What a great discovery of Melbourne! Thanks to Tessa, Tristan and her adorable girls we were able to see Melbourne in a different way. Our first experience had been ibis hotel on bourke street and we didn t enjoy the city at all. Tessa s house is in port philippe, two steps from the seaside, 1 step away from the tram (buy your wiki card ahead), and close to st kilda. Thanks to all her great tips and recommendations we ate the best sea food in st kilda, drank the best coffee in st francis, saw the south melbourne market, napped in the botanic garden, had a drink on the docks and stolled the laneway. Tessa and Tristan let us borrow their bike the whole day and thanks to their kindness, generosity and great tips we have completly changed our mind on Melbourne and how a family lives there too. We loved it. Special mention for the super nice dog :-)
