Section 1529 Cucumber



TimTam cheesecake, berry cheesecake, and a cute gingerbread man. After returning from Williamston, it was still early, so I decided to go to the art gallery. National Gallery Victoria International (NGVI).

It has the best international collection in Australia with a world-renowned reputation. The Chinese Pavilion on the second floor has excellent collections. Below are two Buddha statues that are so beautiful that Yunluo wants to cry. The Avalokitesvara Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara oil painting area is full of masterpieces. Rembrandt and Monet, and there is no protection, you can watch very closely.

The contemporary exhibits are also very touching. I like this bowl very much. "I wish to find a person who loves me and we will never part until we grow old together." This ancient saying suddenly came to my mind when I was at the National Gallery of Australia. Those cultural relics that have experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes and wandered around the world finally have a place to stay here. Seeing these archaeologists wash away the dross and repair the scars for them, their eyes are so warm and focused.

I was actually touched. This is also the blessing of these cultural relics. After thousands of years, they finally found someone who loves them. Find a coffee shop, have 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.

Today the sun was so bright and sunny. I visited the famous Queen Victoria Market and the Royal Botanic Gardens, one of the best botanical gardens in the world. It was a brilliant and comfortable day. Chaotic and friendly, with a fusion of multiculturalism, this is the true portrayal of Queen Victoria Market. Queen Victoria Market is not only a cultural and historical estimate.

It is also one of the largest open-air markets in the Southern Hemisphere. This market has a history of more than 100 years. From freshly made Brie cheese to high-end moccasins, local and imported foods, various cosmetics, clothing and souvenirs, you can buy everything here. In an ecological corridor in the fruit and vegetable area.

Fresh agricultural products are sold here that have not been affected by any chemicals or pesticides during their growth. Food from all over the world can be found everywhere in the market. After leaving the market, I planned to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens. The whole journey was very artistic. I passed by the Melbourne War Memorial (Shrine of Remembrance), or it would be more appropriate to call it a temple.

The architectural style is somewhat similar to the Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was rebuilt for the Victorians who died in World War I. Take a look at their red education. The Royal Botanic Garden is just opposite the War Memorial and is the best botanical garden in Australia. It is also one of the best botanical gardens in the world.

Extending along the Yarra River, plants from Australia and around the world compete for beauty in artificial small ecosystems, such as cactus areas, spice and medicinal areas, aquatic plants areas, rainforest areas, etc., and it is free. You can bring your time, books, picnic baskets, set up frisbees, and enjoy it all leisurely. There is a world-famous road in Australia.

This is the Great Ocean Road. As Australia's most famous tourist attraction, you will pass by the wild coastline with stunning scenery, classic surfing beaches and seaside towns along the way. Because it is located in the west of Melbourne and is nearly a kilometer long, self-driving or group tours are the best options for touring this road. Since I was traveling alone.

Yunluo chose to join a one-day tour group. When I woke up in the morning, God, the sky was not nice, and it started to drizzle. It's okay, let's have a hot meal first. After doing some research, I came to The Hardware Société, the most popular cafe in Melbourne. In fact, I wanted to come here a long time ago. But it closes too early every day.

Can you imagine that such a well-received restaurant closes at two or three in the afternoon every day... Hardware Street, Melbourne Monto Fri:. am–pm Sat & Sun:. am–pm Nearest Tram Station: Queen St/La Trobe St This is really the most delicious breakfast that Yunluo has had late in Melbourne. It is so delicious that it is irresistible.

The chef specially prepared a set of things that were not on the menu for Yunluo, which was super luxurious. If there was no special set meal on that day, roasted bird eggs and picnic set meals were good choices. After setting off early and traveling for a few hours, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the famous Great Ocean Road. After the First World War.

About 10,000 Australian soldiers returned from Britain. Due to the economic depression in the country at that time, the unemployment rate rose. The government had no choice but to arrange these soldiers to open up wasteland and build roads. Since "World War I" is usually called "Great War" in English, this road was built by soldiers who participated in World War I.

So it was officially named "Great Ocean Road". The Great Ocean Road has the most legendary coast in Australia. The monsoon from the Antarctic Circle rolls up huge waves and hits the limestone reef. The most famous thing on the entire road is the Twelve Apostles, because there are about 1000 stone pillars standing on the coastline.

Like the saints of Jesus, hence the name. Here, you can feel the special shock that the ocean brings to the land. Coming out from the Twelve Apostles, is the Loch Ard Gorge. In 1945, a British immigrant ship named "Loch Ard" ran aground on the way to Melbourne and died.

Only a 18-year-old boy and a 18-year-old girl survived, and all the others died. Although everyone expected the two to have a happy ending, the fact is that they parted ways and continued their lives in different countries, which is a bit sad. I thought about it, how can I be happy in the last moments? As a diehard fan of Harry Potter.

