8 Where to eat in St. Kilda, Melbourne

A favorite of the locals is Acland Street, with its many restaurants and
shops. At one end is the popular Dog’s Bar, a staple in St. Kilda since 1989.
Around the corner on Carlisle Street is the Galleon Cafe, a throwback to the

hippie lifestyle with great food and co ee. Further down Acland Street, there
are too many restaurants, pubs, and shops to mention. But Acland is most
famous for its cake shops. Wander down the street and salivate in front of
the full window displays of pastries, cakes and other goodies. It’s hard to
make a decision, so you may have to sample one from each shop. And the
co ee is great in Melbourne, too.

9 Don’t bring any food into New Zealand.

In order to prevent the introduction of agricultural pests and diseases, New
Zealand’s Department of Conservation has strict biosecurity rules. You’ll need to
declare all food in your luggage before going through immigration and should be
prepared to throw out most edible items—especially fruits, nuts, and plants.
