Sit and watch the world go by....take a walk, hire a bike you'll be glad you just were part of Melbourne More

This review is based on a visit to Melbourne more than a year ago: I was doing most of my sightseeing alone while in Melbourne a few years ago and the cruise along the Yarra was a lot of fun.
