The public transportation card in Victoria is called myki. You can buy a myki tourist package immediately after leaving the airport. It costs 14 Australian dollars, which includes one day's fare and discount coupons for many famous attractions. It is still very worthwhile. By the way, taking the bus (tram) in the city of Australia is free~ Yunluo stayed in the Singapore Airlines Holiday Hotel ibis Styles.

This is the highest-end sub-brand of Ibis, between three and a half and four stars in China. You can feel the design style and good atmosphere of outstanding designers on every floor and in every room, which is very European. But the best thing about this hotel is its location, which is just a 5-minute walk from the airport skybus. The location is really great!

Every day, no matter where I go, I can basically walk there. The accessories in the house are really European style, which is very rare in China. There is a radio, an iron, an ironing board. And a Bible... To be honest, this book did play a role at a critical moment. Because I just arrived early in the morning, I took a shower first, and then something happened that Yunluo thought could only happen in a movie.

Yunluo took off all her clothes and threw them on the bed. She just walked into the bathroom and heard the neighbor check in. A little while later, a white girl opened the door between Yunluo and her room! The lock was broken...holy shit! Yunluo's virginity was thrown away in Melbourne without any reason...

As a result, Yunluo and the other two called the front desk to complain from their respective rooms. After packing up, I thought about what to do on the first day here? Because the weather was so good, Yunluo did nothing! I took the tram to the beach and spent the whole day in St Kilda, lying on the grass by the beach with coffee and playing with the dog.

What do you think? Is this day too decadent? Seagulls are not afraid of people at all. Take a walk here, and you will feel relaxed even if you have something bothering you. Play with the dog. Lie on the grass by the sea and look at the blue sky. The sky of the capital is really incomparable to that of Shanghai. Stroll along the seaside on Aclandst Street and Fitzroyst Street. It was the first time I saw a lemon tree.

We walked to St Kilda Church and continued to play with the dog in the green space behind the church. Yunluo felt that the day was so decadent. At the corner of the street, we came to the famous Luna Park, which has been a landmark building in St Kilda since 1912. Mr. Moon, the famous big smiley face, is at the entrance.

It is said to be the nightmare of many children. You can enter the park freely, but if you want to play the amusement facilities, you have to buy a pass, which costs 38 Australian dollars. The hand-made carousel is the highlight of this amusement park full of joy. After visiting St. Kilda, I went to the labellemiette pastry house recommended by the Victorian Tourism Bureau to taste desserts in the evening.

This shop is small and exquisite. But it has the best macarons in Melbourne, so you can't miss it. Stepping into the Parisian style walkway in front of the shop, it feels like walking into an authentic French pastry shop. I took a look. There are nearly 20 flavors in total, and there is also a limited edition gray-white one called 'checkfacebookforlatestflavour'. I guess you have to like it on Facebook to buy it.

I looked at the recipes of these macarons again. Only coffeecandy (kopiko), hazelnut and bamboooolongtea do not contain food coloring. Yunluo ordered the oolong tea flavor. It costs 2.4 Australian dollars each. It tastes really special, very Chinese, not as sweet as the ones I ate before. It is the best macaron Yunluo has ever eaten.

The first day ended happily. Guess what the itinerary for the second day is. Victoria Parliament Building-Melbourne Star Ferris Wheel Melbourne's CBD is actually quite small, and it will not take more than 1 hour to walk around it.

But there are many beautiful paths and lanes here, some paved with cobblestones, some paved with bluestone, each with its own characteristics. The weather is so good today. This is another comfortable city that is warm and cozy even in winter, so I decided to walk around Melbourne on the second day.

Of course. You can also choose to take Melbourne's most iconic city circle tram (Line 35), which is free. It is a very beautiful and old tram. While listening to the automatic explanation, you can visit the center of Melbourne and embark on an antique and strange journey. For other bus transfer routes, you can download the official app, tramtracker, to check the planned route.

As of now, Melbourne is the only city in Australia that cannot use Google Maps to plan public transportation, so use your map-viewing skills from the non-smart era... Yunluo decided to walk, so let's start from the city center, the most obvious attraction, Federation Square.

When exploring Melbourne, no matter what you want to do or see, you must start from Federation Square, which is the heart and soul of Melbourne. Federation Square is a carnival place composed of steel, glass and abstract geometric shapes. It is the gathering center of Melbourne. There are children skating in the square.

There are also humorous street performers. To the west of the square is the symbol of Melbourne, a beautiful Victorian building, Flinders Street Station, which is the largest and busiest of Melbourne's four railway stations, Melbourne's first railway station, and the terminus of the local train line.

