Melbourne: I'm Back in Black!

I just got back from my trip...

Destination: Melbourne (nothing too WOW-zer)

Purpose: ACDC (i know right.. the ONLY reason we went is because my bf missed out on syd tix..)

Anyway, without consulting me he booked us into the Grand King View @ Grand Hyatt Hotel

I love melbourne... with brands called Acne, weird old ladies roaming around screaming at people, free trams... I love it!!!

Neither my bf nor i have ever indulged the awesome-ness of room service.

We decided to get room service for dinner the night we landed..

we kinda swore that we would never get room service again...
that promise didn't last... he got hungry again the next night and ordered a sauteed mushrooms $20 or so...

and pork chops... $35

and that was the last of room service.