The scene of riding the train at the second platform is still vivid in my mind. Melbourne happens to have a tourist attraction where you can ride a small train, the Puffing Billy steam train. The Puffing Billy steam train is the most popular steam train among Australians and one of the best preserved steam trains in the world.

This century-old old steam train, on a kilometer-long narrow-gauge railway, slowly travels through the beautiful mountains, passing through forests, grasslands, and lakes. It is full of beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and shady trees, and the clanging sound of the train will gradually take you into the simple childhood in your memory. The predecessor of the train used to be a mine car.

After it declined, it was changed into a tourist train. The old man on the platform looked like he came out of a Harry Potter book. The most enjoyable way to ride this train is to hang your arms and legs outside the window. Then you can enjoy the lake and mountains. On the way, you can play with wild white macaws. Take a look at the city from a distance and go for a wine tasting in the afternoon.

The Yarra Valley is known for its rich wine culture. There are several wineries here. Finally, I decided to go to Domaine Chandon to find out. The famous French champagne house Moet & Chandon established this winery in 1999, specializing in sparkling wine and cool climate still wine.

Yunluo sipped red wines of different years and brewing techniques here, including Chandon Brut NV, Chandon Vintage Brut Rosé, Domaine Chandon Yarra Valley Chardonnay, Domaine Chandon Barrel Selection Pinot Noir, Domaine Chandon Yarra Valley Shiraz, and Chandon Sparking Pinot Shiraz NV.

Personally, I think the best wine is Domaine Chandon Barrel Selection Pinot Noir, which has a long aftertaste and a comfortable taste. I hurried back to the airport. I was ready to end this week's trip. Alas, the Victoria trip is coming to an end, and I have to say goodbye to the bright sunshine here. I hope I can come again. But I just got on the Singapore Airlines plane.

I found that the flight I just took was the latest NextGeneration aircraft that Singapore Airlines is proud of. Even in economy class, the cushions, side pillows and back support are designed in a new generation. With more space, the quality of sleep on this flight is guaranteed. The exclusive touch screen handle and larger touch screen are also great.

Zuma on the touch screen is so much fun, much more fun than the controller. When stopping in Singapore, Singapore Airlines will arrange special service personnel to inform the transfer boarding gate. With the official APP, it is easy to find the location. Another journey has ended. In just a few days, Yunluo fell in love with this place. If there is a chance, I will definitely come again.

After getting up in the morning, I was ready to go to Sydney's first stop, the famous landmark Sydney Opera House. There was a large display screen before entering the Central Station. It showed the train information and platform. Because I was anxious, Yunluo went straight into the station without even looking at it. Later, I searched for a long time in the platform before I found which platform I should go to.

After getting off at Circular Quay Station, you can see the Harbour Bridge. Walk forward and you can see the famous landmark, Sydney Opera House. Helicopters fly over the Opera House from time to time. The Australian flag is flying above the Harbour Bridge. After the incident in Singapore where Yunluo's mother couldn't take pictures, Yunluo asked him to take the shutter.

Teach him to press lightly, wait for the "beep" sound and then press harder = he finally learned to take pictures. And he took pictures. So happy. Go to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Royal Botanic Gardens is really a great place to take pictures of the Opera House. Beautiful? Australia has such weather every day, blue sky and white clouds. These high-rise buildings can be seen in the Royal Botanic Gardens.

It also includes the Sydney Tower. Birds in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The birds here are not afraid of people. They get very close to you. Close view of the Opera House. There was also a wedding at the Royal Botanic Gardens. It seemed that the host was Chinese. The host spoke Chinese. After having lunch at the restaurant next to the Opera House, I took the bus to Bondi Beach. You cannot pay on the bus in Sydney.

Only credit cards are accepted. Yunluo and An Chuyu even bought an Opal card. Surfers are surfing! Write Yunluo's nickname on the beach. Then a foreigner saw it and asked Yunluo to write his Chinese name. Yunluo just translated it. Surfers have this kind of skateboard performance next to the beach (not sure if it's a performance, maybe just for fun).

Many people sunbathe behind the beach. Then go to the opera house to take pictures of the night view. The moon gets dark very early in Australia. It starts to get dark after 5 o'clock local time. It's basically like this after 6 o'clock. After dark, you can't enter the Royal Botanic Gardens. This is the only angle. As a junior high school student, Yunluo still has to visit the University of Sydney when he comes to a foreign country.

This world's top university, because we were pulling two big suitcases, we only visited a small part == This building is very famous. When searching for pictures of Sydney University on the Internet, many of them were small roads in Sydney University. Then we came to Sydney Tower to have a buffet lunch. This buffet lunch is still a bit expensive. Two people booked more on Qizhou.com.

