This was the day Yunluo walked the most in Australia, walking + steps, poor Yunluo's legs. Here are some photos, this is the pieface brand of bread chain that can be seen everywhere in Australia, the common feature of these pies is that they all have face. Yunluo ordered a curry beef one, which tasted very good, but the price was not cheap.
But it's also nice to try something new. An Chuyu ordered a cheesecake. The taste was just so-so. This picture was taken near the City Hall. It's very interesting. There happened to be a seagull landing on the serious and unsmiling sculpture. Seagulls, as permanent residents of the city, don't care whether it is a sculpture or a branch. It's also near the City Hall.
A flower shop is quietly open. On Christmas morning, passing by such a flower shop, even if you don’t buy anything, just taking a look from a distance will make you feel very happy. A beautiful day starts in the morning. You cross the Yarra River to the South Bank of Melbourne, and then walk south along stkildaroad to reach Queen Victoria Gardens.
It's not so much a garden as it is a large open meadow. It's Yunluo's first time walking on such a straight and quiet tree-lined avenue. There are not many people on both sides of the road. He just keeps walking along the road, not knowing where the end of the road is. Sometimes you don't have to have a clear destination. It's also a kind of enjoyment to appreciate the scenery along the way. He is tired now.
Just rest on the grass for a while. This piece of grass is rarely walked by. There are clusters of small white flowers. An Chuyu often sighs that other people's flowers and grass are good. If you trample on them at will, you will never see a sign like "Please do not trample on the grass". But Yunluo always walks on his feet. This is not a problem of the grass, but a problem of the population. Behind him is the war memorial.
The museum was closed on Christmas Day, but it didn't matter. Yunluo didn't like such historical attractions. The chessboard lawn at the entrance was very pleasing to Yunluo's eyes. I wonder if the tour guide would say that the number of lawns represents the number of martyrs who died on the battlefield if this landscape was in China. In Yunluo's heart, it was just a simple tombstone.
A few beautiful flowers lie quietly under a tree, telling people not to forget this history. Don't forget the soldiers who died for the country, this is the meaning of commemoration. Thinking about the church activities in the afternoon, I can only walk back under the scorching sun at noon. This pointed building that looks like a flying skirt is the Melbourne Arts Center.
Of course, it is still not open. Melbourne is a city full of art. Various forms of street performances can be seen everywhere, and of course there are art galleries and art galleries as shown in the picture above. The appearance of the art gallery behind is very Chinese, at least Yunluo thinks so. Naturally, it is not open again. Go back to the north bank of Melbourne along the Yarra River.
We were going to attend the church activities in the afternoon. We could see the largest church in Melbourne, St. Paul's Cathedral, from a distance. It was just opposite Flinders Railway Station. If Yunluo and An Chuyu came to Melbourne to visit during Christmas, it would be a pity to see so many attractions closed. Then what was the pity of all the attractions closing for this church activity?
In fact, at the Christmas Eve church event last night (month day), although Yunluo and An Chuyu were looking through the glass, they also saw a sign next to it saying that taking photos in the church was prohibited and that they had to buy a license if they wanted to take photos. So, the first thing An Chuyu did when they entered the church today was to find the staff to buy a license, AUD/person.
However, the staff did not ask Yunluo and An Chuyu to pay, but only said that they could take photos now. They should not take photos after the event started, so the above photos were taken. Although Yunluo and An Chuyu are not Christians, they will respect the regulations of religious sacrificial sites wherever they go. This is the event this afternoon.
This booklet is in both Chinese and English. The Chinese priest who presided over the event also spoke both Chinese and English. For Yunluo and An Chuyu, who were entering the church and participating in church activities for the first time, everything was new. If Yunluo and An Chuyu converted to Christianity one day, it should be closely related to this event.
The priest on the stage explained the stories in the Bible to Yunluo and An Chuyu, as well as his childhood stories with Jesus Christ, and told the believers not to be afraid, for the Lord is by their side. The so-called Eucharist worship is actually the priest distributing "bread" written in the Bible to the believers. I don't know if it's a translation problem.
After finishing the church activities, I just walked along the street and checked out some places for boxing day tomorrow. As I walked, I arrived at the legendary luxury street, Collins St. The sun was shining brightly on Collins St in the afternoon. Maybe it was because it was Christmas and many shops were closed, so there were not many people on the street.
When you are tired of walking, you can sit on the side of the road and watch the passing vehicles. It is also a quiet enjoyment. Then you continue to move forward. Your destination is RMIT, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. An Chuyu is very disdainful of this place because this university has no gates or walls. Haha, it is indeed a bit simple compared to the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney that Yunluo went to later.
The main teaching building is the Transformers Building in the picture above, which stands next to the main street, and across the street are RMIT's other teaching buildings or activity buildings. Private vehicles shuttle back and forth among the RMIT buildings so casually. The students of this university should have no sense of belonging. Haha, just walk north along the road and you will arrive at the University of Melbourne.
