Queen Victoria Market Melbourne


Hi all we arrived safely after the LONG journey down under and are having fun. Melbourne is a vibrant, multicultural city with great food and friendly people. The weather is a tad changeable not unlike the UK my homeland. Yesterday we visited the Queen Victoria market wow foodie heaven, great foods, fresh produce, meats, clothes, and a food hall. Here are a few snaps to share the experience with you all and a small clip. I don't have internet so am using the free wifi in the Lobby for this post!
A little tour


Inside the market there are over 1000 venders!



Wonderful fresh produce much of it grown in Australia


This butcher made me smile!


If your in Melbourne be sure to take the little side alleys between the main streets so many amazing places to eat and folks sitting outside. 



Pretty Victorian arcades, reminds me of Leeds in the UK.

I also meet Emma Stirling a dietitian here in Australia I meet on twitter we had the most lovely afternoon and our kids played together, I felt like I had known her for years she is the sweetest person ever. 

I made her do a clip on her top things to see as a local!, see below:





This evening we are meeting local Melbourne food bloggers for dinner, will write another post in a couple of days to fill you all in.

Much love from the lovely land down under, sorry I can't visit your blogs, hard with no internet 

Love and hugs
