HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! wish you all a great year ahead :)
now im continuing writing about my Melbourne trip! the second day, me and my mother joined a one-day trip to the Great Ocean Road. it was a bit raining when we woke up and walking to the assembly point, but we didnt care much as we thought the rain would stop at a later time.
however, yes assumption is the biggest problem! the rain did not stop at all! even after we went to sleep that night, the rain had not stopped. yes Melbourne is great in terms of weather. SIGH.
oh and i have to tell you first a bit about the tour. it was a Chinese-own tour, therefore it was very cheap compared with other tours. i forgot the exact price, but i remember it was half the price of other tours. 40 or 50 AUD per person, i think. we would like to join the english programme, but it was sold out. however, we had the courage to join the Chinese programme though none of us understand Chinese well *because of the price, of course! haha*. BUT, we were very lucky because the programme was changed to bilingual programme at the end. i think maybe because of the demand of their sold-out english programme, as i saw a couple of western people there. westernes would not understand Chinese at all, right? they must demand for an english programme.
okay, back to the trip itself.
we did not take many photos because of the rain and the wind. the wind is MUCH WORSE than the rain itself. even we had umbrellas, we were still wet because of the wind. haiyoh.
this one was taken from our toilet-stop. my mom said that this one was actually a tourist spot, too. but i forgot the name :p
this was in our another stop spot, because the tour leader said the spot was good. anyway, you can see the wind, right? haha -__- and pay attention, my cloth was not wet YET. oh and both of us did wear wrong cloth. all people there wore thick jacket and long pants, but look what i wore! we did that because we thought we were going to the beach *all beaches in Indonesia is hot, hellooowww*
our first stop is George something food court. we had to walk from the bus and that took quite an effort. sigh.
too bad i did not have any photo of the restaurant, but i did take a photo of what happened in front of the restaurant. there were a group of people (as you can see below) who sold food, things, drinks, etc for charity. meaning that money they got will be donated. wasnt it good? and look! all the people selling were elderlies!
oh i also remember what i had for lunch there, spaghetti bolognaise. my mom said that it was very australian. i did not really notice the difference, but i liked it more than any spaghetti i've eaten.
after we made ourselves a lil bit warmer, we were trying really hard walking to the bus. though the sky was sooo clear, but the rain and the wind was very bad. sigh. it was a wrong day to go to the ocean, wasnt it?
the photo below was the 12 Apostles. the reality was much nicer yet the wind was REALLY killing me. even my mom had to force me really hard to go see this apostle *there were people who decided to stay in the bus, anyway*. and thanks to my mom who forced me, it was really good and i believe it would be much better if there were no rain and wind. we were having a difficult time to take photos because our freezing hand and we also had to make sure our umbrella did not fly away because of the strong wind while we were taking pictures.
i only posted the one below to show you all that even i wore an umbrella, my top was still wet! can you see? hahaha -__-
oh and this was taken at some park near the 12 Apostle *forgot the name* and i did see kangaroos jumping around! i did not have chance to take their pictures as they were too far and too fast and yes it was very difficult to take my camera.
this was our very-funny tour leader with his also-very-funny poncho.
these were just posted to show you the very-strong wind! haha -___- and our wet clothes though we had umbrellas.
THE NEXT DAY, first we went around the city by Melbourne's free-city circle tram.
these were photos of the tram :)
this actually is the hmm i dont know what the word is, but it is where the driver drives the tram. the cockpit, maybe? hahaha. 
and this one was the only stop where the tram was stopped by the driver without any of us demanded. i did not know what building it was. i was too sleepy even to pay attention to the road. my mom was angry about this. but hey, yesterday was a very tiring day! 
and theenn, part two ends here :)
