This was the final day in Melbourne. Our flight was at 1550 hours and we were due to be back in Singapore at 2130 hours. Early morning we woke up and went to DFO Spencer St, as my mum wanted to get more T-shirts which were quite cheap. She got what she wanted and more.…

The 2nd last day of our trip in Melbourne, we woke up lazily and ate some light breakfast (leftovers from our late night supper the night before) before we headed out to Melbourne Shopping District on Bourke Street, where there were a congregation of large shopping centres that crosses vast territories and goes over a…

This morning, I was looking for a post office. I had asked numerous people from various convenience stores, but most did not know how much it was to send a postcard back home. The map I had showed one relatively near my hotel and so I went out early morning to hunt it down. Unfortunately,…

Once again, by 6.30 am (4.30 am in SIN) we were awake to have our little breakfast in our room (we got our own, as the tour package breakfast was over … thankfully!!!) and then headed over to Holiday Inn on Flinder’s Street again to wait for our early morning pick up coach. We headed…

Woke up late this morning around 9.30 am. It is a lazy Sunday and I let my mum sleep in a bit more as she wasn’t too well. It was Easter today, on hindsight, should have went on the final tour of the Yarra Valley, which we were going tomorrow, today. Most of the shops…

This morning we had our final tour package tour which was the City Tour. (We still had 2 more tours that we book as an extra.) The city sight tours pick up was also at 7.55 am, very early and had to wake up so early (approximately 4.30 am in Singapore). It is Good Friday!…

Once again an early morning, but not so early today, at 9 am, we were picked up by a Grey Line coach (instead of the usual APT). I think they are collaborate amongst the 3 tour companies. 1st stop was to go to the Yarra Valley and Puffing Billy to pick up and drop off…

The day began very early at about 6.30 am, to give my mum enough time to get ready and have breakfast at 7 am to prepare for the pick up at 8 am. We were going for the tour of the Great Ocean Road with APT Touring, an Australian Local Tour company. After the pick…
