thou shall be warned.. this is gonna be a long post!
19th july: my baby is here! woke up at 0530 so that i could reach the airport before he does.. but stupidly waited at the international instead of domestic arrivals. totally melted when i saw him though! *blush
20th july: we’re off to gold coast! luckily i was convinced to bring some shorts the weather was loverly! still chilly when the wind blows though..
the first night:
we ate at sushi train.. it was rather late so we didnt have much choice. but we had this! its called the volcano mmm (:
at the bus stop.. where we were waiting to go to harbourtown 
and the next day we went skydiving! took this mini-van but there were actually only two of us.. i cant rmber how long the trip to byron bay took though about an hour?
got him to pose reluctantly at the entrance 
anyhow the wind was too strong for us to go up when we reached.. so they took us to byron bay the nearby suburb.
the small very laidback town of byron bay
i like this kind of caps! sneaked a photo when edwin was checking out the tees.
byron bay
then we went for lunch at balcony..
the food was great! we managed to have good food the whole trip yummy!
they picked us up at 2 from the boring town.. we jumped from 14000 feet it was sooo cool! and my instructor was very handsome. we bought the videos so i can show you all the jump when im home we’ll get our license eventually!
yes i look very unglam in this photo but its the only one with us with all the equipment!
my certificate!
on the way back.. just the two of us again.. even the plane that took us up only had two people cause the rest of the people already jumped in the morning!
right outside our apartment..
yes i was very cold. and the wind was so messing up my hair!
off to the beach at surfers paradise before heading to dreamworld!
this is a tic tac toe set! how cute (:
after that we were off to melbourne! it was raining when we left for the airport and we got cheated into taking another bus.. we were waiting for a bus, which was late.. and another bus driver saw us waiting with our luggage and convinced us to take her bus! which took another route :x in the end we had to switch back to the bus we wanted to take initially. !
pensione hotel melbourne. it was really new but the hallways were kinda dim.. think they were trying to save electricity but it just made the place look dodgy! but pretty good for the price. and the tv! took up so much of the space of the tiny room..
er i also made the mistake of booking us in one night earlier and they had originally cancelled the reservation cause we were a no show. in the end we stayed with my cousin for the last night it was all good in the end though! (:
southern cross station: it was huge! and just across our hotel (:
melbourne city: we walked around a lot, most of the grid i would say!
crown entertainment centre: where the casino is. it was just 5 mins walk away from our place (:
managed to capture the special effects. the heat from it was very welcome!
at the queen victoria market. we bought some gloves but thats about it. and oh the smell of the HOT DONUTS was so good! we.. okay i mean.. i wanted to try one! but it was just a donut. nothing to be excited about! heh.
mount buller here we come! we were supposed to be at the meeting point at 545. and we woke up at 5. managed to wash up, do some last min packing, check out and reach there (which was about 30 mins walk away) on time! we walked really fast *nods luckily we had already bought breakfast the day before mmm! (:
skiing! all wrapped up in the jumpsuit cause im so scared of the cold! underneath that i have 3 tops and 2 jackets.. yes i know.. dumpling!
the view was breathtaking up at the mountains! was so afraid i would drop my camera cause i had to remove my gloves and take quick snapshots while my hands were freezing.
it was horribly difficult to walk in those ski boots and because we were so smart to wear ankle socks we both ended up with bruises and blisters ):
and anyway i was a klutz when i was skiing.. clumsy as usual.. and i had to take the chairlift now all by MYSELF cause everyone else skiied down. i just couldnt cause i fell a few times before that already.. thought the guy would drive me down with snowmobile! it was tiring okay! ):
it snowed when we left though! how happy!
everyone got off the bus to take photos in the snow. ah so fun! and then it was a 3 hour ride back to the city. so tiring!
we were at the southern cross station waiting for the bus to avalon airport. luckily i stopped my cousin before he took us to the wrong airport! and i decided to take photos of our blisters. cant really see right?
tada!
i was attracted to this cafe at the crown entertainment centre.. look at the display of desserts! so on our last day we went there for tea.. after shopping around at DFO with no loots to show for it!
at greco’s
apple crumble.. very very good!
the hazelnut meringue.. wasnt as sweet as i thought it would be. pleasant surprise!
yes we were greedy and ordered 3 desserts. they were HUGE. and we didnt really touch the carrot and walnut cake. it was yummilicious though! pretty upset that they wouldnt let us take it away.
and after dinner with my cousin, cousin in law and her sister.. we were headed back to adelaide! didnt really want to come back since uni was starting. but it wasnt so bad with edwin around (: the few photos from the one week in adelaide shall be left to the next post! (:
thanking you for the awesomest two weeks my love! :*
just wanted to express my excitement!