You can sit by swiping myki. After entering, it feels like going to Hogwarts. On the north side of the square is the Anglican St. Paul's Cathedral. Yunluo also knows the difference between a church and a cathedral. The church where the bishop of the diocese is located is called a "cathedral". In other words, a cathedral is also a church, but there is only one bishop in a diocese.

That is to say, there is only one cathedral church in a parish. You can hear the organ playing when you enter the church. It was the first time that Yunluo saw a real church organ. The sound was very impressive. It was made by a British organ craftsman and played for the first time when it was consecrated in 1891.

At 12:15 noon, the bishop will hold a communion service in the cathedral. Yunluo also happened to take a photo. In addition, there will be a choir evening prayer ceremony every afternoon~ Before leaving, Yunluo also went to the nearby Melbourne Coffee Bartending School to listen to a coffee lecture. Because I have been here for two days, I found that the coffee in any coffee shop on the street in Melbourne is so delicious, better than Starbucks.

The locals don't go to Starbucks very often. The handsome speaker introduced 8 common types of coffee in Australian coffee shops, including shortblack, longblack, shortmacchiato, longmacchiato, cappuccino, flatwhite, latte, and mocha. It turns out that longblack is actually an Australian improvement on Americano.

Although both use half a cup of water to dilute 60ml of espresso, the Americano is to add espresso first and then water, while the Longblack is to add water first and then start extracting espresso. What is the difference in taste between the different methods? The crema on the Americano will be washed away by hot water.

Since the oil on the longblack is poured in later, more oil can be seen on the surface of the coffee. At the same time, these oils will last longer because they are not affected by external forces. The oils contain a lot of flavors and aromas, which will also bring a more lasting aftertaste to Yunluo and An Chuyu when they drink it.

Mocha is the most expensive because it also contains cocoa powder. Cappuccino is the least cost-effective. Because it has 2cm high milk foam, cappuccino is usually served in opaque ceramic cups to prevent people from seeing through its low gold content. So cappuccino lovers can consider flatwhite, which only has 0.2cm milk foam.

Or the latte is 1cm of milk foam, and the main ingredient is still 30ml of espresso. The handsome guy also introduced and demonstrated to Yunluo and An Chuyu how to make latte art. He said that all latte art is a variation of the two basic styles of heart and flower. As long as you learn these two techniques, the rest of the patterns are all creative.

In addition, it turns out that making milk foam is also a technical job. Have you ever had a cappuccino like this, which looks delicate like a cup of art and tastes as smooth as silk? The smooth taste of the silk plate is actually the whole of a cup of cappuccino. If you have drunk such a cappuccino, Yunluo thinks it will be difficult for you to drink the kind of bubbly and fluffy cappuccino again.

So what makes a "real" cappuccino so delicious? Of course, it's the barista's skills. The skill of making milk foam is not that easy, it depends on the barista's long-term practice. Some baristas who have been working for a long time may still not be able to make milk foam well. Lunch is afternoon tea at hopentountearooms, a century-old teahouse.

This popular teahouse is located in the quaint Brock Shopping Gallery. There is always a long queue no matter when you go there. The window is filled with all kinds of exquisite desserts. I never knew the origin of the name of the shop, but after entering, I saw the words on the wall: wheretherestea, thereshope. Drinking British afternoon tea here is definitely the best choice for girls with a bursting girlish heart.

The alley exploration officially begins. Go east along Flindersst Street and then turn left to Hosierlane Lane, passing the Forum Theatre on the right. Turn right at Flinderslne Lane, turn left again to Russellst Street, and then turn right into Collins Street. Visit the Scottish Church (Scotschurch) and St. Michaels Uniting Church (St.MichaelsUnitingChurch).

Then walk east along the "Paris" end of Collins Street. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the main street and turn left into Alfredpl Square, which leads to Little Collins Street. Turn right, continue along Little Collins Street, and turn left into Meyerspi Square. There are many small shops. Yunluo found a fun model shop and painted the dragon model with the boy.

Then turn right to Bourke Street, which will take you to the eastern border of the CBD, where the famous Parliament House stands. Turn left at Spring Street, and then turn left again to Little Bourke Street, passing the Princess Theatre. Walk down Little Bourke Street and enter Chinatown.

Turn left at Swanston Street. Then walk into Bourke Street, visit the shops there, and watch the people coming and going. Then walk through the magnificent old Royal Arcade, and the day's walk is over. After thinking about it, I went to ride the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel, the largest Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere, in the evening.

