Queen Victoria Night Market

Queen Victoria Market
Last night we met up with some friends Mikaela had met the previous year in Germany. There was a night market happening in the city, so we promptly loosened our belts one notch, and set off to indulge in tastes from all around the world. The Queen Victoria market is a two block historical market in the north end of Melbourne. It opened its doors in 1878 and was primarily a livestock and vegetable wholesale market. Today, it boasts tastes and crafts from around the world.
After a quick look around to the various cuisines I settled on some delicious Paella and tiramisu for dessert. The line may have been miles long, but this food was well worth the wait!
There were many smaller shows and performances going on as we ate, but perhaps the most entertaining was the silent disco. We first noticed them by their flashing blue LED headphones. A giant crowd of people, who could only have been tourists, came dancing through the centre of the market, all grooving to some melody that only they could hear. It was spectacularly cringey. Needless to say we opted out of that experience.

One of the girls we met at our hostel (who happens to also be from Hamilton), joined us for the market and it definitely completed the group. Three aussies (Mikaela's friends), three Canadians, and a whole lot of good food! Perfect Wednesday.
