*Photo Intensive Post*
I'm going to try to sum up the reminding 7 days in this post so it will be a little more photo intensive.
Sunday where everyone was home, we made a trip to St Kilda beach.
On Sundays, there's a Flea Market at St Kilda.
When they told me Flea Market, I had thought it will be second hand stuff but I was wrong and they were all Australian local produce.
Things such as soaps, pottery, wood work, jewellery, clothes, art work etc!
Family photo after Kylie was done with her milk.
Teo family.
There were dogs every where and this lady stopped to allow Kylie to get closer with her very docile poodle.
First time I see her patting a dog on the head.
My little boo!
Luna Park!
Mr Moon's mouth as the door, this is vintage like in the old movies and it should be as Luna Park is 100 years old.
Worth visiting as it's free entry and you'll only need to pay for the rides.
There's the old wooden roller coaster (1912) with a brakeman in the middle that of the roller coaster that operates the ride.
We walked to Acland Street for some sweets.
Le Bon Cake Shop!
I don't know how many types of desserts they have but it has got to be at least 50 on display!
And, they all look yummehz!!!
From cakes to pastry to biscuits to pavlova - take your pick!
I stood there for at least 10 minutes to decide what to get!!
Vanilla slice (a must try), rhubarb pastry and Vanilla kisses (it's like biscuit with Vanilla cream in between).
Hot white chocolate.
My greedy face.
I've got a super sweet tooth and when it comes to pastries and cakes - I'm a sucker for them.
Enjoying the sweets!
Sunday queue!
And we walked back to Luna Park for a short visit and down to the seaside.
Port Phillip Bay.
Kylie was sleeping.
Public conveniences.
My groggy little darling.
This is the Teo's home in Melbourne and our wonderful home stay location for 10 days!
Monday we headed to Crown.
Actually Mr Look went to visit and we went to the Factory Outlets.
Infamous Crown.
Yarra River.
Quick family photo.
Kylie was enjoying the scenery and the cool breeze.
We headed for a quick lunch and off for shopping.
Usually, our day out ends at around 4-5pm as the shops closes early.
After that, we need to fetch the kids from school and prepare dinner.
We also went to Chadstone Mall to take a quick look and do a little shopping.
I have to say I'm really impressed by the baby care rooms they have in Melbourne.
The rooms are equipped with sinks, a number of changing bay, at least a couple of curtained rooms for breastfeeding, an enclosed play area for older kids and a toilet for mummies to push strollers in with them.
It was amazing the culture they had there.
Not to mentioned lifts just next to the elevators as well.
It was get in and get out to the baby care rooms that I forgot to take any photos!
But we did use it many times.
This was early in the morning at 8am or so.
Heading off to the Vietnam market to buy some groceries for dinner.
Pretty deserted as it was a Wed morning.
Their 'wet' market!
It was amazing the produce they had locally.
Not to mention the price as well.
I guess since it was all local, the prices were naturally cheaper than in Singapore and much fresher!
Our car rental for 3 days while the Teo's went back to work.
We headed back to St Kilda for another reason however, Mr Look took the 'scenic' beach route.
It was 'scenic' cause along the route, the view of the beach was blocked by the greenery as you can see from the backdrop in Mr Look's photo.
However, I got a chance to see the houses along the route and some were really wow-zas~!
Quick stop to take some photos while Kylie was sleeping in the car.
At a different stop.
The wind was really blowing hard that day!
After 5 minutes out of the car, I told Mr Look to let's get back in!
Stop for lunch back at Acland Street.
Pizza at Rococo.
We brought it back as Mr Teo wanted to try it as well.
Other than stopping for lunch, the other reason why we came back was for Kylie to play with seagulls.
In Singapore, we usually only see animals in the zoo which is a pity.
Kylie sees them on TV and her books so the aim of this trip was also to get her to see more animals.
The reason for the farm visit and a return visit to St Kilda.
She had a blast 'feeding' and chasing the seagulls that day.
The next day we went to Southland mall.
Yes, another mall visit!!
I had to go to Target, Big W and K Mart!!!!!
That sums it up!
What's going to Melbourne without visiting Queen Victoria Market?
In the food court of QVM.
She looks super shocked in this photo.
I wonder why.
A tour of the market itself.
They had so much fresh seafood!
12 oysters were at AUD11!!
Had to give it a miss since no one was up for it and I can't possibly finish 12 by myself.
Bum Burner!
Any takers?
Dessert time!
The fruits and vegetable section.
A stop for coffee + salty caramel macaroon + Kylie's milk time.
Mr Teo said this was a must try but sold out!
Nevertheless, we went back the next day on the way to the airport to get some.
Long queue but yummy.
Try it if you are there.
6 pieces for AUD 6.
A photo to remember.
Kylie was sleeping as well.
Heading to the airport!
A totally different but still wonderful trip!
Enjoyed it to the max and will always remember the experience.
