Melbourne 墨尔本- St Paul's Cathedral, La Belle Miette, Philip Island

Day 3
A brand new day to kick start, it took us some time to figure out how the tram fare works. At first, we thought that we can only take twice per day for that price. We end up walking around from streets to streets, which is quite nice, we looked around more. But you can actually take more than 2 rides with the same charge if you are travelling in the same zone. Anyway, we just woke up early around get to our first destination.

#1 St Paul's Cathedral
There are a lot of churches around, but this is the famous one. No entry fee but we get a photography permit cost around $5 if I had not mistaken. I felt everything described in my Art History Class so true.






#2 La Belle Miette 
http://labellemiette.com.au/mac/P.S. Highly recommend !!

Dar brought us to a sweet place for Macarons. WEE~~ I am not a macarons lover, but this is so romantic. And so much better than the one I tried in Columbus, which is already considered good. The tastes, flavors, texture, color and aroma: PERFECTO! The stall is small and located in a small lane with other cafes, I felt like I was in Paris. Hahaz. 









#3 Philip Island Penguin Parade

Yeah. We had a half day tour to Philip Island Penguin Parade by The little penguin bus . This trip is grade A +++, Budget Express of Penguin Parade cost:  $65 (promotion rate). I really enjoyed the trip, 2 hour scenic drive (countryside view, sea view, mountain view) Totally amazing~~ AMAZING. Different from other tour, the tour guide Mac brought us to some secret places in the Philip Island before seeing the Penguin Parade. At the Penguin Parade, we had extra time than other tours, we spent our time long enough to see little penguins coming out from the sea towards their burrow and around the bushes. The little penguins are so so so cute but so sad no photography allowed. During our time, we saw about 50 little penguins.. :)

I love Melbourne more and more... Look forward for the next post
