St. Kilda

Counting down to 6 days left in Australia and I'm back in St. Kilda.

This time, I brought along two of my fellow Hong Kongers. We're all leaving the same week so they understand my need to explore every part of town before I go.

We took the tram (which we rarely do since it's a complicated system to grasp) and headed to the famous St. Kilda!

We bumped into this hidden flower-covered house on the way to the beach. Looked like something straight out of a Disney film. 

It was gorgeous out...and also burning hot. I was lucky I remembered to apply sunscreen on my face before I left the house or I would've been toast.

We wanted to get on some rides in Luna Park but for some reason it was closed for the day. Sad that I probably won't have time to actually go this week!

Disappointed, sweat-drenched, and hungry, we decided it was time for some food. I took them to the restaurant I ate at with my mom during spring break, knowing it was going to be phenomenal. I was so right and this time I remembered to catch the name! 

 The place is called Cicciolina, and has office chairs for seats. It gets incredibly busy at around 1pm so you should either book in advance or go a little earlier like I did.

 

 

 I ordered the Linguini with salmon, leek, spinach and a lemony sauce with olive oil.

My friends had a humongous beef sandwich and a vegetarian lasagne.


Oh and how can I forget the 2 dollar oysters.
Everything smelled and tasted as good as it looks. I'm so glad I got to come back!

Feeling full-y satisfied, we roamed the town and then headed back to the city.

Oh and we what? Ate? Again? Yup.

A sunny day out in Melbs is not complete without some gelato.
My ice-cream eating abilities were put to test when my scoop was dripping every two seconds. The intense Aus heat beats anywhere else and I used more napkins than I needed..

Had a blast today as one usually would when all they do is eat. #noragrets. We returned to the lovely and familiar Glenferrie Road where our dorms are located. A couple more nights in our cozy apartments before we peace out and are back in our own beds in HK.
