Melbourne 3 Days Itinerary (Australia Trip Part 3)

Setelah bermalam di kereta dari Sydney, sampailah aku di kota terakhir trip ini, Melbourne! This multicultural city supposed to be nice If I could stay longer, sadly I got only 3 days. Dua malam tidur di city dan satu malam menginap di hostel dekat pantai, itinerary yang kulakukan selama di Melbourne tak terlalu ngoyo dan lebih kalem.

After spending the night from Sydney, I arrived in the last city, Melbourne!This multicultural city supposed to be nice If I could stay longer, sadly I got only 3 days. Two nights I spend in the city and one night in a hostel near the beach, I do slower move itinerary here.

Day 10

Tiba tiba pindah hostel semalam ini, ngekor Jasmin yang bakalan tinggal di Kings Street aku memutuskan untuk mengurangi waktu stay di St Kilda beach yang ku booking sebelumnya. It's decided, I stay in Melbourne Interconnection Travellers for one night. Hostelmates di sini juga baik baik, and I met my first muslim friend from France after several days. Sayangnya lupa tukeran Facebook dan foto bareng hahaha, si pea'.

Suddenly move to the hostel for one night and follow Jasmin to stay in Kings Street I reduce the stay in St Kilda beach then. Its decided I stay in Melbourne Interconnection Travellers for one night. I got nice hostelmates there and met my first muslim friend from France after several days. Unfortunately I forgot to exchange Facebook account and took pictures together hahaha what a fool.

enjoy the coffee before going around

Agenda hari ini adalah sudden walk bersama duo Germany ini, kami berkeliling kota seharian dimulai dari makan siang di Hudsons Coffee shop dilanjutkan perjalanan kami berkeliling kota naik tram.

Todays agenda is sudden walk with these duo Germany, we walk around the city start from having lunch in Hudsons Coffee shop then doing the hop on hop of by tram. Yes! 

Yes! Visiting many places in one day, combining the tram zone and walking around finally we visit these places : State Library of Victoria, Flinders Street, Federation Center, Tourism Center, Australian Center of Moving Image, Parliament, Yarra river bank, Royal Botanic Garden, Arch of Remembrance and shop to Coles before going home.What a productive day :D

Shrine of Remembrance

what a nice day!

Day 11

enjoying the hotdog near Yarra bank river

Karena hanya punya waktu tiga hari, Philip Island dan Great Ocean Road trip skip dulu ye, biar ada alasan kembali ke sini. Dua hari dimanfaatkan untuk keliling kota dan sehari kemudian untuk ke pantai. Fair enough, huh?

Since I only got three days, I skipped Philip islands and Great Ocean Road so when I get back here next time I still have reasons where to go. These two days I spent for city walk and one day in the beach. Fair enough huh?

Hari ke sebelas masih sekitar kota, dimulai dari Queen Victoria Market demi beli hot doughnut dan beli cemilan, hari Jumat ini memang penuh berkah. Baru kelelahan jalan, duduk di dekat toko bunga ketemu rombongan turis dari Singapore yang baik hati dan banyak ngajak ngobrol dan ngasih donat. Katanya, ini rejeki kamu nak apalagi Jumuah mubarok semoga perjalanannya lancar ya. Duile terharu ketemu lagi orang baik, baru mau jajan donat ada yang njajanin :". Ke Hosier Lane setelah lelah keliling market. Here it is, tempat gravity paling hits se Australia, Hozier Lane!Sorenya pindah ke hostel terakhir yang letaknya di St Kilda beach yang berjarak tempuh 30 menit seharusnya, karena abang yang jaga hostel ngawur ngasih petunjuk arah jadilah perjalanan menuju hostel pake acara nyasar nggeret nggeret tas belanjaan sejauh lebih dari 1 km.

a must to try, hot doughnut in Queen Victoria Market

Day 11 still walking around the city started from Queen Victoria Market for its hot doughnut, that was such a blessful Friday. Getting tired walking and sit next to a florist, I met a group of kindhearted Singaporean who talked much to me and bought me the doughnut I was craving for. This is a blessed day for you and we wish you a great trip nak, they said. I was blessed to meet good people. Going to Hosier Lane after tired going around the market. Here it is the most popular gravity in Australia, Hosier Lane! This afternoon I moved to the last hostel in St Kilfa beach which supposed to be 30 minutes away from city but the hostel man told me the wrong way that caused me walk 1 km more.

Check out dari hostel akhirnya aku melanjutkan agenda terakhir demi melihat bathing boxes yang konon katanya mahal di Brighton Beach. Cukup naik tram menuju Stasiun terdekat dan dilanjutkan naik train menuju Brighton Station, dilanjutkan berjalan kaki sekitar 8 menit maka rumah kotak warna - warni ini bisa anda nikmati. Datanglah ketika summer dan angin tak terlalu kencang bertiup. Jangan sepertiku, karena keterbatasan waktu datang saat angin sedang kencangnya bertiup, kembung kembung dah. Pintu masuk ke Brighton Beach berada di jalur jogging dan sepeda, jadi jangan meleng ya ketika menuju kesana.

Check out from the hostel I finally continue the last plan to see the expensive bathing boxes in Brighton beach. Just take the tram to the nearest station then take the train to Brighton Beach Station, plus 8 minutes walking and here they are the colorful boxes. Come to the beach during summer when the wind not this strong. I only had that day to come, so sorry dear stomach to hurt you. The gate to enter Brighton Beach is on the jogging track and cycling, so pay attention ye.

Lanjut kembali ke kota untuk sekedar berjalan kaki di sekitar mantan hostel sebelumnya setelah menitipkan tas. Menunggu malam tiba demi mengambil foto Flinders Street, dikejar bapak bapak tua dan rombongan dedek emesh yang mabuk sambil mesem mesem ngajak kenalan.  Malamnya naik shuttle ke bandara dengan rasa ketakutan yang berlebih karena menjadi satu satunya penumpang di mobil yang ngebutnya melebihi Baraya travel ini. Gak lagi lagi!

Going back to the city to enjoy walking around my ex hostel after putting my bag. Waiting for the night to take Flinders Street pictures, chased by an old man and a bunch of drunk college guys who approached me and introduce himself. Then going to airport using shuttle bus driving me crazy since I was the only passenger and the car speeding up more than Baraya travel. Not gonna take the shuttle anymore!

Day 13

Menunggu flight lewat tengah malam dan ketemu temen baru asli India yang cantiknya kaya Kajol, perjalanan bosan jadi menyenangkan. Sadly I have to go back to reality after such trip. Kesimpulannya, dua minggu tetap saja kurang. Semoga bisa road trip setahun penuh kaya yang lain. Syukur syukur bisa trip tanpa harus biaya sendiri dan dibayar.
Well, thanks a lot for such nice trip this two weeks Straya!
Waiting for the after midnight flight and met a pretty Indian girl like Kajol, my boring waiting turned out to be fun. Sadly I have to go back to reality after such trip. The conclusion of the trip is two weeks will never be enough. Hope to go on road trip the whole year like my friends do. Would be nicer If only I go on the trip without spending my own money and get paid. Well, thanks a lot for such nice trip this two weeks Straya!

I will come back!
