Yunluo always thought, if Yunluo and An Chuyu had the chance to reach here in their lifetime, there would be even fewer surviving apostles. Would a new batch of 12 apostles appear millions of years later? To join such a foreign group, you would inevitably have to work, but it was completely voluntary and no one would assign you a job.

Yunluo thought that the Chinese people with more than 20 people would not do it, so Yunluo took the initiative to pull An Chuyu down to help. Humph, everything went as Yunluo thought. The dish in Yunluo's hand was cut by Yunluo and An Chuyu. Of course, the American girl behind him also helped a little. The three dishes in front of him were all leafy salads.

All the meat was prepared by the tour guide Jude alone. Dear friends, if you want to sign up for this foreign tour, be sure to be hands-on and do whatever you can to help out. Don't say that you will bring honor to the Chinese people, but don't let people look down on you, right? Hahaha, let's end the first day's itinerary with a photo of An Chuyu lying on Yunluo's bed.

The AUD for this tour is 195 per person, which includes mixed-gender bunk beds. If you need a single room, you can ask Jude earlier. Yunluo and An Chuyu thought about it and decided not to because the single room also has a shared toilet. The bunk beds are also good. The room where Yunluo and An Chuyu live happens to be full of girls sleeping on the upper bunks.

Good night Great Ocean Road~~ The next morning, after eating the breakfast that Jude prepared for Yunluo and An Chuyu, we went out again. This morning's activity was to get close to the 12 Apostles. You can go down to the vicinity of the apostles along the Gibson Steps, so this somewhat silly posed photo was taken.

In fact, you can also choose to take a helicopter to overlook the 12 Apostles, but since Yunluo and An Chuyu had already taken a helicopter on Hamilton Island, they decided not to take it. It was not expensive, about AUD 90 per person for 15 minutes, and Yunluo thought it was a good deal. This is one of An Chuyu's favorite attractions on the Great Ocean Road.

The shipwreck shore is Lochard Groge, and you can go down to the beach. The little black man in the picture above is the back of another American girl in Yunluo and An Chuyu's group~ The itinerary arranged by RideTour is so good. No matter how beautiful these big rocks are, there will always be a day of aesthetic fatigue, so this brought Yunluo and An Chuyu to the Maitsrest rainforest.

Look at this magical tree hole. It is said that there is the second tallest tree in the world here. Is the tallest tree in California? Maybe~ Yunluo and Anchuyu, who were starving, finally stopped their sightseeing and had lunch at Apollobay. This small town was Yunluo and Anchuyu's favorite, and it actually felt very similar to Kenting Street.

There are also various small shops lined up. After a delicious lunch, you must stop here to have an ice cream, because this is the most awarded ice cream shop in Australia. On both sides of the wall are various awards won by this shop. Look at the ice cream in the freezer. The small gold and silver circles under the flavor label are the medals that this flavor has won.

But I don't know if Yunluo can't get used to it, most of the award-winning flavors here are cinnamon and licorice. Yunluo decided to have a cappuccino and a mango. Is there anything more comfortable than eating ice cream? Well, here's an interesting thing about this store. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't intend to take pictures of the Santa Claus car.

The wooden archway behind the car reads "greatoceanroad", which is the starting point of the Great Ocean Road. Jude put Yunluo and Anchuyu down and gave them time to take a photo with this place, which can be regarded as a photo of their visit. Coincidentally, a Santa Claus car drove by and threw a lot of candies from the car.

Let's celebrate Christmas Eve together~ Actually, this is not a Santa Claus car, but a fire truck, borrowed by young people for fun. The tour of the Great Ocean Road is getting closer and closer to the end, and the last attraction is the Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse. As a pseudo-lighthouse lover, Yunluo has basically no fanaticism for lighthouses.

Just look up from a distance. End the Great Ocean Road trip with a "group photo". Let's make a brief summary of the two-day Great Ocean Road tour. In fact, the reason why Yunluo expressed dissatisfaction with the many Chinese in the group was not mainly because of the good or bad performance of the group members. Yunluo himself was a little loser who had not been abroad many times. Many habits are the same as everyone else.

The primary reason for the disappointment might be that Yunluo and An Chuyu imagined this foreign tour group to be too "foreign". Now thinking about other people's travel notes I've seen before, this group will also have 6-10 Chinese people, it just happened that Yunluo caught up with a day with a lot of Chinese people. Let's talk about the group itself.

