Date ~ 22.04.12

It was a beautiful Sunday, so a walk or stroll along beach is a must activity here. After breakfast, we took a tram from Flinder station and 10 mins later, reached the destination - St Kilda beach. We spend about 6 hours there, admiring the blue sky, blue sea, white sand white seagull, gentle wind and everything.

Blue sky, isn't beautiful?

墨尔本之旅 - Day 6

Date ~ 21.04.12

Another free and easy day for us.... Enjoyed the breakfast opposite the hotel but Mama's boy cafe closed on weekend. We selected another cafe next to it. Catched the City Circle again we off to few places for photo shooting. Around noun, we bought again the Zone 1+2 ticket of A$11.90 and visited Boxhill for lunch and Burwood for the uni campus. Glad to see some extension work has been carrying out in this campus. Visited Davis Street for our home sweet home for the 2nd time and we linger than longer. Took a bus down to Boxhill and board train to Chapel Street for dinner.

Looks nice but too salty to my taste bud.
