Melbourne

FINALLY
I'm on MC today and hence have the time to sit down and post about my wonderful Melbourne trip. It's been three weeks since I'm back but I haven't even had the time to unpack. I'm a horrible person.

Good thing this trip that we went with a friend who has a nice DSLR so yes most of the photos (which looks nice without the blurry+dreamy effect from the lousy s5 camera) are taken by him!
Oh ya so for this trip I went with two of the worms and three of the worm's friend. Three of them went one day earlier because of my exam hahahaha so technically I went for a holiday straight after my exams ended

7.5 hours midnight flight which left us in a horrible state when we landed.

We sat at the row nearest to the toilet and the flushing of the toilet made ABJJ jump up from her sleep most of the times hahahaha

The first place we visited!
State Library of Victoria

It's so weird to visit a library and take photos in it because libraries in SG are not so nice and normally I go there to study

And there's a mini museum in the library....??? what even

Much pretentious shot

Our first lunch! And then every lunch looks similar from then on because it's all about the bread and eggs

DAY 2

Luna Park

Which we only took a photo from outside. It's actually a theme park but it looks too creepy to be theme park

Random walk by the beach which now I'm wondering.... why did we do that????

Had a nice breakfast at a farm

THIS WAS SO GOOD I SWEAR

3 hours drive up to Yarra Valley for wine and cheese tasting

Feel like these are the kind of places that you should come with a tour group because the people there won't really entertain you much unless you're with a tour group. But anw it's something like Swan Valley in Perth

Drove back and since there still was time, we went up the Eureka Skydeck for sunset

I swear we sat there for like an hour for this

Compensated with a nice dinner

What the rest had. BEEF. Cravings now pls

DAY 3
Visited the Werribee Open Range Zoo which was super duper duper disappointing.

I think this is the worst and most disappointing zoo I've visited in Australia
The animals in there were so limited and all so so so far away

But anyway I think the issue is that this is zoo and now a wildlife park, which I understand. But pretty sure I've been to a zoo where I can get to touch the kangaroos and koala in Sydney...
And another issue is that this zoo is trying to fight extinction, hence few animals and most of the animals are extinct/going to be extinct. Which is good but still I can't accept the fact that the kangaroos are in a huge open field, so so so far away which I can barely even see them

It was only the two of us that day because the rest went to cycle

Oh ya the rest are like cyclists enthusiasts, so they bought their own bikes from SG to cycle there. Something that I can never do as a bowler...hehe

DAY 4

Set out super early for Great Ocean Road because the drive takes about 6 hours

First stop at a cafe for brekkie!

My super duper healthy break muesli + latte because we in aussie

Second stop to spot koalas

Spot the slouching koala!!!!! So kewt

Third stop

And we finally reach the 12 Apostles (now 8 lol)!!!

As usual, Australia's sky, sea and sun is to die for

Decided to go a little further down and stop at the London Bridge

So apparently this was a whole bridge until the waves knocked it down. And when the bridge collapsed, there were people on the other side of the bridge, so a helicopter had to rescue them hahahaha feel kinda bad that it sounds funny to me but it's still funny

My fav photo from the trip!
