Back from melbourne..tired. sometimes the whole notion of holidaying isn't neccessarily relaxing..but there are definite fun elements:) And think a large part of that is thanks to the good company:)

Thank you girls for the adventure in melbourne! Haha and special thanks to gloria for lending us her friends..they were really sweet to take time out of their busy schedules to bring us around:) I realise melbourne's actually pretty similar to sydney..in terms of shopping & food..though melbourne definitely has less of a 'big city' feeling to it..the main city area's actually pretty small..but there is a nice sorta cosy homey feel in the air:) haha a couple of things I found weird..there are subways and 7-elevens every couple of traffic lights..

Ah yes and what would holidays be without food?:) Breakfast of Queen Victoria..Italian at Lygon..buffet at crowne..and my personal favourite: dessert at Koko Black:) Koko black's sorta a step up from Max Brenner's..the hot chocolate there is amazing:) Plus we shared a delectable chocolate parfait, and a strawberry-chocolate mousse thing acoompanied with lemon sherbet..And the chocolates..haha we handpicked the chocolates from their incredible display..rum&raisin, cuppacino, earlgrey (heh gloria & LM handpicked this for me knowing my love for tea:) ) we went to Koko black after a full dinner at Mekong's (vietnamese)..so I was seriously dying after dessert at Koko black..I even ended up polishing off the remains of LM's cold chocolate in addition to what I had ordered :P greedy me. Haha and I was kinda high on a sugar overdose for the rest of the night..but I just hated to see good chocolate go to waste!

Then there were the late nights gallavanting out on the streets of melbourne..I've never been much of a pubbing person but I guess the company counts for alot:) Melbourne night life is kinda quiet though..haha we were sitting in a bar in the city and they kept dimming the lights till we were literally sitting in the dark..think that was their way of chasing us out cos they wanted to close..and another night we wanted to head for hard rock cafe but then they chased us out cos they were closing! at 11pm! although the sign in front clearly stated they would close at midnight..well thanks derek for walking us all the way anyway:) sleeepy now. think I should spend the day catching up on sleep..I love holidays! Happy weekend everyone:)
