Sorry about the delay in updates. A lot of things have been happening lately but of course, nothing that I cannot handle =)
Apart from that, I had a really good and long weekend over in Singapore, with someone ;p
Anyway, continuing with my updates about my Melbourne trip.
Day 3 started out late because both of us are tired and the hotel's bed was too comfortable to be left alone.
However, my stomach called out, so I had to wake up first before the hotel's breakfast was over.
I quickly wash up and went down for a light meal before the breakfast time is over.
After a light breakfast, I went back up to wash up and head back to bed till she was awake.
We then head out for the real breakfast which we had in an awesome store that serves probably the best selections of pancakes, called Pancake Parlour.
She order the Chocolate Jubilee, which is filled with chocolate all over as you can see in the picture below.
While I ordered my favourite, the Country Breakfast that have lots of bacons, mushrooms, eggs.. well, you get the picture =P
After our sweet sinful and yummy wholesome breakfast, and about 3 refills of coffee later,
we decided to spend our 2nd day in Melbourne exploring the city and taking lots of scenery pictures.
We started out from Collins Street and headed towards Swanston Street because we wanted to see those cute horse carriages again as last night was quite dark and couldn't see much.
After reaching Swanston, we walked towards St. Paul's Cathedral which is located at the Swanston Street and Flinders Street intersection.
We spent quite some time there to take a few pictures and we saw this really cute bird standing on a statue's head. Pictures below:
Then we visited the Federation Square and also the tourist centre which is located in there to look at some sourvenirs.
It was getting really cold as we got closer to Federation Square because the Yarra River is located just beyond there, and also since the Federation Square is a large open area, it's quite windy there.
After spending some time in the Tourist Centre, we headed towards the bridge along St. Kilda Road to take some really nice pictures of the Yarra River.
It was already quite late when we reach the Yarra River because we started our day late.
We spent close to half an hour or more on the bridge just admiring and taking pictures of the river, and of course, a little couple chat.
It was turning dark when we decided to look for dinner. We couldn't decide where to have our dinner, so upon reaching the intersection of Russell Street and Little Bourke Street, I decided to have some chinese food for dinner.
Which we then entered Little Bourke Street and the whole street is a Chinatown.
We went into a Malaysian cafe called Oldtown Kopitiam. Both of us had the Hainanese Chicken rice, which was not bad, and the serving of the chicken was generous.
After dinner, we headed back to our hotel. While on the way back to our hotel, we saw this two person playing this really huge chess set on the street. You can see how big it is below, lol:
Well, this practically sums up our 2nd day in Melbourne, although to be exact, it's the 3rd day of the trip =)
The hotel room feels good, especially a hot bath after a day out in the cold.
Will update again as soon as I have the time. So, do drop by again in about a week~
