The counting has an end

The sun made my day today
I can't wait to come to the homeland of Vegemite
Clothes piles are ready

Good night
It has been a very sunny day today. And I just love when you go out the door in the morning, feel the sun and also see how much it can change everything...I guess we just had way too little sun this Winter which is why I appreciate every single minute of it.
But I was also pretty happy because my little countdown is coming to its end...
The clothes piles are ready, cameras and films are packed, the ipod filled with some good music and I am quiet excited about tomorrow when a plane and me in it, will take off flying to Australia.
I look so much forward to being there...not just to take pictures, enjoy the amazing blue skies and the sun, but most of all to see a certain person....
If anyone has some good tips for Melbourne or Sydney, I would love to read about your favourite places...
A 23h trip is waiting for me...and I should better get some sleep..
Good night
Maria

Aah ich freu mich so für dich! Tolle Tipps habe ich nicht wirklich, aber du kannst in Melbourne mal ins Espy gehen und dort ein paar Biere für mich trinken ;)

amy said...

oh you're visiting my little country! if you're bored in melbourne i can always take you out for coffee :) the national galleries are wonderful, ron mueck is on at the moment. http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au

have a wonderful trip! :)

melski said...

how exciting!

I'm ditto with Amy, I'm a melbourne girl too :) The galleries really are fabulous! ... I've been sitting staring at the screen for a quite a few minutes trying to decide what to recommend cause I love my city and exploring new places and my boyfriend writes a coffee blog so I have a lot of faves...

Ok, I love Babka for pastry and breakfasts. It's 358 Brunswick St, Fitzroy.
St Ali has great coffee: 12 Yarra Place, South Melbourne.
and my boyfriend always suggests Switchboard, it's in Manchester Unity Arcade, 220 Collins St, CBD.
Another yummy bakery/cafe (I've noticed on your blog that you share my love of pastry!) is Sugardough at 163 Lygon St, Brunswick.

Ideas keep popping into my head but I don't want to overwhelm you with suggestions or write the worlds longest comment, so I'd better stop! If you'd like more or to know favourite streets for cafes and fun clothes and other shops feel free to email me, melskimoments(at)gmail(dot)com

Hope you have a great trip and remembered to pack the monocle :)

Go to Studley Park Boathouse in Kew, Melbourne, an hire a little row boat to paddle on the river! So much fun!

Clovelly in Sydney is lovely, and so is Leichhardt St and the "Spanish Quarter"

Have fun! Hope you love Australia!