This famous group of eight universities in Australia is indeed much more majestic than RMIT. The picture above shows a corner of the clock tower of the University of Melbourne. The University of Melbourne is also very interesting. Perhaps because it is far away from the CBD, it covers a much larger area than RMIT. Although a road divides the campus into two parts, An Chuyu said, at least there is a courtyard wall, haha.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were worrying about tomorrow's hot air balloon on the campus of the University of Melbourne, so they had to hurried back to the hotel. The main situation was that when Yunluo and An Chuyu booked this activity on Aole, they were told to call the hot air balloon company between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m. the day before the activity.
Yunluo and An Chuyu thought they were verifying their identity information, but the nightmare began. What do those who are not good at English fear the most when they are traveling abroad? Communicating over the phone, but what Yunluo and An Chuyu fear more than this is a recorded call! The so-called call that Yunluo and An Chuyu made was a recorded call.
An old man on the other end of the phone started talking, much faster than the A level and IELTS listening test. There was no place to answer the operator, and no place to leave a language message. The man on the other end of the phone talked nonstop for at least 10 minutes. Those of us who have suffered from English listening in China must understand Yun Luo's feelings at that time.
The more she didn't understand, the more anxious she became, the less patient she became, and the more she didn't understand, and this cycle repeated over and over again until she finally collapsed. She wanted to find a Chinese student on campus to help Yunluo and An Chuyu. But maybe because it was Christmas, the campus was quiet, with only a few black Indian tourists occasionally. Yunluo even thought of calling China for help.
An Chuyu said, forget it. Let's record the voice first and think of a solution when we get back. So Yunluo and An Chuyu could only return to the hotel with their own thoughts. Once back at the hotel, An Chuyu went to the blonde girl at the front desk for help. The locals listened to these naturally as if they were playing. After listening, they wrote down the main information on a piece of paper and told Yunluo and An Chuyu.
Oh, why is my English so bad? It's all tears. I don't know if it can help you. Yunluo briefly explains the information on the phone: "Please call this number at : in the early morning of the day of the event. You will be informed whether the event is cancelled due to weather reasons. If the weather is good, the company will send a car at .
"That's all the information I received. The old man on the phone kept talking for so long. In fact, if it was just this information, he should speak slower. I could understand it completely. It's true. I basically didn't sleep much that night. Yunluo and An Chuyu always felt that this matter was going to fail. I always felt that no one would come to pick them up.
Yunluo and An Chuyu missed the event. An Chuyu comforted Yunluo and said, if no one comes to pick them up tomorrow, we can just go to Boxing Day and do some shopping. Yunluo and An Chuyu were wondering, how can everyone pick them up? There must be someone first and someone later. So, in order to prevent missing the car that was supposed to pick them up, they decided to go to the store.
In the slightly cool night of Melbourne, Yunluo and An Chuyu waited foolishly on the roadside for a while. Fortunately, at 1:30 am on the streets of Melbourne, someone came to pick them up. Yunluo and An Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief. A minibus picked up everyone who participated in the hot air balloon activity along the way. It was already past 12:00 am when the last person was picked up.
Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu were picked up early, otherwise they might have given up waiting. It's all tears if I talk too much. I'm done complaining, let's talk about the activities. While showing the picture, he said that this was Yunluo's first time to ride a hot air balloon, and everything looked new to him. This is the basket that Yunluo and An Chuyu need to ride in, and each grid can accommodate one person.
Don't be fooled by the picture because the basket is actually quite big. It's not crowded at all when you stand inside. Riding a hot air balloon is not just a recreational activity. As soon as he got off the car, An Chuyu was dragged away to do hard labor. An Chuyu looked quite happy. Haha, he might think that doing things himself is the way to integrate with others.
It was just past 12 o'clock and it was pitch black all around. They flattened the hot air balloon and then needed to pump air into it. A huge fan was used to blow up the hot air balloon. However, the hot air balloon was still deflated after just blowing it up. How could it be filled with air? It depended on flames. Yunluo kept following this step which was quite dangerous as there were flames involved.
How hot must it be? How did the hot air balloon stand up? It was the force of the reversing car behind that pulled the hot air balloon up. The group next to them was faster and all the people were already standing in the basket. Yunluo and An Chuyu were still waiting outside the hot air balloon of their group, feeling very anxious not to miss the sunrise in the morning. Finally they climbed into the basket.
It's not bad, the place is quite spacious, but the temperature is a bit low, so I took out my down jacket again, it's so cold, the hot air balloon took off, of course Yunluo couldn't take a picture of his own take-off process, he could only take a picture of the hot air balloon next to him, hahaha, I guess they were also taking pictures of Yunluo and An Chuyu, the hot air balloon was getting farther and farther away from Yunluo and An Chuyu.
Does it look like an inverted Hershey's kiss? Haha, the sun is about to come out. The time is half past three. Three hot air balloons take off together. Some are far away from Yunluo and An Chuyu, and some are closer. Look, this hot air balloon is not far from Yunluo and An Chuyu, and is slightly lower than Yunluo and An Chuyu. Let's secretly take a picture of the hot air balloon's good equipment.
