Sydneysider meets Melbourne

Sydneysider posting!

I finally had some spare cash in my account, so what better way of spending it than a small weekend away to good old Melbourne to visit Sian!

Note to all who are going this winter: You will die if you leave home without a coat! Sydney's winter feels like a sauna compared to Melbourne's. Apparently we were lucky to have two sunny days whilst we were down there.

Although cold, it was an amazing weekend! My boyfriend and I stayed at The Metropol on South Wharf and did I mention that we got upgraded an Isika Spa Suite on the top floor. 

Check out our sweet view. Winning!

Now I've been to Melbourne numerous of times but would you believe that I've never been to Chapel Street?! (embarrassing, I know) So the first thing on our agenda was to tackle the enormously long street. For shopaholics like Sian and myself, this place is your enemy so stay clear if you have no money.

This isn't Chapel St, but it sure is lovely!

For lunch, we went to the BEST burger joint I have ever been to, and I've tasted a lot of burgers since I've been with Karl! Jus Burgers on Chapel St, makes the tastiest cheeseburger with a twist. I loved the idea of having swiss cheese, aoli and tomato relish instead of the traditional ketchup and cheddar.

 

Next thing on the agenda was to see Sian!! We decided to organize a cute double date at the beautiful Bakini in South Yara. However, things turned upside down when it came to picking us up from our hotel. Being smack-bam in the middle of the city, with traffic everywhere because of the rugby caused a lot of confusion so we settled for somewhere near the Crown Casino instead.

On the Crown Promenade you will find amazingly over priced restaurants such as the Atlantic, Rockpool Bar & Grill and Nuevo37, all over looking the wharf and fairy-light covered trees. It's truly magical.

This is us at Cervo (a much cheaper alternative on the promenade but still cute) sipping Appeltinis and eating yummy italian pasta. All in all, a truly wonderful evening with truly wonderful company!

Style tip: Going out for dinner? Nothing beats a cute blazer and a bright
statement necklace to jazz it up.

Before I go, I have to say 3 nights in Melbourne is really not enough. I would suggest planning at least one week to get the most out of your trip. Sian was right, in terms of food and culture Melbourne s***'s on Sydney.
