St. Kilda & Lygon Park

Oh, I didn’t mentioned, we checked out from Nepean Country Club on Friday and has been staying at Marjorie’s place in Glenwaverly. Marjorie is the university mate of Boon. She has since decided to settled down in Australia. The reason why we were bunking in at Marjorie's place is because the timeshare check-out is fixed on a specific day and besides it is a bit too far to drive to and fro from Melbourne. Rosebud is about 1 hour drive from Melbourne and if we do this twice a day on daily basis, it can be very tiring.


Anyway, in this picture is Sai Chuen and Jackie, house mate of Majorie. I hit it off instantly with Jackie as we both shared the common interest in hollywood gossip!


On Sunday morning, the whole gang went to St.Kilda for a brunch and stroll around. St. Kilda is a very very remarkable and beautiful place. It has a picturesque view of the bay and waterfront. Houses here are also very classy and lean towards the upper end market.


We were walking towards Luna Park.
Luna Park is like the most important landmark in St. Kilda. See the laughing face and you know you're in St. Kilda. This is like a good ol' fun fair place where you have stall games and simple roller coaster or ferris wheel. We didn't actually go in to the park. Just passing by towards Acland Street.


OK, we were in a Italian restaurant in St.Kilda. The food is good but price is towards the medium high. So after the St.Kilda, we head to Lygon Street.


This is Lygon Park
Lygon Street is also known as Little Italy in Melbourne. It has its origins in the early immigration of Italian migrants to Melbourne. It has rows and rows of Italian restaurants and most of them have tables outside for you to feel the cool breeze. But since we have already had our brunch, we try out the Gelatin instead.


Yummy, yummy
