Hello Geelong!

 Hi :)

Last Sunday me, Zizi, Aliya and Hana went on our very first Australian road trip to Geelong :) we borrowed Ariff's car for the occasion coz the rented cars were kinda expensive and we didn't wanna pay that much. Left around 10 am, Hana drove! Hehehe she's so good at it, I wouldn't dare to drive over here, lol dah lah it was her first time :D the journey didn't take that long, only abt like 1 hour or so, then once we were in Geelong we decided to head to the Great Ocean Road. Otw there we passed this little market thing and decided to stop and have a look around :) there were lotsa nice artsy stalls and stuff but I didn't really buy anything. I wanted to but I didn't hee, I controlled myself :) I did however end up buying one canvas bag that has little birds and lions and other animals on it coz I need an A3 sized bag for college anyway :D and it was a bargain, only 10 bucks! There were also lotsa stalls selling food, like corn and calamari and they had this barbecue stall with hotdogs and everything and it smelled soooo good but we had to refrain ourselves coz it wasn't halal so yeah :( after that we were on the road again, and once we were nearing GOR we got all excited coz we could see the ocean and it's sooo pretty and amazing and we could feel the sea breeze and everything :) it was magical! Hee so we stopped for a while at the road side and took some pictures (of course!) hehe :)

Then we headed back towards Geelong city which is kinda nice too, just a little deserted coz it was Easter and some of the shops were closed, not like we wanted to go shopping or anything hehe, we headed to the pier. Aliya wanted to get her paella so we looked around for it and found it and we ended up getting some food too. We brought out our pre-packed food from home and blanket and sat down by the grass and it was so best and relaxing lah :) hehe. The weather was really nice too, sunny & windy; my favourite :) we had prawns, fruits, chips and ice cream. Aliya was so gatal to feed the seagulls so she took some of our sandwiches and fed them hahaha and then a whole lot of them came and surrounded her and they made these funny noises and it was kinda scary lah coz they kept their eyes on her and macam nak attack! Hahaha but it was funny too lol. They kept following her around, hehe! After that we took some pictures by the pier and headed back to Melb city and it was Aliya's turn to drive :)

Once we got to the city, we went to St Kilda for dinner coz we all felt like having nachos :) went to this place called Amigos and the food was really nice, we had seafood nachos, quesadillas and grilled prawn salad :) after that we drove around the city and went to Brunswick St and we're planning to go there soon for a little shopping trip since there are a lot of nice boutiques over there :) so yeah the whole trip was really nice eventhough it wasn't that long hehe had lots of fun and I'm sure we'll have another road trip soon :D
