The trip was pretty good! But I got really homesick on the last day! Was really glad to be going home! haha!
We headed off for the airport right after work on friday. Thanks to ays, we manage to arrive in airport just in time.
Leaving on a trip straight from work simply means we arrived at Melbourne with the same clothes we wore the previous day at work and also, really exhausted from work and the plane ride. But the excitement of the trip kept us pretty awake in the early morning.
We had a tight itinery that day. We collected our rented vechicle and headed for Lake Entrace immediatly. With our well printed out itinery, detailed google map direction and the supplied Melway (Melbourne's street directory), we headed for our destination. Thanks to BC for his detailed planning. His itinery is well informed, detailed and neatly organised by days. So impressed!
However, Lake Entrance was about 5 hours drive away. After the first 2 hours, we started nodding off. Seeing all the road signs asking us to take power nap made us even sleepier. So we really stopped by the road side to take a powernap! Felt so awake after that!
Our nap stop.... :P
The driver sleeps...
We made a stop at St Mary's church to look at the handpainted ceilings (like the one of michelangelo's). Exact location.... forgot! Itinery isnt with me. Sorry. The church seem so quiet when we arrived. We werent sure whether we could go in. But the doors of the church is always open (during official hours... keke) so we went in anyway.
So beautiful the inside of the church was!! So Magnificant! How i wish I could get married there. I couldnt resist taking some pictures. Pity my pics turn out rather blur.

Finally Finally! We arrived at Lake Entrance. The scenary was beautiful. I think its a place where the city pple come to for relaxation and enjoy some water activitied. Pity we were not staying there that night cause we could not manage to get accomodation. So we did not plan for any water activities. Although our luggage was still with us, we decided to forgo doing any activties cause there's still a long drive back to melbourne city.
So we took a relaxing stroll around and look for our fish and chips lunch.
Lake Entrance.
Swans & gulls... ard around...
More gulls!
How to escape from fish n chips when u r in aussie?
Crossing the bridge to the beach
Can see the boy? A group of Aboriginal(i think) boys were having fun jumping off the bridge. They were doing it again and again. Like our kampung kids last time.
Lifeguard's hut!
The beach! - Actually, aussie has quite nice and quiet beaches. I wonder why pple bother to go Bali. It is not as beautiful as everyone claims..
1 more pic of Lake Entrance before we head back
Beautiful sky while we were on a way back to Melbourne.
We arrived at Melbourne ard 7 that day. The sky was still shining bright. We checked in and dump our things and then headed for dinner! My favourite! Nandos!!! How i miss it!! Keke!!
My quarter chicken and peri peri fries!!
Yummy sauces! I bought 2 small bottles back to SG!! Hahaha!! :P!
We headed for our favourite roulette game again! We lost 20 bucks! really fast this time! So disappointed! haha!
We went for a short walk ard the city.
We decided to share a second meal @ dessert house. We were really full from nandos! Jus plain greedy cause we wanna try many things and not much days here in melbourne!
Pork chop rice in house sauce + milk tea!! Yumz yumz! We mostly ate the pork chop! The rice was barely touched. The portion of rice is the amount of rice i eat for like 2 days lo! MAdness! BC sae he used to be able to eat that amount. haha!
We went back to our apartment after that. I noticed something funny when BC parked his car.
Can you guess which is our car? keke!
Our apartment looks like some old dorm from the outside but it was pretty clean and nice on the inside. So it was quite comfortable.
My travel mate is so neat. I was so amused when i went to the toilet to find all the toiletries lined up so neatly. Haha!
Forgot to mentioned that i stocked up on my favourite drink! Calpico!! I still cant find it in SG!! :(
That ends our first day! barely did anything but exhausted already! keke!
