Continuation of the trip: Days 3 and 4

Okie, time to update on my Victoria - New South Wales trip

Day 3 - City Tour

Because we booked 2 tours from the same travel agency, we were given a free half day city tour. I spent most of the time nodding away in the travel coach cos it was simply too comfy! It was raining and rainy days are best for sleeping in... heh heh...

Anyways, after the blurry city tour, we meet our friend's brother who brought us around trying out different chocolate shops.

Pic 2: Me kissing the cup


Pic 3: Joyce & I posing at the South bank, with the city of Melbourne behind us!


Pic 4: Me "wearing" a huge crown at the Crown Casino


Day 4: We went to this place called Sovereign Hill, according to the guides, it used to be a mining town. The gold rush began when a lil gold was found (something like 3 grams?! or is it 3 kilograms??) Anyways, after all the gold has been dug out, the place is converted to a tourist attraction to attract stupid people like us. =P
