and we're back to Melbourne! aaaaah, it was so good to be back! after our crazy Sydney trip, going back to Melbourne to cool down was the purrfect plan.
This time, a friend joined us to tour around Melbourne (yo, norman!) and the three of us stayed at my sister's house again in Tarneit, Victoria.

As soon as we arrived in Melbourne, we went straight to a Lavender Farm near the Dandenong Ranges. We explored a bit and had picnic for lunch.

Melbourne CBD
The three of us explored CBD on our own. From my sister's place, we rode the bus and then took train going to the city. We alighted at Flinders Station and from there, we took tram to go around the city.
Tip: take the FREE tourist tram (35 - City Circle) to explore the must-see and nice-to-see tourist sites :)

St. Kilda
Spent the whole morning in St. Kilda. I love love cafe's!!!
Tip: go to acland street for a whole street full of cafe's! don't forget to order PAVLOVA, a traditional australian dessert! it's like a combination of sweet and extra sweet. hahaha!

a must see!
Tip: Better check the time of their shows so you can plan which one to watch first. my recommendation, The Crown vs Edward Kelly! Audience participation is encouraged so volunteer!!
Docklands and view of Etihad Stadium
we were fortunate enough to experience a summer food fair in Victoria Market! best way to cap off my melbournce experience was stuffing my face with a lot of grub like there was no tomorrow! i finally tried "kangaroo" meat, it tasted like beef but more chewy.
food selection was vast! crowded but manageable. i super loved it!
Final Thoughts about Melbourne
i heart melbourne!!! i would really love to come back for a longer vacation (or for good. hehe!). i want to experience spending 1 whole afternoon at carlton gardens. i'm so inlove with that place that i want my "future surprise" to be held there. charoooooz!
shopping in melbourne was a great experience as well! my luggage went overweight coz of too much shopping! yikes! hahaha!
blabbing about my trip here brings back happy memories. aaaaah, can't wait to be back! :)