There is an iPad on top, which seems to have a dedicated app that displays real-time information such as height, wind speed, and location. There is also a large fuel tank. It is strange to say that when I look at this picture now, I always feel that it will explode. I don’t trust anything in China. Eating hot pot can also kill people. But at that time, Yunluo was right next to the fuel tank. Why didn’t he feel scared?
A small villa in the Yarra Valley. In fact, if you get closer, you can see the tables and chairs placed on the second-floor terrace for tea breaks. Living in the middle of this endless grassland, you have your own small villa. It is such a wonderful thing to invite three or five friends to sit on the terrace on weekend afternoons, talk about gossip and boyfriends.
But, this is all imagination. The fact is, Yunluo would not have afternoon tea on this terrace even if she was given the chance. The reason is that there are many cattle and sheep here, and there is a lot of cow and sheep dung on the ground. As a direct result, there are a lot of flies. There are so many flies that even An Chuyu's back has landed on more than one fly. I won't upload the disgusting pictures.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Before, An Chuyu was to open the hot air balloon, and after that, he was to pack it up. An Chuyu worked actively again. Look how happy An Chuyu was after the work. He even took off his down jacket because he was hot. He was born to work hard. I booked this tour on Aole.com not only because of the hot air balloon activity, but also because of the car pick-up and drop-off. Of course.
More importantly, it includes a breakfast at the winery. The picture above is An Chuyu's grand super-large breakfast, and the picture below is the salmon meal that Yunluo ordered. Before that, there was also milk/coffee/juice, fruit, and cereal. In short, big eaters like Yunluo and An Chuyu were very satisfied. After breakfast, they were given certificates for hot air balloon rides.
The issuer was the "owner" of Yunluo and An Chuyu's hot air balloon. It was almost noon when they sent Yunluo and An Chuyu back to Melbourne. We must make good use of the afternoon to spend Yunluo's boxing day. The so-called boxing day is the shopping day for Australians. The streets and alleys are full of people as long as there is a shopping mall, a bit like our Shuang.
It is said that today is the cheapest day of the year for many things. The streets are full of people of all ages and genders carrying shopping bags from various shopping malls. The shopping process is automatically ignored, mainly because it is too crowded. Basically, you just line up and swipe your card to buy something you like. No clerk will take the initiative to pay attention to you. It is too busy. Yun Luo waited in line for more than a minute to get on the escalator.
Everyone was really enthusiastic. Tired of grabbing goods, they sat down to eat something. In the picture above, Yunluo and An Chuyu were eating hamburgers and fries along the way. But don't underestimate the hamburger in the picture. It is said to be the best hamburger in Melbourne. It is called Grilld, which is also a chain with several stores. You can search on Google Maps and you will find it.
What they are famous for is their lamb burgers. I have to say, Australian meat is just good, tender and juicy. In comparison, fish and chips are just so-so. After having a good meal and a good drink, I finally had time to take the free CBD bus, citycircle, also called road. The one in the picture is Springstreet, which is a stop on citycircle.
Almost every CityCircle tram will stop here to rest, so this is the best place to take pictures of this ancient tram. Let me end today with a picture of the church. I will fly to Sydney early tomorrow morning. I love Melbourne.
The air tickets were expensive and there was little choice (Yunluo will list the expenses at the end), so Australia's domestic airlines were forced to choose two morning flights. Here I would like to praise Melbourne's airport bus Skybus. The above picture shows that Yunluo and An Chuyu bought round-trip tickets, and Yunluo and An Chuyu clearly left Melbourne after midnight.
Why do you dare to buy a return bus ticket? This is where Yunluo wants to praise the Skybus. The Melbourne Airport Bus operates all day and at night. Even at such awkward times as night and o'clock, there is guaranteed to be a bus every minute between the city and the airport. This airport bus also has Chinese introductions, which is very convenient, and...
The most important point is that as long as you buy a skybus ticket, it actually includes hotel pick-up and drop-off. You can see clearly in the picture above that Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived in Melbourne on the day because the time was right, they were sent to the hotel. It was a pity that they had to take a flight leaving Melbourne in the morning, so they had to go to the skybus station by themselves.
Although I didn't enjoy this service, Yunluo still wants to give a thumbs up to the Melbourne Airport Bus. [End of Melbourne] The advantage of the early flight is that it doesn't seem to take up your time, because Yunluo and Anchu met and arrived in Sydney at 1:30 in the morning. A beautiful day began. In the [Hotel Article] above, Yunluo wrote about today's accommodation.
Since Yunluo really likes it more, I'd like to talk about it again here. If you think it's too long-winded, I'll just skip it. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't originally book this hotel in Kent. The reason was, of course, that it was expensive. They booked a hotel that was farther away, but also from the Meriton chain, Meriton Serviced Apartments-Zetland. But later they checked.
It seemed too far from Darling Harbour, so I cut my losses and booked this meriton servicedap-kent located in townhall. In fact, there are several meritons around here. As long as you are not like Yunluo, who is in the popular tourist season during Christmas and New Year, the price is still affordable. Here is another photo of the meriton hotel on Kent Street in Yunluo. (~^~)
