The Mrs and I went on a delightful 11 day trip to Australia from 30th April to 11th May, covering Melbourne and Sydney in particular. The trip was fun and easy and the drive along the Great Ocean Road has been memorable to say at least.
We landed in Melbourne via an SQ flight admist all the nonsense\scare of the Swine Flu. Timing could not have been better as the alert was on Orange when we embark on our adventure. Well, hack care lah! just go..... :)
Check out our first meal (breakfast as we flew overnight from singapore) and my sleepy face! Bread (We did not know that MORE and MORE bread is to come... hahaha)
As we walk around the vicinity of our citigate hotel, we inevidently stroll onto Federation Square. Very Unique designs, i must say.....
Well. the weather was cooling. Like an aircon on full blast (a welcome change for me although a tat cold for the Mrs.) After a short, refreshing nap in the hotel room (yes, we were that stone after the flight), we set up for the famous Victoria Market. Food food and more FOOD!! Glorious food, especially SEAFOOD!! yummy yummmy!!!
Oysters Galore!!
joy of Seafood!
After we burst our stomach with the seafood, we went for some shopping around and some free tram ride (great idea to induce tourism) around the beautiful city of Melbourne.
Soon, it was dinner time, and we made our way to the famous casino of Crown Casino. Blood suckers as they are, I still managed a respectable AUS30 win on the rolette table. Many thanks to our lucky number 14 and 17. hahahaa...
A great start to our trip.....
