We had Maggie Mee for Breakfast! A very nice change from the usual bread stuff after 7 days in Australia. Mind you, maggie mee is damn expensive is Australia as I got them from Coles. I guess you could get them cheaper at some Asian supermarkets but we did not have a chance to explore such details on Philip island.
Anyway, the AUS$1 (normally 30 cents at most in Singapore) went in and out of the cooking pot and we were enjoying the taste of home soon...
We drove around Philip Island a bit but were unable to do much as most of the shops and attractions open around 11 am. This is a bit late as our flight departs at 2 plus from Melbourne domestic airport. Wanted to do some fishing in Australia and there was a few spots in Philip and along G.O Road to do so.. unfortunately, timing is a bit bad
We did manage to go to the Panny's Amazing World of Chocolate. It seem to kiddish and so, we did not go into it to see the amazing chocolate display. But we did get some free chocolate samples though. Quite delicious. :)
It was a mad rush to the airport then as we got delayed by all the small roads that Susan brought us through. Should have gone by the highway and ignored the STUpid GPS..... hahaha.... but we made it anyway... And had our virgin flight on Virgin Blue.....
We arrive at our Sydney airport within 2 hours ++ and took the train to the Sydney centre. Our beautiful Mercure Hotel is just beside the train station and we even have a small balcony to stand outside and look at the world.....
Nothing much happen that day as we were pretty tired. so it was just walking around the hotel (although Chinatown is always Happening...) One thing though, the Abalone are huge in Australia! Did not know the current pricing so we did not buy any of them. Worth a thought though if you are going to Sydney....
