zuanqing extraordinaire

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.

Heheh smile detector camera snaps the funniest candids. Walking our way to the boathouses after crossing the road to the beach side!

And we are here!! Beautiful day out

P L Lites

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!!!

Pit stop at Yea before heading up the mountain. As you can tell from the background, it was super foggy at where we were!

Arrival at Mount Buller!

We had vouchers for some of the eateries at Mount Buller and we opted to eat at this pancakes place!

Big breakfast

Original pancakes with a generous scoop of ice cream

you can never go wrong with chips. who says we can't have them for brekkie?

Savoury pancakes! my tastebuds preferred the sweet ones

After brekkie, we took the cable and went cam-whoring up the mountain. It was FREEEZING. Be adequately protected with jackets, scarves and gloves I kid you not. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Unknown taliban LOL. This HM was so cold she basically covered every part of herself up with everything she could find.

Instead of spending A$300 on skiing, we decided to rent toppogans instead! Here we are getting ready to toppogan at designated toppogan slopes.

Building a snowman!

Because of the boob that were originally on him before HM plucked them off lol.

That is our snowman named BOOBS.

Making our way back to city.

Pumpkin soup! Looks like baby food.

They are famed for their home-made lasagna! It is really good.

Avocado pasta

Agnolotti peppino

Starting the day with a healthy brekkie! Cornflakes, chips and leftover oranges from previous night dinner

We checked out of our motor inn and hit the road again! Twelve apostles and Lord Arch Gorge on the list.
