in our brain.

Maybe it's about the night, when the tall buildings seem to disappear in the skies, embraced by the clouds lit up by the bright city. The casino blows fire in the sky and during the weekends thousands of dressed-up fancy people are crowding up the streets. It's just wonderful. While wandering through the city, we discovered narrow streets with astonishing graffiti arts, fancy little bars and well-hidden pubs - luckily, we were helped a little bit by Sharon, who guided us through the darkest places of Melbourne. We got ourselves into outdoor bars and museums, Dimitri enjoyed the traffic infrastructure and Graham went out of control in the games museum. You wouldn't believe us, but we kinda fell in love with a city.

Let the pictures speak for themselves...
