Let me tell you a little about Melbs (Melbourne). Being the shameless nerd with exquisite taste that I am, the European-style architecture made my hour-long tram trips from Burwood into the city interesting. Some need tunes or Candy Crush to pass the time, but I’m perfectly content with seeing Federation-style houses outside my window, thank you very much.

I was lucky enough to have some friends who were living on the island short term and invited my mother and I to come visit and explore the island.
