I’m not sure if it’s the beginning of a midlife crisis, but suddenly my parents have become really open to the idea of camping and going on achingly long road trips. Not that I’m complaining, though! Melbourne’s roughly an hour long plane ride from Sydney, but why do that when there are sights to see along the way? Surprisingly the drive only took eight hours, but I think I’ll opt out when my dad wants to drive halfway across the desert (that’s a whole other obsession I won’t go into)…
Anyway, during my time away I was definitely able to appreciate a change of scenery for once! If you ask me, Melbourne has this cool vibe and appreciation for aesthetics that Sydney will never adopt, and I feel like everyone there is just a little more well-dressed. It’s no surprise that this place is known for its shopping, especially considering I spent most of my trip doing just that… I also found that everything’s organised logically unlike back home, where restaurants, shops and cafes are scattered all over the place! The grass really is greener on the other side, huh? Anyway, on to the pictures:
Just a random beach and breakfast before a day of walking… lots of it, might I add. While the food at the Coffee Club was okay, I still thought it was pretty ordinary considering the price! However I did steal a bite of my brother’s pancakes and they were exceptionally good, so I guess I should’ve gone for those instead of the eggs Benedict…
