Australia; Melbourne Itinerary part II #xbtravelogue

Hello! *blows dust off this space* I'm finally back with part II of #xbtravelogue to Melb. Omg part I of this post was in September?! Sincere apologies if you have been checking back for updates.. So here goes~~ Day 4 at Melbourne where we finally had a decent breakfast in the hotel. The first 2 days we had to make do with takeaways as our tours were earlier than breakfast hours, and it was very nice of Tune Hotel to have 'box breakfast' service! (packet orange juice/milk, cereal, granola bar) It was also our last breakfast at Tune Hotel before we checked in to a new stay for the next 2 nights!  Gobbled down our breakie and walked 10mins to Downtown from Tune Hotel to collect our car we rented from rentalcars.com ! It was pretty stressful to drive in Melb downtown because they have trams in the middle of the road cruising along with you. Which means other than cars, we still had to look out for trams~  Good thing Sean did some research on the road signs ...

Australia; Melbourne Itinerary part I #xbtravelogue

Don't know how I should begin this entry since the trip to Melbourne was more than a month ago!  Call me the queen of procrastination, this entry has been in my draft for weeks... Anw this vacation was rather impromtu cos I had a hard time thinking of what to get Sean for his birthday which was also our 8th anniversary, and since SIA was having promo, why not travel?  We wanted to get out of Asia this time but couldnt decide between Sydney and Melbourne. After seeking advice from friends, we decided to go with the latter. We found a pretty good 4d3n Groupon deal at $400+ for 3 nights of stay in Tune Hotel, 2 days of day tour of our choice and airport transfer. They were saying it was pretty risky to go with Groupon cos we won't have anywhere to stay if they were to screw up.   First thing we did was looking for SIM card in the airport the moment we got off the plane. Queued for a good 45mins and left because the queue wasn't moving. Thank god the a...
