17 Dec 2008, 8am - On route from Grampians to Great Ocean Road

We started on the drive to the Great Ocean Road with some enthusiasm. Surviving Pinnacles should always make one feel relieved, no?

16 Dec 2008, 5am - Halls Gap, Grampians

We woke up at 5am to catch the sunrise. Yesterday's climb to Chatuaqua Peak gave EU the idea for an early morning hike to watch sunrise. Storming up the mountain in near pitch darkness is NOT my idea of fun. Do you know Australia has several of the most venomous snakes species in the world?

Halls Gap YHA (Youth Hostel Australia) Hostel Entrance

15 Dec 2008, 8am - Melbourne

14 Dec 2008, 12nn - Melbourne

We got to Melbourne at noon. A quick hop on the Skybus and we are in Spencer Street/Southern Cross Train Station.

Weather is very different here. The sun is hot, but the wind is cold. It looks like a typical bright noon day in Singapore, but the wind is so cold, I am hiding behind pillars.

We took a tram to YT's house, and immediately got lost. In fact, we knocked on the wrong door, on the wrong street. So auspicious, right?

Round and round Victoria, a 15 days trip

Prologue: Okay, so I'm stuck writing about my trip to Melbourne. Despite my attempts to outsource blog writing to EU, I'm left carrying the baton to chronograph our trip. So, here goes Part 1.

I had wanted to go Melbourne for almost 4 years, since my best friend YT went studying there. After working for 1.5 years, I finally saved enough to go. To make things even more fun, I dragged EU along.

13 Dec 2008, Sat 3pm - Singapore

I survived desert, ocean kayaking. Going back to Melbourne tomorrow! 2 mins of wireless left! wireless is so expensive, at 6/hr! Cya!

At long last, I'm going for a holiday!

Melbourne, here I come!

They are opening the gates. Tata everyone! If I never blog during this trip, most probably had fell into a hole in Grampians. Whahahahahha
