Road Trip to Melbourne So now everything pales in comparison to New Zealand. Food, Scenery, Stuff to do, everything. Road trip to Melbourne was great but NZ wins scenery hands down anytime. The 12 hour road trip there was crazy shit when we started at 3am and I drove through fog in the dark at like 100km/h.
Breaking dawn and the fog
After we reached Melbourne at like 2pm the next day. I discovered that the roads here are weird shit with trams and hook turns and funny lanes all over the place. Quite exciting driving in an alien environment though. We kinda walked about in the city and had dinner nearby our apartment and slacked.
The next morning we went to this place called Queen Victoria Market which is mad shit because it sells everything there from food like meat/vegetables/cheese/fruits to stuff like shoes and toys. The food they sell is damn mad.
$10 for 10 Oysters
Crazy Ass Hotdog
After lunch we went to DFO for shopping and had a $400 dinner for about 8 people but they have 50% off on tuesdays.
Stressed at the menu
Steak
Wednesday we went to this Greek/Kebarb place for lunch and got to know the lady boss who is damn fierce with her staff but really nice to us. She also has really giant boobs.
Went to Melbourne's Beaches. Totally turn off after you've been to NZ beaches so no pictures worth uploading here. Had Pizza at this aweseom italian pizza place for dinner.
Went to Crown Casino. Tempted to try my luck with cards but the little voice in my head willed me to just watch. Me and Felicia went to the bar and had a drink and she turns red damn fast it is retarded. Order simi wet pussy all. The chicken laska there was damn power.
Thursday was the great drive to the great ocean road. I really enjoyed this part of the trip. The driving, the beaches and their insane waves, the awesome burger place we had lunch at, the damn green fields where kids roll about. And the 12 Apostles. Regretted not spending more time there. Most probably would want to be go back there again.

Me soaking it up
Crazy, really, huge waves, pictures don't do it justice.
12 Apostles, or 4 of them at least. The view is mad shit and it was mad cold when we were there. Again, pictures don't do it justice.
Me and Perry Eating 2 of them
We drove back in the dark and we stopped halfway at some smelly farm to see some a nice looking night sky because it was totally pitch black except of carlights which we turned off and almost every car that drove past stopped and asked if we were alright. Really nice people.
Friday was the trip back and it was less exciting and our asses was freaking aching and both our cars got pulled over by the police for speeding. Well, at about 4pm the other car got caught 1st, then when I passed the police car that caught them I just sped up again. Freaking sneaky policemen backstabbed me 3 hours later when it was dark. Having a police car with their flashing lights high beam siren all chasing you was quite an experience. Fine was $361 for going 138 on a 110 highway. Lucky for me he wasn't there when I was going 160+.
That summs up my Melbourne road trip. Sad that I didn't have enough time to stay there longer to meet up friends like Loo, Alex, Huimin and Jon who are studying there though. Will post the NZ trip when I get the photos!
