Retail therapy, eating, chatting lol
boy we had so much fun...
I got Emirates to arrange a birthday cake onboard...they did and also took some picture shots haha
weather is really cold.... Gerri is not adjusting well but David got her more jackets, gloves, put the heater on etc..such kind soul ....
when we arrived we hit the Fashion Capital that morning
we were so tired and worn out as we did not really get much winks from the night
Emirates is really noisy haha
Gerri got alittle shaky when we were waiting for luggages
thinking that she was on the luggage conveyor instead of our luggage lol
we had very light meals the whole day as we try adjusting to climate, water and food...
oh yes we did savor hot chocolate at Koko Black!
yum awefully sinful.... its belgian chocolates, thick and creamy..
aha come on dont believe a word i say... FINE! lol
next we sent for David to pick us up from Chadstone home to rest up abit before hitting Knox shopping
the next morning, we got up and head for Richmond
there is a huge sale that day... David got news from a tv programme
He went to check the site, printed the address for us to scout ...
that was really sweet of him...
We hit Richmond, stroll alittle, had fish and chips before going to the city
Gerri was going gaga when she got to the city...yes i know SALIVATING!!
like a village girl going to town... i know my girl is not from a village and she is
so into retail therapy but when you do step into a huge fascinating city that is
the feeling... YES sensational!
visited cathedral, museums etc...
yeap i know i am not a museum person... but for my girl... is ok ....
There was this huge event Salvador Dali happening then... we got from
Federation Square to St Kilda's only to find more more more people
The queue for ticket was so damn long and Gerri wants to give up the idea
I told her i can queue while she rest and shop for more Salvador Dali's items
at the bookstores but she sadly turned it down
we left the museum pretty late as we got to some exhibitions there
and so now what! we have only about 4hours to shop
You kidding me???? yeah... Gerri and i went to a french pastry shop...
had some tarts.. aha dont believe me again ... then go check the pics up
we picked up a really nice fanciful mixed berry cheesecake to celebrate with the Cohan's
its 5.30pm shops were closed...sky is pitch dark... Gerri and I hand in hand stroll
towards the tram stop.. we passed by some carriages, florists and took more pics
I know Gerri enjoyed herself very much... she turned to me and commented
'mum, this is our 2nd day' sigh 
we celebrated Gerri's birthday ....sang song, cut the cake, had a merry merry time
on the 3rd day... we head for Duty Factory Outlet, Gerri picked up more items there
hey cool its affordable ...
we flew home.....home sweet home
indeed i understand this trip its very short but overall we enjoyed ourselves very much
VERY REWARDING....
April 30 until May 11 - Melbourne, Australia... 
its the time of the year.... Autumn what do you expect
the crisp crackle of leaves underfoot as i crunch through Melbourne's Yarra Valley
heaps of gold, brown and russet creating a muted seasonal kaleidoscope of color
we visited some vineyards bought bottle of Rose and we got some champagne etc.. slept most of the time because i am not a drinker heheh
oh yes the Villa provided chocolates, strawberries etc etc

Melbourne, Australia
Been to Geelong -75 kms south-west of Melbourne
The name ‘Geelong’ is derived from ‘jillong’, the Aboriginal word for bay, which means a place of the sea bird over the white cliffs.
This waterfront city offers a diverse range of food, wine, cultural and recreation attractions and colonial history evident in the city’s 100 National Trust-listed buildings.
The BOLLARDS amazing...i enjoyed the many picture shots with them lol
