Melbourne (Pt. 4)

i basically have in mind those places that i wanted to visit on my 4th day, before i took the morning flight back to Malaysia on the next day. but there's just not enough time to go to all. i had an early start... went to Queen Victoria Market for the souvenirs. this is ilke a must-visit-venue if you want to get souvenirs and lots of it are available at cheaper price. it's also the place where you can get fresh fruits, veggies, fish, meat... basically, almost everything that you need...

i was smart enough to go back to the hotel and leave all those that i have purchased at Queen Victoria Market, before continuing with the sight-seeing activities. walked a couple of blocks from the hotel and waited for the city tourist shuttle. it's a free service that allows you to tour around the city by bus and visit all the major attraction sites.

had lunch with my former schoolmates. we tried the Indian cuisine and then went to get some coffee (i chose light hot chocolate instead). followed them to Malaysia Hall for a short rest and solat. then, we went to Victorian School for Deaf Children, before we took the tram back to the city centre. i thought of heading straight back to the hotel, but as it was Thursday (shops closed a lil' bit later than on Mondays - Wednesdays) & i still have enough time, i couldn't stop myself from entering one of the bookshops (books at this particular shop are generally cheaper than in Malaysia. so, go grab 'em!!! hahahaha....).

to end the day, a great dinner at Madam Kays was all i needed. nasi goreng nenas & latte have never tasted better =)