The tour guide Jude is a very serious and responsible person. She does everything herself. For the entire two-day trip, she led the team alone and served as the driver, tour guide, team leader, cook, and provided logistics support. Not only Yunluo, but other members of the group also gave full marks to Jude's performance. She is such an enthusiastic and dedicated tour guide.

Again, if you like the presence of many Chinese people and are willing to do some appropriate work, you can choose this tour. If you yearn for a purely foreign tour, this tour may not be suitable for you. In fact, Yunluo and Anchu met many purely foreign tours along the way, but Yunluo himself has never participated in one and cannot give you accurate advice.

Let's go look for it~ [End of Great Ocean Road] It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when we returned to Melbourne. It is such a magical place. At 9 o'clock, the sky was still bright. Today is Christmas Eve, so I decided to go for a walk on the street with An Chuyu~ Looking at the pictures and talking~ Oaksonwilliamapartments It was a little after 8 o'clock.

Yunluo and An Chuyu took the photo on the 18th floor of the Oakson Williams Hotel. The hotel faces west, so you can see the sunset in the west and the night view of West Melbourne. In fact, Yunluo didn't investigate the Christmas celebrations in Melbourne, so he could only walk towards the city center. By chance, he caught the light show in front of the City Hall at 9 o'clock.

The City Hall displayed all kinds of wonderful changes under the changes of lights and music. Yunluo's angle was also pretty good and he got a few nice photos~ Now, it's another feeling of the City Hall~ After the light show, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked towards St. Paul's Cathedral, thinking that there must be activities in the cathedral on Christmas Eve.

As expected, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived late, so they could only watch through the glass at the door. They comforted themselves that it was good for Yunluo and An Chuyu, as non-believers, to feel the atmosphere through the glass. Just when they were feeling regretful, their luck was so good that there was a sign at the door of the church, which wrote about the church's activities in the next two days.

Yunluo and An Chuyu found out that there would be a Mandarin-speaking Holy Communion service for Chinese people tomorrow. This was great. Yunluo and An Chuyu wanted to participate in this kind of event to feel the Christmas atmosphere but were afraid of the embarrassment caused by language barriers. This solved all their worries.

Melbourne City One-Day Tour During Christmas in Melbourne, everything is a holiday and nothing is open, so Yunluo and An Chuyu can only wander around the city. Even the free bus (citycircle route 35) has stopped running. Melbourne is not big and the tourist attractions are relatively concentrated, so Yunluo and An Chuyu did not buy transportation tickets.

I can only rely on my legs to walk. Yunluo's Jawbone bracelet shows that this is the day Yunluo walked the most in Australia, with more than 22,000 steps. My poor legs. Here are some photos~ This is the pieface brand, a bakery 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.

The taste is very good, but the price is not cheap, but it is also good to try something new~ An Chuyu ordered a cheesecake, the taste is just okay~ This picture was taken near the City Hall, it is very interesting. There happened to be a seagull landing on the serious and unsmiling sculpture.

Seagulls and other city residents don't care whether it's a sculpture or a branch. 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 take a look from a distance. It will make people feel very happy.

A beautiful day started in the morning. We crossed the Yarra River and arrived at the South Bank of Melbourne. Then we walked south along Stkilda Road to reach Queen Victoria Gardens. It was more like a large open lawn than a garden. It was probably the first time for Yunluo to walk on such a straight and quiet tree-lined road. There were not many people on both sides of the road.

Just keep walking along this road, not knowing where the end of the road is. Sometimes you don't have to be clear about your destination. It is also a kind of enjoyment to appreciate the scenery along the way. When you are tired, just take a rest on the grass. Few people pass by this grass, and there are clusters of small white flowers blooming. An Chuyu often sighs that other people's flowers and plants are so beautiful.

You can trample on the grass at will, and you will never see a sign like "Please do not trample on the grass", but Yunluo always walks on it. This is not a problem with the grass, but a problem with the number of people. Behind him is the War Memorial, which is also closed on Christmas Day, but it doesn't matter. Yunluo doesn't like such a historical attraction.

The chessboard lawn at the entrance is 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 is in China. In Yunluo's heart, a simple tombstone and 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. I was thinking about the church activities in the afternoon, and could 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 not open yet. 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 museums as shown in the picture above. The appearance of the art gallery behind is very Chinese in style, at least Yunluo thinks so. Naturally, it was not open, so he returned to the north shore of Melbourne along the Yarra River to prepare to attend the afternoon church activities.

