Today I hopped a flight to Melbourne, smooth travel for the most part except for the first few hours after I landed. First, the taxi took me from the train station to my hotel took me to the wrong hotel....so I got to get one extra loop around the block, at my expense of course, before I made it to my hotel. To make it more interesting, when I approached the counter and gave them my reservation information, they told me they had no record of me. What!?! I had handed them my printed reservation (learned to do this from previous travels) and after an hour of waiting around, I got my room key. This should of been the end of my issues but when I opened the door to my room, it smelled like a combination of cigarette smoke, mothballs, and a rotting damp rag. It did have a nice view of the parking garage in the back alley that I was sad to depart with. Headed back downstairs to get a new room and was moved to the floor above which had a much cleaner room.
The rest of the day, what was left of it, I spent walking around and ended up at St. Kilda beach. Hung out there for about an hour when a nasty cold wind came in. Headed back towards the hotel, grabbed a lamb burger at Cushions and went to bed. Slow day but it was good to relax a bit.
