Victoria, The Place To Be : Day One


Your long awaited entry is here! "That's not rain, it's liquid sunshine!" I will always remember what the bus driver said as he drove along the streets of Melbourne City. It was drizzling and he cracked that joke I thought was not only the heartwarming optimism that the people in but left a deep impression in me.


Hey, it's me in the bustling city of Melbourne. Too bad TYH isn't with us, or else it would be FUN x 100. But hey, having 3 girls traveling together isn't a bad idea after all! This trip made us understand each other better, and oh, what else..shopping? Ha you really don't wanna know.

The place we were lodging in was smacked right in the middle of the city. Accessible, safer and very convenient in terms of shopping, food and sightseeing. It's an apartment and only cost us 800AUD for the rest our 9-day stay in Melbourne.

Break of dawn

The Kitchen which reminded me of the person next door
(He/She whips yummy Chinese Food! The aroma literally travels!)

Balcony! Check out the state library!

The humble living room. See that sofa? I slept throughout the entire stay.

I know many are particular, verdict: their toilets are SUPER clean.

We got there by this shuttle service called SkyBus (26AUD/2-Way) that has an additional free hotel shuttle service which fetches you back to the airport.


We were greeted by the freezing ass cold winter here in Melbourne but we're all ready to fight it!
In order to blog proper entries, I have decided to blog according to categories, i.e. Food, Places of Interests, Shopping..if there's more to come, I'll add on.

Day 1 was nothing much really. Besides planning our day tours and catching up and stoning in Starbucks, enjoying a hot cup of Starbucks coffee which Samantha has craved for since I don't-know-when (Perth has no Starbucks, apparently), our day was nothing but shopping and eating and walking.

Happy with her dose of caffeine.

Bitching session, what we do best. :)

Aveline with heavy eyebags!

Super messy yet cool shopping arcade.

Runway model Aveline.

Waiting for me by the changing room.

Witchery, a shop Samme loves patronizing

Lunch was...horrible.

Samme & Ave thought so too.

We caught a glimpse of the famous Flinders Street Station!

Happy!

The day ended early. 6P.M and most retail outlets are closed for the day which to much our dismay, shopping had to end too. But sightseeing went on, with Samantha and me prowling the streets at night with the already "dead" Aveline back home watching TV.

Vogue wants you!

F.Y.I only.


Day Two will be up tomorrow! :) Just keep a watch out for more pictures and interesting stuff about Melbourne, the place to be.
