Itin

This trip to Australia was mainly for attending Margaret's wedding. However, to make the best out of the trip, I did other things.

Day 1 arrived Melbourne Had a quick look of the city centre, went to famous vietnamese PHO YUNG 208 Victoria Street to taste Vietnamese traditional beef noodle

Day 2 attended church wedding in malvern, walked down High Street and had lunch there, really great weather, lots of sunshine, Dressed nicely and walked down a street with fashionable shops on both sides remnding me of scene in 'pretty women' hahaha!!!! I will never able to dress well and leisurely walked in any street in HK with fresh air & sunshine
Joined Banquet in Royce Hotel. Danced a bit & Ate a lot. Our table was full of laughters, thanks to Mrs. Chu

Day 3 Visited 4 vineyard: Rothschild, Domain Chandon, Run rabbit run & Yerring, drank a glass of champagne & a glass of chardonnay, sipped diff. wines (sparking/dessert wine/Pinot Noir/Shiraz). Domain Chandon has a nice vineyard with beautiful trees & roses around. Run rabbit run has a nostalgia feel. I took lots of black and white photos there

Day 4 Jogging at Melbourne Yarra River bank, Had full breakfast with Mrs. Chu & Mrs. Chu's mum, Departed Melbounre, Andrew & Margaret kindly took us to airport. Arrived Brisbane in the evening. Had Seafood at JOJO resataurant, delicious oysters

Day 5 Went to Mt Tamborine in Gold Coast, O'Reily * National Lamington Park where I tasted lamington, nice walk in the rainforest, saw interesting trees & kagaroo. I LOVE TREES Actually I like Moon and stars most. I saw there every night in Brisbane. As there are not many high rise buidlings, I was able to see sunset everyday. Nice dinner at Ecco famous restaurant in town.

Day 6 Tour to Sunshine coast beaches: noolsa & Wooloolaba, beautiful!!! Waves were too strong so not much for swimming
but the sand was extremely soft. Noolsa reminded me of Cannes of France. tasted Japanese food at sachi

Day 7 Back to HK

Concluding my trip:
1. Met cute babies in diff spots & on flights, chatted with people we met on the road
2. In touch with nature, moon, stars, sunset, waves, river, sea, trees, flowers.....
3. Australian guys are quite handsome and nice, except that they are too young for me hahaha handsome ones are only twenty something
4. Drank cups of coffee flat white, capuccino, expresso, flat white again
5. Watched many movies on plane: The pursuit of happiness (Jonathan, I think the plot of this film is a bit too simple), Miss Potter (I love it beacuse I love Peter Rabbit and the romance touched me as well), The Queen (a bit bored, sorrry), Red Diamond (better than I thought), Music and Lyrics (Funny!!! Entertaining even Hugh Grant is a bit old with all that wrinkles), Freedom writers (another good teacher model movie),also watched one or two more that I cannot even remember the names. Non stop movie watching experience hahaha
6. Congratulations again to Margaret and Andrew. thanks for giving me a reason for holiday.

Thanks for attributing 'laughters' to me at the wedding, I must then attribute my laugthing behaviour to those glasses of Australian wine.