From a distance, you can see Melbourne's largest church - St. Paul's Cathedral, which is just opposite Flinders Railway Station. If Yunluo and An Chuyu came to Melbourne for a tour during Christmas and felt it was a pity to see so many attractions closed, then it would be a pity that all the attractions were closed for this church event.

In fact, during the Christmas Eve church event last night, although Yunluo and An Chuyu looked through the glass, they also saw a sign next to it saying that taking photos in the church was prohibited and that if taking photos, they had to buy a license. So, the first thing An Chuyu did when he entered the church today was to find the staff to buy a license, aud5/person.

However, the staff did not ask Yunluo and An Chuyu to pay, but only said that they could take photos now, but not 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.

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

In Chinese, Yunluo and Anchuyu said in unison, "Let Yunluo and Anchuyu share a piece of bread." Haha, bread, did Jesus eat bread? After the church activities, I walked along the street casually. By the way, I checked out some things for tomorrow's boxing day. I walked and walked to the legendary luxury street, Collins St.

The sun was shining brightly on Colin Street in the afternoon. Perhaps because it was Christmas and many shops were closed, there were not many people on the street. When I got tired, I sat on the side of the road and watched the passing vehicles. It was also a quiet enjoyment. I continued to walk forward. My destination was RMIT, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. An Chuyu was very fond of this place.

The reason is that this university has no gates or walls, haha. Compared with the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney that Yunluo went to later, it is indeed a bit simple. The main teaching building is the Transformers Building in the picture above. It stands next to the street, and across the street are other teaching buildings or activity buildings of RMIT.

Private vehicles just randomly shuttle between the RMIT building. The students of this university must have no sense of belonging. Haha, walk north along the road and you will reach the University of Melbourne. This famous Australian eight-university is indeed much more impressive 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.

Maybe it's because it's far from CBD and covers a much larger area than RMIT. Although a road divides the campus into two parts, An Chuyu said, at least there is a wall. Haha, Yunluo and An Chuyu were worrying about the hot air balloon tomorrow on the campus of Melbourne University, so they had to rush back to the hotel. Yunluo will explain it in detail below.

It was written that Yunluo and An Chuyu booked a Yarra Valley hot air balloon activity, which was also booked on Aole.com, and the URL was given again: It was mentioned above that Yunluo and An Chuyu at the University of Melbourne had a lot of trouble thinking about today's hot air balloon. The main situation was that Yunluo and An Chuyu booked this activity on Aole.com.

They were told to call the hot air balloon company between 6pm and 6:30pm the day before the event. Yunluo and An Chuyu thought they were verifying their identity, but that was when their nightmare began. What do people who are not good at English fear the most when traveling abroad? Communicating over the phone.

But what Yunluo and An Chuyu were more afraid of was a recorded call! The so-called call that Yunluo and An Chuyu made was actually a recorded call. An old man on the other end of the phone spoke much faster than the CET-6 and IELTS listening test, and there was no place to answer the human operator during the whole process.

There was no place to leave any language information, and the person on the other end of the phone kept talking for at least 5 or 6 minutes. Those of us who have suffered from English listening in China must understand Yun Luo's feelings at that time, that is, the more he didn't understand, the more anxious he became, the less patient he became, and the more he didn't understand, and this cycle repeated over and over again, and finally he collapsed.

I 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 front desk to ask for help from the blonde girl. The local girl listened to all this naturally as if it was a joke. After listening, she wrote down the main information on a piece of paper and told Yunluo and An Chuyu. Alas, why is my English so bad? It was all tears.

I don't know if this will be helpful to you. Yunluo will briefly explain the information on the phone here: "Please call this number at 02:45 in the morning on 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 to pick you up downstairs of the registered hotel at 03:45." That's all the information.

The old man on the phone talked for so long, but in fact, if he spoke slowly, people would be able to understand him completely. It was really hard to sleep that night. Yunluo and An Chuyu always felt that this matter was going to fail, and they always felt that no one would come to pick them up. Yunluo and An Chuyu missed this event.

An Chuyu comforted Yunluo and said, if no one comes to pick us up tomorrow, we can just go to Boxing Day and do some shopping. Yunluo and An Chuyu were wondering, how can they all be picked up at 03:45? There has to be a first and a last. So, in order to avoid missing the car that will pick them up, they set off in the cool night of Melbourne. (To be continued..)
