Day 1 - Melbourne, Fitzroy

Start the day off right with a grand breakfast at Babka Bakery Cafe which is a Fitzroy institution serving up Eastern European fare. For lunch head to Sonido and enjoy some Colombian arepas but don't forget to try the hot chocolate. For dinner, there is no better old school option than heading to the Napier Hotel and ordering one of their mammoth Bogan Burgers (yes you can share it with two). The Rose Hotel is ideal to catch a game of Aussie Rules Football on TV with the locals, before heading to Bar Open which has an electric mix of live music every night of the week. End the day at the nearby Fitzroy Bed and Breakfast for a comfy night sleep.
