My First Night at St Kilda Beach

It was a tired day for my past 2 days. I woke up at nine and checked out at 10am. We temporary left our luggage in the hostel and walked to the Queen Victoria Market. It is a huge market within the city, where mainly attracts tourists and residents surrounded. The stalls are ordered by section based on the food type, and it is clean in the pedestrian way. If you want me to compare it with Malaysia’s market, they are much more organized and structured. After a short visit to the market, we took a free city tram surrounded the city. We stopped at Dockland, city port of Melbourne. I strolled along the jetty and enjoyed the view of the port. Beside the Jetty, some luxury apartments are constructed along the Port. It is so beautiful. After that, we took the free city tram back to my hostel, then moved into my new “house” at St Kilda Beach Hostel.

St Kilda Beach Hostel is one of the international hostels near the beach (5-10 minutes walk). To be honest, the outlook of this hostel is good, but the room’s quality is not as good as Victoria Hall Hostel. However, it is not bad in overall. The room price is much cheaper than other hostels where it costs me RM18 per day (dorm with 8 beds) if occupied for the whole week (winter sale). We shared the room with two persons from New South Wale Australia and Sepia. They are coupled. They treated us and nice and friendly. This is my first night at St Kilda.

The next day, we spent some times in Sunday Esplanade Market. This market is located at the Esplanade Road, besides sea bay. Most of the stuff are unique and local made. And, stall owners were always not allowing the tourist take photo on their local made products.

** What I hear in my shared dorm. Europeans are too open minded until they can make love in public. Unfortunetely, it was dark. Hehe!
