It was not a good day after all. The wind was quite strong that our tripod was actually

broken. Thank God that the camera was still in good condition...just with a lil

scratch...Dear's glasses was broken...so it was quite a sad day for him to start...but we

got everything in the end.

We bought a tripod few days later and a shades for both of us too!

Wanna know where we went after this??

9.45am - Queen Victoria Market

That place did not looked like a market to us..It was like a supermarket! So clean and

modern...no wet floor...no smelly fish and chicken...nothing like us in Malaysia.

We had our breakfast the Queen Victioa Market Foodcourt.

Breakfast at Cafe Verona...we had a cup of hot tea, one bread roll with ham and cheese

and one mini pizza with egg and bacon....good!!

We found a stall...whereby we bought a lot of souvenirs such as pen, soft-toys and etc

as he offered a very good deal. We also bought a few T-shirts, fruits and nuts. I love

cherry and I can eat like nobody cares...and it was cheap!....feels like heaven whenever

I taste Wasington cherries!

We then take away Bratswurth as it was highly recommended by Marshal and Sophia.

It wa shuge and it was nice...just way too big for us...we were stuffed even though we

shared it! It really makes me wonder how on earth they can it this by self??

still have to walk about 15 minutes on foot to reach there.

5.30pm - Marshal took us to "Anaconda". They sold all the outdoor stuffs...hiking,

We went to the foodcourt and we ordered fish and chip, breadroll and some sushi.

(Guys just a word of advice....the sushi in Melbourne tasted B.A.D! Tasteless and not

fresh and expensive! First time we had tasted something bad ever since we'd landed!

5.45pm - While waiting for Bro Paul to pick us up for dinner at his place, dear need to replenish

his energy! =P
