HELLOS FROM MELBOURNE!

So we boarded the flight that will take us to Perth International Airport for transit to the domestic flight for Melbourne. It was a sleepless journey for me. Too many things left behind... I watched 21 on the plane. It was so slow! It was a disappointment actually.

Transiting at the Perth International Airport was a nightmare, or rather an eye opening one. The airport was kinda pathetic. It was like our budget terminal back in SG. It was 12degrees outside and it was raining. The wind that blows in every time the automatic doors slide open was enough to freeze the entire airport. We had a few hours to waste, so we found ourselves a nice little spot to rest our tired eyes. I could only manage a total of about an hour. It was too cold to sleep!

Melbourne wasnt so cold when the sun was out. We arrived to a windy central Melbourne where my aunt picked us up. We walked from the Spencer St terminal all the way to her house. After lunch, my aunt escorted us to the Aquarium to pick up our travel passes (not worth it!). We parted ways and we were off to explore the streets of Central Melbourne! IT WAS SO FREAKING COLD. There were nice cafes along Degraves St, Central Way ( soup restaurant!) and Manchester Lane. We didnt do much shopping as most shops were closed already.

Dinner was at this Korean restaurant. The food is nice man! HAHAHs by now (8pm SG 10pm AU) the wind has picked up and the temperatures have dropped significantly. It was like standing in the freezer compartment with a strong fan blowing at you. Walked to Crown Casino in the cold, well, we tried the slots machine.. erm didnt turn out well. Blackjack was interesting to watch though. Did I mention that Avni got stopped by the casino security for looking like a kid? HAH! They had humongous cakes at this cafe there, and they all looked so yummy! but we didnt try them in the end.

We are making sandwiches for lunch tomorrow! Looking at the stuff we got from the Supermart, I am already hungry for tomorrow's lunch. HEE :)
