Our 1st day in Melbourne! Yayy, super excited :D First thing first, we went to Queen Victoria Market! The place is so huge! Seriously! We can't cover the whole place in a day. So, yeaps there's a second trip aite. HIHI. Btw, if you would like to buy souvenirs, this is the place to get some. Some of the shops sell it for a cheap price. Got a pack of 4 keychains (total of 24 keychains) for $10. It's quite all right if you ask me :) OH ! You have to try the churros & jam doughnuts they sold here! It's delicious.
Later in the afternoon, my friend toured us around Melbourne City and i must say it's beautiful! We walked for hours and hours just so that we are familiar with the city and trying to experience being a "Melby". When it's time to eat, we had late lunch at this Indonesian restaurant called BLOK M. Which is quite a hit for Malaysians who are living or traveling here. I ate ayam balado, i must say it is quite spicy ! I stopped eating halfway cz i couldn't handle the spiciness :( But, the balado gravy was so so good!!
Day 2.
It's Sunday ! That means Sunday Market !! hehe. We went to Camberwell Sunday Market. The market is so much fun!! You can find all sorts of things, from glasswares to toys to clothing bits to flowers and even vintage army collections! It took us approximately 3 hours to complete the market. Like 3 hours (more or less) to cover everything! After browsing around, we head to Sofia for lunch. It's a Lebanese restaurant (HALAL) All three of us ate pastas. Oh boy, we were so full that day we had to box our food! The portion of the dishes is HUGE! You must share at least 2 person per dish. The pricing is tad bit expensive but it is reasonable based on the serving portion!
After lunch, we went to St. Kilda Beach & the sunday market there.
The market is caters more to handmade artistes. A bit pricey for my liking :(
After strolling around the beach, we head to the city to go to Hosier Lane! It's a lane which is full of graffitis sprayed by the local artist.
The reason why i skipped the 3rd day is because we spent the whole day at Direct Factory Outlet at South Wharf!! HAHAHA. Yes, we stayed till the shops closed :P
Let's talk about our 4th day shall we :3 So, on the fourth day we went to Great Ocean Road.
I have one word for this place. BREATHTAKING ! I loveee lovee lovee this place so much!
We went there by renting a car and drove for 3 hours from Melbourne.
Amazing roadtrip! *Thanks Shazana for driving*
Although, when we were about to go back from that place.
We got lost for a while cz we didn't have coverage to use Waze. HAHA.
Funny, but we survived ! *yay*

Day 5.
In the morning we went to Queen Victoria Market *again!*
I love this market so much. SO HUGE! LOVE IT!
Later in the afternoon, we straight away took a train towards Brighton Beach!
The houses there were amazing, so big so beautiful.
Brighton beach itself was amazingly beautiful !
The colorful beach shack was so cute!
You can adore a whole stretch of colorful beach shack goodness *nyums*
We wanted to stay for the sunset while eating our kebabs, but it was so cold.. we just couldn't *BRRRRRR*
After finishing our kebabs, we headed back to the city!
And guess where we went?!
YES! EUREKA SKYDECK!!
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
SO SO BEAUTIFUL!
Melbourne City is so beautiful at night.
You can actually see that Melbourne City is so organized !
I'm speechless at the skydeck. Just amazed by the beautiful city.
Day 6.
This day is all about food & of course last minute shopping! We went cafe hopping, hunting for the best cafe in town. First stop, Top Paddock. The ambience of Top Paddock was amazing. The cafe is spacious, lots of natural light coming in and the fire pit was amazing. It's really simplicity at its best. Then, next stop was a coffee shop. We didn't go in to this one because we were so full, lol. Right after we went to Manchester Press. THE SMOKED SALMON BAGEL WAS DA BOMB!! For the price you're paying, it's so worth it! The last cafe we went to was Hardware Societe Cafe for desserts ! Nyums. I try a zucchini chocolate cake !! which was actually good…(wasn't a fan of zucchini back then) For dinner, we went to this italian restaurant to celebrate Shazana's birthday. The food was amazing and the ambience is sooooo nice. There were lamp lights all over the restaurant, so romantic. hehe.