The food is quite rich and ok, but the drinks are charged, no free drinks. You have to pay. But the view from above is very beautiful! You can see the endless sea, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House is blocked by buildings, so you can only see a small part, and you can also see the airport. The restaurant is revolving, very beautiful! The entrance to the Sydney Tower buffet restaurant is difficult to find.

There is no special mark on the ground floor. There is a mall in the basement of Sydney Tower. Everything is very expensive. A piece of clothing costs thousands of dollars. If you want to go to the revolving restaurant, you can go into the mall. There is an elevator in the mall with floor marks. Yunluo forgot which floor it was, but there was a cafeteria marked on it.

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

Don't press Sydneytowereye, that's for the Sydney Tower Observation Deck. Not for dining. After getting off the elevator, if you have made a reservation in advance, show your travel voucher. After the staff registers, they will give you something similar to a cashier receipt, and then they will ask you to take the elevator to the revolving restaurant. When you arrive at the restaurant, the staff will arrange a seat.

But only seats for two people are next to the window, Yunluo thinks it is better to sit next to the window. The boundless sea. Hyde Park, almost a panoramic view. This is the food, which is OK. There is seafood, but Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't see it == Behind the circle of people taking food in the middle, it is not easy to see if you keep looking at the food.

A small part of the Citibank logo and the Harbour Bridge. A small part of the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Opera House ==== You can see the airport and planes taking off and landing. Birds in Sydney Tower Hyde Park. A close-up of the Opal card in Hyde Park. Yunluo was so bored. After playing in the Harbour Park for a while, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the train to the airport and took a flight early the next morning.

I stayed next to the airport. It was more than 2,000 kilometers from Sydney to Cairns, and it was already past 10 o'clock when I arrived in Cairns. Since Cairns is just a tourist resort city, the city is not big, and the transportation in the city is not well developed. There are buses and taxis from the airport to Cairns.

If there are two or more people, it is more cost-effective to take a taxi. It takes about ten minutes to take a taxi from the airport to the city (Yunluo and An Chuyu live near the pier), and it costs more than Australian dollars. Credit cards can be used. After checking in at the hotel, Yunluo and An Chuyu wandered around the beach in Cairns. There is also a man-made beach swimming pool in the city.

The water in the pool is salty, it should be seawater. Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at the Pacific International Hotel in Cairns. The rooms are nice, with balconies. Most rooms have views of the sea, and the location is very good. Just around the corner from the hotel is the pier for the Great Barrier Reef day tour. There is also a DFS and a Chinese restaurant below the hotel. The picture shows the pier that Yunluo took in his room.

Yunluo likes to make a scissors hand gesture when taking photos. It was already 12:30 when Yunluo arrived at the hotel. The hotel's dinner time is open until 12:00, so after putting away the luggage, he went directly to the restaurant on the first floor for a midnight snack! The internal environment of Royal Garden Hotel is also very good. When he rushed to the restaurant, there was basically no one there, only a few tables of people on the bus that came with Yunluo were eating here.

Royal Garden Hotel in Hong Kong is a free meal provided by an airline. Cathay Pacific is very sincere. All meals are on the restaurant menu. A dinner roll, a big steak, and a cream soup! The steak chef of a five-star hotel is still quite skilled! This midnight snack was very satisfying!

Arranged on the first floor, the upper floor needs to take the elevator to the first floor and then walk up a flight of stairs to reach it. This is probably the floor reserved by the airline and the hotel for long-term cooperation! The welcome fruit of the Royal Garden Hotel in Xiangjiang City has been placed on the coffee table, and it is just right to digest after a satisfying midnight snack. Although the Royal Garden Hotel in Xiangjiang City is a reserved room for cooperation between the hotel and the airline.

But everything is equipped according to hotel standards, the quality is not lost, and the room is spacious. There are pay-per-view TV programs, so be careful when choosing the menu. The next day at Royal Garden Hotel in Xiangjiang City, the whole picture of the lobby of Royal Garden Hotel appeared in front of Yun Luo, and the sightseeing elevators directly to each floor.

Most of the rooms on the third floor are surrounded by the restaurant on the third floor, which has a nice view. The buffet at Royal Garden Hotel in Hong Kong is very rich. According to incomplete statistics, there are no less than 40 or 50 kinds of Chinese and Western delicacies, as well as Japanese counters, salmon, sushi, etc. Seafood is of course indispensable at Royal Garden Hotel in Hong Kong.

The seafood here is very good, very fresh and delicious. Royal Garden Hotel in Xiangjiang City Royal Garden Hotel in Xiangjiang City Since I booked a bus to the airport at noon, I took advantage of the limited time to go to the opposite Victoria Harbour and digest it. Unfortunately, the itinerary was a bit rushed, so I didn't go far and just sat and looked at the beach leisurely. (~^~)
