Melbourne backpacktrip003:
The digicam memory card died, hence this unexciting page layout and lengthy text...not that the other pages on this site are
any more interesting...but, this page is just more boring than the rest.
Hundreds and hundreds of photos lost
Devastation.
Plagued with short-term memory, the loss of them digital photographic memories is unspeakable....
I'm inconsolable, I'm 3/4 and a half maggots and one toad infested drool zombie now.
Ccccursesssssss..... i feel so like a pile of poo. Oh so tragic.hohohoho. baahahaha the sheeps.
Photos of the city, the back alleys, the cool graffiti, the victoria market and the inka marka, the beautiful gothic cathedrals,
historical buildings and people..the sunday market, the Federation Square..the melbourne gaol...the cute little cook's cottage..
photos taken half dangling out of the Puffing Billy Train....the Great Ocean Road special dangerously-over-the-cliff photos,
limestone caves... the gigantic musical sunflowers.... wineries, the very huggable-with-an-attitude koalas....the soap shop...etc
And and! photos of beautiful people and children i took without asking their permissions....graaa i blab too much...the streets...
I'm going to smell all the handmade soaps i bought till my nose rot,... now.

Melbourne is scenically, picturesquely beautiful. It hailed..that was neat. but the locals didn't like us.
We got strange cold stares and jeers, a biker telling us to get lost...and being served burnt food.
But we did meet some very nice people, who didn't mind us for being of asian origin.
First, was this handsome black bulldog at Punt road Winery. He's not human but it doesn't matter, because he's the coolest.
We also met this very sweet lady whom we never got around to asking her name,
who shared her knowledge of wine tasting and drinking with us. Wine goes with cheese!..yah there goes.
Our day tours tourguides, Mr Kevin and Mr Bruce from Great Sights are the most delightful guides ever. They had been so kind.
Mr Drew Sinton from the Haunted bookshop was really nice too, and patient. He even gave me a tarot reading.Y(o w 0)Y woo!
Last but certainly not the least, this very cute bespectacled lady with short cropped hair from outre gallery.

The 10 hour train ride was a nightmare with several pretty squeeky squealing teen girls from the deep bottom of hell but,
Adelaide made the day, it is humanely beautiful. It's very clean and neat, the locals are kind, warm and friendly.
It has a breathtakingly beautiful botanic garden. The Central market was fun too, lots of cheese.
The sky makes the prettiest wallpaper i've ever seen, it's surreal. The weather is unpredictable but nevertheless, perfect.
The hostel was cosy...(the one in Melbourne was a little... kinda cold)
there's even a Vincent Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night reprint painting in our room.
The hostel owner: Medaline was a sweet dear. There were even free cakes for breakfast.....
Kettle chips are gooood :d We ate till our tongues were mercilessly sliced off by the chips. Believe that.
