Melbourne: Italian Town

Melbourne - The Qantas flight over was full. We just arrived Melbourne and the weather was very nice. The hotel is right in Chinatown - Crossley Hotel Melbourne (managed by Mercure) @ 51 Little Bourke Street. A boutigue hotel with rooms that are clean and nice. The only drawback is their wireless internet access. We purchase the Telstra wireless Hotspot daypass after the 2nd log-in, we were not able to log-in anymore. Joe had the same problem too - and was on the back of the front manager to solve this problem. It took her close to 2hrs to get in touch with Telstra and still they could not resolve the wireless hotspot problem. So, the hotel had to move us to 3rd floor where they had wired internet access.

Lunch was nearby at Chine on Paramount on Little Bourke Street. The chinese food was normal but overly priced.

In the evening, with a yearning for Italian food, we spoke with one of the concierge of Melbourne Hotel and he told us that the best Italian food is about 40 mins out from our current location and we can take the tram there. There are many Italian restaurants located in this town. So, off we went and boarded a tram to Lygon station.
The tram ticket counter was within the tram itself and we were not sure whether to pay for not. Some ladies standing near by informed us that we have to pay but since we are tourist it's ok.

Restaurant: Il Gambero, 215 Lygon Street, Carlton - 03-9347-5791. The food is really good. It's really worth the trip there.
