Trip To Melbourne (Part II)

Mari kita sambung tentang trip to Melbourne untuk Bahagian Kedua. Bahagian Pertama ada di sini. This is also going to be the last part of our (awesome) trip to Melbourne since I don’t want to drag it secara panjang lebar. I don’t think I’m going to put up more photos in my Facebook sebab malas nak upload. Tengok lah macam mana. Kalau tiba-tiba angin rajin datang, boleh la upload. Eih, sudah tersasar dari intro yang pendek. Maka mari lihat perjalanan cerita berdasarkan gambar (hoyeehh!).

Welcome to Day 3. Memandangkan cuaca cerah pada hari ketiga, Abang Din suggest untuk ke Ballarat – about 110km from Victoria, Melbourne (+/- about 2 hours journey). Oh, did I tell you sepanjang berada di Melbourne kami sewa MPV untuk ke sana ke mari dan Abang Din yang jadi driver.

Ballarat is such a nice place, sarat dengan cerita sejarah dan kebanyakan bangunan yang ada masih mengekalkan ciri-ciri sejarah yang asal.

(2) Hubby with one of the peniaga barangan kulit. (3) Khayra was playing with her newly bought Russion Dolls. Dari kecil Khayra suka main Russion Dolls ni, bila kami jumpa kat Victoria Market tu, kami borong. Haha!

Selepas solat kami singgah untuk tapau kebab yang sungguh lazat dari kedai halal Super Chicken. Juga singgah di Coles untuk membeli-belah barangan keperluan.

Day 5 – Pictures (Top) L-R : (1) Singgah di La Trobe University (University Kak Sham iaitu Abang Din’s wife) (2) Kemudian telah ke Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.

For the rest of Day 6 – 8 : we spent our time visiting the city centre, did some shopping and had dinner at Abang Din’s house with fellow Malaysian students. I will sum up our trip by the below pictures :

Shopping spree : (Top) L-R : (1) Books! Very cheap. I bought several books for our little one & Hubby also borong books for him. (2) Lil Darling at the Clarks Store.

Visiting the city centre. Nice. Walau dalam hujan renyai, bergambar tetap maintain pose. Haha!

We had a very great time in Melbourne. Initially Abang Din wanted to take us to the Great Ocean Road tapi disebabkan waktu siang pendek (Maghrib at 5.30pm dan dah gelap) serta cuaca sejuk dan jadual lawatan yang packed, hasrat tersebut dibatalkan. Next time, perhaps? Hehe. Terima kasih banyak to Abang Din sekeluarga. Terima kasih kepada kedua-dua ibu bapa yang turut serta dalam trip ini dan melengkapkan kegirangan berganda kami. InsyaAllah ada rezeki lebih, kami bawa melancong bersama-sama lagi. Teehee. (Amin!) :D
