Melbourne, Australia 051213-141213

My 1st post in 2014!!! and it's a throwback of my 2013 travel. HAHAHA! *lame-o*

Let's begin!!! 5th December 2013 : Traveling to Melbourne after work. Yes, apparently the flight attendant keeps on serving food. And I can't sleep. T___T



6th December 2013 : Reached Melbourne Airport at 10.30am (AUST Time), rent a car and head to Great Ocean Road!! The view is spectacular! All my picciess does not justify the breathtaking view. I practically stopped at all the pitstop available, had my lunch at Lorne, Apollo Bay is beautiful! and last but not least the 12 Apostles (which now left 7 or 8). I call it a night in Port Campbell.

 





 



















 







































 



























































 



7th December 2013 : Continue my drive to Warnambool. Found a really awesome bar, which I called it the Tavern, because the owner really knows lotsa thing, which is a very good reference to me. Then, I hit the highway back to Melbourne City to meet my Chico Daddy!! He is fat now. LOL! I just need to make that statement.

   













































































 





 

8th December 2013 : Head to Queen Victoria Market in the morning. Had our lunch and stroll at Docklands. And end my night with Bon Jovi Concert at Etihad Stadium!









  





  





 

  

























9th December 2013 : Nothing but a nice wine and cheese at Yarra Valley. End the night with penguins watch at Penguins Parade, Philip Island.









     





















 





















 





























10th December 2013 - 12th December 2013 : Relaxing, sight-seeing, and food exploring in Melbourne City and Pascoe Vale. Chico Daddy brought me for Italian food in Sofia, Japanese food in St. Kilda's and not to mention gaming session with wine!!!~ ^_^









   

  



  







 















 

 




 



   









  









































13th December 2013 : Wildlife Park, Philip Island. Finally I gotta feed all the cute animals!!! Except Tasmanian Devil. ^_^ and we had nice and expensive Chinese fine dining before heading to St.Kilda's for a drink and a night stroll along the famous St. Kilda's beach, which we happened to saw LOTSAAAA PENGUINSSSS!!!!~ *weeeee* Chico daddy keep on saying I was very lucky as he been there a few times and they didn't manage to see any. ^^

     

     

     

     























 





















































 











































  







14th December 2013 : Had my last brunch with Chico daddy and Mimi before headed to Melbourne Airport. I miss the place so much, I'm reluctant to pack, and yes, I almost miss my flight because the queue to check-in my luggage and custom was very long. T___T



There goes another trip to end my 2013....

Thinking back, lotsa things happened in 2013, yet I achieve nothing in my life. I hope 2014 will be a better one. For better or worse, I am always grateful to have my family with my. I am sure 2014 will be a busy one, with my dear cousin getting marry, my close colleagues getting marry as well, my annual trip to Bali but with different people, and last but not least - my solo traveler trip to Busan to visit my near ahjumma, Joyce. ^^

Well, I do hope I am able to get a house before 2014 ends, and obviously a new job as well. LOL!!~

Happy New Year, peepz! Properous Ano Nuevo!
Luv,
*rachelle*
