13 June 2010 Reached Melbourne International Airport at 5.30am. Australia is 2 hours ahead of us. Melbourne International Airport Be Careful.. Quarantine Matters! Declare or beware! Thirsty? More Ways to Pay.. It was so cold.. A short while later, the tour bus driver cum guide met us. The bus took about an hour to reach the city of Melbourne. Early morning scenery at the city. Such big shophouse for dairy products. Feeling cold and hungry, I had hotcakes.. and a hot cup of cuppucino at McDonald's.. before I proceeded to Queen Victoria Market.
