Brighton Beach is one of my favorites places to visit + bring friends to visit when they are in Melbourne. Especially when the weather is good! You can spot lots of families, children, pet dogs, and also tourists on the weekends. I guess go on weekends not so good because it will be hard to take nice photos with so many people milling around in the background haha. But weekend go then got atmosphere! Cos it will look like a busy happy beach. Lol.
Anyways I stay like a 15-20 minutes train ride away from Brighton Beach :D If you are not driving there, you should take the Sandringham line and alight at Brighton Beach station! Easy right? Hahaha. Once you alight just turn right and you will see the beach! Cross the road towards it, turn right and walk your way down. You will soon see the row of distinctive brightly colored boat houses along Brighton Beach :)

| For the first time ever in oz, #wefie on the train! haha |
The funniest thing happened as we were about to alight the train. For some reason, I think we were too dilly-dallying, half of us got out while the other half got stuck on the train cos the doors suddenly closed and the train took off! Hahahaha the group of us left in the train was in shock for about 3 seconds as the train drove off and we waved bye to the rest on the platform…
Lol. We had to alight at the next stop, crossed over to the other side, waited 20 mins for the train to come (off-peak hours frequency; stop complaining about having to wait for trains in SG! Lol), and then ride it back to Brighton Beach station where the rest were waiting for us haha. What a waste of our time. But what a funny experience too. Good thing I was with those left behind… The next time we rode the train back to city, each of us stationed ourselves at different doors so as to ensure we ALL alight the train together lol.

After having our fun at Brighton Beach, we headed back to the city for lunch! Went to this little Jap ramen place along Lt Bourke St aptly name the Little Ramen Bar. It was a really small place and crowded at lunchtime! We had to queue for a bit. They initially wanted to sit us separately and eventually managed to join tables together for all 8 of us. Great service! And nice customers who were willing to shift to other tables just for us heheh.

| I had the Chashu Tamago with Shoyu base I think. Or was it Miso? can't remember. But it was delicious and a generous portion for $13/14 :)
After lunch it was time to go back to the apartment and wait for the maxi cab to pick us and send us to the airport! HM was flying to Sydney first while the rest of us were headed for the Tassie leg of the trip. Tassie is truly a beautiful place! Will blog about it in the next few entries :)
Back to my report writing… 3000 more words between me and FREEDOM!!!
