After my few series from China Travel Diary, I figure I should totally continue doing my Travel Diary Series. I loved reading back to them and emerging myself with beautiful memories, literally beautiful.
Melbourne was so much fun, only if i had a bit more days in Melbourne and i would totally do a diary a day but i was so tired due to my ambitious tourist ego, i wanted to visit as many places as possible in 4 days time which i actually did it ! ;)
Apart from doing this travel diary, I've actually had a lot of vlogs coming up soon at my Vlog Channel on youtube ;)
Day 1 was on the 16th of Feb, Monday. Our plane was booked at 6am I think? I actually don't remember anymore. Anyways, we were excited as usual because we love adventures ! It took about 2 hours of flight, plane arrived at 10am Melbourne time. As soon as we landed in Melbourne, the weather was the first thing i noticed, it was quite breezy and cool for summer, completely different to Brisbane Summer. Thanks to Anh, we paid $90 for a less than 30mins Uber ride to Melbourne CBD from airport. It would probably cost only $15 if we skybus it. Only if we knew this earlier. I guess an Uber story to remember and to tell our grandkids in the future, am i right? Sarah?.
As soon as we got off Uber, we headed off to the Hardware Lane for some brunch. It was PACKED, we left our name and went straight to our hotel, to drop off heavy luggages. And then we went back to the brunch place- The Hardware Societe was a heart-broken place, brunch was just ok and Zomato rating was overly hyped. I wasn't too impress with it, and in fact i was a little bit disappointed. I was HUNGRY and was hoping to get some quality brunch to start off my Melbourne Journey.

------------- National Gallery of Victoria --------------
Soon after our brunch, we went to the National Gallery of Victoria and had absolutely hilarious time there.
HAHAH i couldn't hold my laughter anymore hence my face is like this
um, we actually do look alike wtf HAHHA
Anh's a bit off again
And no, you think our day ends here ? no, no, no, we explored a lot other places around CBD.
just a street view when we were on our way to hosier lane.
---------------- Hosier Lane ------------------
It's a cool lane that smells like piss, rubbish and filled with tourists, artistic souls and aesthetic paintings.
Just on our way to hotel for a quick rest, before a late night shopping at Melbourne Central.
------------------- Melbourne Central --------------------
This is totally Melbourne Central at 5.30pm not even kidding, bright as 2pm in the arvo.
defs recommend to go, this place is huge, it's got 3 levels and each level filled with millions of shops, and they've also got Sephora for rich bitches (me one day) who hauls a lot of makeup.
We got so hungry, and rest of the photos just some footage of us while we were trying to find, Cummulus inc, cos Sarah said it was one of the popular restaurant in Melbourne. It turned out it is a really fine restaurant but im afraid it was a little bit over our budget. We went in without knowing anything about their menu, unfortunately, it was that full that no tables were free for us. And the waiter kindly asked us if we wanted to grab some drink first, and went upstair . So we did. we were a little bit embarrassed and shocked when we looked at the menu, so i decided i ll just have a cocktail, and Anh and Sarah had Mocktails. And you know the drill, i got tipsy and they started to tease about everything i say... AHHAHA ok. e.g. expression of love
this is the upstair view from Cummulus Inc, restaurant 2. I would probably go back to this fancy place in a few years time tho ;) just to be classy and all fancy
This photo turned out to be 100% beautiful, the light was ridiculous low, i love my DSLR what more can i say ? worth the $$$ ;).
My beautiful cocktail ;)
---------- Chinatown -----------
We were STARVING, so we decided to go to Chinatown for some cheap eats. umm, i know what a transition, we were just at a fancy as classy restaurant with AESOP hand wash and now we are down at the streets with casual foods and plastic bowls. AHHHA
yes, finally we had some foods, you should see how satisfied we looked. --> I will be uploading my day 1 in 3 parts on my vlog channel because its 21 mins long, and youtube doesn't even allow me to upload it. like WTF . So on day 1 we woke up at 4am Brisbane time, went to bed at 12am Melbourne time, we had a long as tiring day, yet we were all satisfied with a hint of cheap happiness that comes from those ridiculous cheap dumplings. ;)
FIN
XOXO
Thanks for reading and tuning to my blog, and my life.
