Reached hotel at 1pm and checked in to our room. Beautiful and love my room alot!! Unpack some stuff and went to change our outfit to start our journey to Great Ocean Road as dear’s friends will drive us there. We are so tired with no sleep in the plane and now, dear’s friends want to bring us out to explore so we obliged even if we are extremely exhausted!!
Weather is freaking hot in Melbourne that afternoon, rising to a temperature of 48 degrees celsius!!! Goodness! The wind is strong though, but imagine the wind is hot wind and blowing at you all the time, you’ll wonder if u feel hot or cool at times..
Dear and I slept through the whole hour in the car while his friend drove us to Great Ocean Road..but the journey is so long that even when we woke up, we are only a quarter way to our destination. It took us about 2hours to finally reach the Great Ocean Road. The view is simply breath-taking.. The air is cool and nice.. Houses are built there with absolute view of the vast ocean! Maybe I can consider living there with dear when we retire in future..hehe. Here are some pictures we took on our way along Great Ocean Road..=)

Had our lunch at 4pm at the restaurant along Great Ocean Road..I shared a pizza with dear and the pizza is super salty!! Oh goodness..I can’t finish the pizza as it is too salty for consumption. The food there is either too salty or too sweet..haiz..I missed Singapore’s food all of a sudden as I like plain food more.
After our lunch, we took turns to drive the car to CBD as the journey is again another 2 hours so it’s best to share the burden and drive the car. Great, I drove it and scare all the other passengers as I swerve off lane many times until dear has to hold the steering wheel for me. So sorry dear..I’ll brush up my driving skills oh!! But I’m happy because dear drove me for the first time!!! There’s alot of first times for me and dear in this trip..hehe..HAPPY!!
Drove into CBD, saw many buildings and even a car dealer for Ferrari! Ooh..it’s not easy to see Ferrari dealer in CBD in Singapore hor..so took some pictures with dear. Went to Chinatown for a walk and along the area before we drove back to our hotel. On the way, we dropped by Safeway supermarket (Surprisingly it’s closed at 12am, unlike other stores which all closed at 6pm) and buy lots of food to store in our refrigerator as our room has 1 big fridge! Cool. Here are some pictures taken in Melbourne CBD:
