3 Day Holiday Part 3

Woke up very early today. Guess I'm not very used to sleeping in my cousin's place, and i was up at 6am~ that's Singapore time 4am only! Maybe you haven sleep lo~ heh. When they have all woke up, we went for breakfast at this place called Gunshot Cafe. This place looks like it's designed by some art guy cause' eat there makes you feel like you are dining in an art gallery. It's pack with people when we went and queuing took around 20 minutes while waiting for food took almost an hour. But it's like this in Australia. Everyone is all laid-back and relaxed so there is really no need to rush really. Just go with the flow and take things easy.

Brick walls and rattan lamp shades
Beautiful art pieces in a beautiful cafe
Strawberry with nuts and icing, my breakfast
My brother's breakfast, cheese, salmon and egg

After this hearty meal, we went to a flea market.. Not my cup of tea i feel, more for an auntie's liking. Sells plants, flowers, vegetables, clothings and lots of home made stuff ranging from fruit jams to fragrances to costume jewelries. Whats so interesting is that they offer such a strangely huge variety they even sell meat and offer full body massage. Another ting is that they actually open at 5.30 every morning and closes at 2 in the afternoon.






We then took a long long stroll to take a boat ride. The flea market is beside a river and so, we followed the river on foot for half and hour. The river cuts between the whole town and there are "stops" by the side of the river. Remember the bus concession tickets i mention earlier on? Well those tickets allow you to take the the boat rides too, as long as its within the zone that u paid for. And you can also buy tickets on board the boat.

On The Way
Australians can use cars for as long as it can move
Water skiing in the river
Wild ducks by the road side grass patch
Check out the side mirror~~
The boat on the bottom left is the public transport bus
Crowded children's park by the river
Random graffiti can be found anywhere
Barbecue is Australian's favorite past time
they call it "Barbie" in short

Upon getting back on land, we found ourself in the middle of the busy city.


I think they are having a road show for some egg company
and the mascot reminds me.....
Ta daa~~~~
I just happen to have some of these eggs in my kitchen lol

Casino!
If i'm not wrong it's the only casino in this whole state


Afterwards, while their parents when shopping, my cousins, my brother and myself when for some go kart-ing..
Dun see these karts small small, they travel around 90 - 100 km/hr! Thats equivalent to Singapore highway de speed limit ler~~ And these karts cannot start up by themselves so there will be people that drives on large dirt bikes that gives u a push to kick start your engine. Which also means that every time you get a spin out or when you crash, you need to wait for these guy to get you back on track.



After that was dinner. We went to this Japanese restaurant. Now, if you have eaten Sushi Tei and think that Sushi Tei is good, you will definitely love Sushi Bar. Their sushis taste so heavenly tasty and fresh. The japanese food here in Australia is really fantastic.


And then opposite the restaurant, I spotted a familiar company.. yet something feels wrong..
7-11 Petrol Station!! haha 神吧! Don't ask me why.. I also donno why 7-11 got patrol station..
After that, my cousins send us back my our apartment. It was a long long journey through an endless highway at the speed of 110km/h. The whole journey took around an hour or so. By the time we were back it was already late into the night and we when to bed soon after..
That concludes my 3 day holiday.. time flies.. soon I'll begin my school term. Hope the time spended studing will fly pass too~ then I'll be back in Singapore for new year!