I planned to explore Melbourne's unique scenery from a unique perspective. Melbourne really has no nightlife after 6pm. Except for 7-11, everything else is basically closed. The Ferris wheel is in Docklands, and the latest ride time is 09:30pm. After getting off the bus, I staggered towards the Ferris wheel looking at Googlemap.

There were few street lights around, and I fell headfirst into the flowerbed. The Ferris wheel ticket is 34 Australian dollars. A package for one ride during the day and one ride at night is 45 Australian dollars. During the 30-minute ride, the Ferris wheel slowly climbed to the height of 40 floors, and the beautiful scenery of the city and the bay was unobstructed.

Climb to the sky and overlook the sparkling blue water. Look out at the vast scenery 40 kilometers away. Take in the Melbourne city skyline. You can also listen to the in-cabin audio commentary to explore Melbourne's origins, little-known interesting stories, and the city's history, culture, inventions, and idol elites.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The cabin is always heated and air-conditioned, and the 360-degree uninterrupted glass allows you to see the surroundings. Wow, this is definitely the first choice for Melbourne. Watch the believers receive communion in the church, skate in the warm sun, learn latte art at the art school, drink English afternoon tea in a century-old shop, paint the dragon in the model shop, and finally climb the largest Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere to overlook the whole city...

The second day was too full, Yunluo didn't want to go back to work. What to do? Melbourne Museum-State Library of Victoria On the third day, I planned to pretend to be a cultured person. In the morning, I went to the Melbourne Museum, and the ticket cost 12 Australian dollars.

As one of the most famous museums in the world, Melbourne Museum is all-encompassing, and the exhibits are dazzling. It also includes outdoor halls. The years when dinosaurs dominated the earth. Specimens of various insects and mammals. Many equipment emphasize the concept of interaction. Various minerals and the long stories of the indigenous peoples. There is also a discovery area with scientists' desktops.

It makes people feel very involved. The Royal Exhibition Hall opposite is also very beautiful. By the way, the IMAX screen on the first floor below the museum is the third largest IMAX screen in the world. After walking out of the museum and wandering around in this bohemian cultural circle, Fitzroy & Collingwood is still very beautiful. I came to the gelatomessina ice cream shop.

This ice cream shop is known as the mecca of frozen desserts. Take a bite of the world-renowned Italian gelato and you'll know why. This is truly the best ice cream Yunluo has ever had, with a rich and delicate taste and just the right sweetness. 1 scoop is 4.8 Australian dollars, 2 scoops are 6.8 Australian dollars, and 3 scoops are 8.8 Australian dollars.

Then I read books in the Victoria State Library in the afternoon. It would be a shame if I didn't study hard in such a beautiful library. The Victoria State Library, one of the largest libraries in the world, has a collection of countless items. You can also play chess at the door.

The quiet dome reading room is full of reading atmosphere. The amazing octagonal dome reading room completely fascinated Yunluo. If you can't learn well in such a cultural place, it would be a miracle.

This friendly port town is in a daze. There are two companies at the berth of the South Bank Promenade, both of which provide round-trip tickets to Williamston. The boat boarding point is near Langham Hotel. Although it is drizzling today, Williamston still feels like a leisurely and comfortable town. You can see the visitor center as soon as you get off the boat.

You can get a 50-minute walking route map. Have a cup of coffee and play with birds by the sea, watching seagulls flying around. Have a chat with the shop owner. Eat some high-calorie but delicious cakes~timtam cheesecake, berry cheesecake, and a cute gingerbread man~ After returning from Williamston, it was still early, so I planned to go to the art gallery.

The National Gallery of Victoria International (NGVI) has the best international collection in Australia and is renowned worldwide. The Chinese Pavilion on the second floor has excellent collections. Below are two Buddha statues that Yunluo saw that were so beautiful that she wanted to cry.

The Thousand-armed Guanyin painting area is full of famous works. Rembrandt and Monet, and there is no protection, you can watch very closely. Contemporary exhibits are also touching. I like this bowl very much. "I wish to find a person who is as devoted as I am, and we will never leave each other until we grow old together", I suddenly thought of this old saying in the National Gallery of Australia.

Those cultural relics that have experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes and wandering around the world finally have a place to stay here. Seeing these archaeologists wash away the dross and repair the scars for them, with such warm and focused eyes, I was actually a little moved. This is also the blessing of these cultural relics. After thousands of years, they finally found someone who loves them.

Find a coffee shop, grab a cup of coffee, eat a piece of cake, chat with the boss lady, tease the seagulls, and then go to the National Gallery to contemplate Monet, Rembrandt and other beautiful works of art. I feel that this is the right rhythm of life. (To be continued...)
