it has been days since i last update.went to canberra to meet ching on 11th june.flew there alone.took cab alone.subsequently, we had dinner in one of the cafes.her hostel is nice,but the livng room and kitchen is very dirty,due to her unkempt housemates.stayed there for 3 days.we cooked,she bakes tiramisu and we keep having desserts! she brought me to visit the war museum,shopping around city, visit the parks and her school.Canberra is a quiet state despite being Aus's capital. Her ''friend'', Dave brought me to see the Parliment house and we had dinner at Redhill. on 15th june, Ching and i went to Melbourne by coach. IT leaves at 2330hrs.The driver was nice coz he allowed me to take my fleece wen i was freezing cold in the coach. we reach melbourne at 8 a.m.
Melbourne is a vibrant city. lotsa victorian stlye buildings, food is everywhere,museums and parks. went to shop in the city.the shops are huge.we stayed in Formule 1 on Elizabeth Street.Though the room was small, but it was cozy and clean.We ate Max Brenner, Bruetinni, drank hot bubble tea,salmon,and honestly i couldnt think of proper food we eat.We talked, we laughed, we pour out our woes.We ate ice cream at Lygon Street.There are lotsa restaurants andwe ate Gelato icecream.panda and lychee flavour for mi and durain for ching.
Yvette and Gerard arrived on the 17th june. Shopped around in the city, visited museums and went to Queen Vic Market.Had pizza foe dinner on the first place and had koko black's chocolate drink.Burgers,chocolates and pizzas is what we survived for the few days in the city.
went on our great ocean road trip on the 20th june, sat train to GEelong and we rented a Honda Getz. the view was magnificent and the hills and the cows,sheeps and horse were roaming around.. it makes us feel like we are in the movie' Sound of music'.. saw the famous 12 Apostles. The accomodation was bad on the first night.we stayed in a cabin. the bathroom was leaking and the floor was dirty.3 of us had to squueze in a queen size bed due to the cold weather and there is only one heater. the remaining 2 accomodation was good: the international inn at apollo bay and port o call motel in port campbell. we ate maggie for 3 days!the road was windy along the great ocean road.but i have nv regreted spendin money on this trip.it is worth it!
Our trip ended yesterday.reach perth at 0100hrs.
