Recently I had the opportunity to ride Melbourne’s largest Ferris Wheel, the Melbourne Star. This giant wheel is in the same vein as the London Eye, it rises 120 metres above the ground and gives you a complete view of Melbourne far and wide. It’s an expensive ride at full price - $36AUD for an …
Happy Sunday! Today the post is about cities I’ve been to which I think absolutely DEMAND a second visit (if not a third or fourth).
