First adventure in Melbourne

Taking the train and trams in Melbourne to visit Victoria Market and the Museum of Chinese Australian History
We purchased Myki cards that you then load with money for fares.  To enter and leave transit, one places the card against sensors and gates open.


Flinders Station is the main station downtown and central hub for transferring to other train lines or going out and taking a bus or tram.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We exited the station and walked down the street and caught a tram to Victoria Market where we joined up with Eva and Philip.
 




 
 
 
 
 
 Victoria Market is HUGE!  We could have spent hours exploring all there was to see and do.  After a bit to eat, we hopped a tram and visited the Chinese Museum.
 






 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There are a couple of free options for visiting a great number of attractions in the downtown area.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We walked around a bit before taking the train back to the Hemisphere Hotel.
