As promised earlier, my next post on Australia would detail on my road trip! Saucer and I rented a car from Hertz Car Rental for 5 days. We managed to get quite a good rate due to Saucer's company being a privileged customer. :) We booked a 2-door economy manual car for AUD$36/day (cheapest we could

If there's one thing that we remember the most during our trip to Australia, it was Kendal's hospitality. Kendal is Saucer's colleague over in Australia and during our holiday there, he was our host for 2 weekends. What's even more amazing is his kids and lovely wife, Tracey. Together, their warmth

Everybody, meet Mario! A charming and funny guy, he's one of Saucer's counterpart in Australia, who cooks fabulously! I mean, really! During our stay in Australia, Mario and his wife kindly invited us over one night for a BBQ dinner at their home. When we reached, Mario was busy cooking his Boerewor

One thing that Saucer was looking forward to in this Melbourne trip was to play with snow! Since we're there during the winter months, there was snow on most mountains in Victoria, and we went to the one nearest to Melbourne. About an hour's drive away from the suburbs of Croydon, we went to Mount D

Hello people! I'm BACK! After 2 amazing and fun weeks in Victoria, I'm finally home sweet home. My body is still following Aussie time which is 2 hours in advance, which means I find it easier to wake up at 7am now (which is actually 9am in Aussie) compared to before. Anyway, let's continue with my

Phew!! After hours and hours of driving in the daylight and in the dark, we finally settled down for the night at an inn along Great Ocean Road in Port Campbell. The drive was absolutely magnificent with views I couldn't take my eyes off from. Yes, even when it was my turn to drive! It's pretty dist

We just came back from a romantic sunset walk at beautiful Lake Mulwala in Yarrawonga. It's our second day here and I can't help but fall in love with the breathtaking beauty that sparkles under the sun. I didn't bring a computer with me here so I'm trying to blog this using my iPhone. :) The wea

Hello people, I'm still in Australia! :) We are currently staying with our host Kendal, who's been so very kind in bringing us around during the weekend. He brought us to Healesville Sanctuary, one of the zoos in Victoria, just about half an hour away. We were heading towards the mountains and it wa

I can't believe I actually dined in one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants! I'm sure he's no stranger to anyone, not only famous for his culinary skills but also, one might add, his foul mouth. *LOL* When I found out that he has a restaurant called maze in Melbourne, I immediately made a reservation onl

Hello there! Managed to squeeze some time to update all the way to Melbourne people. :) I've been here exactly 2 days and I'm loving the weather! So far it's been just cold, breezy and sunny. Well, let's hope it lasts! Since I don't have much time to write, I'll just let the pictures do the talking
