Visitor from Perth - Day 6

[ 2fc studio dance orchestra ] b-a-double-l-double-a-r-a-t

Had a great night sleep at Sovereign Hill Lodge... Not sure if I snored... Anyway, check out this photo which we initially wanted to do... Ain't Asian looks funny dressed up like this? ...heeeee... Well, we made an appointment at Sovereign Hill yesterday to dress up and take these photos at 1130am but we realised that by the time they have developed the photos, it might be late in the afternoon!? ...and we didn't wanna spend more time at Sovereign Hill cos we have seen enough...

So we decided to check out the town centre of Ballarat as Rabbit also wanna get some postcards... Ballarat town centre has lotsa old buildings... We found a place to have big lunch before headed to our next destination - Kryal Castle...

It was such a warm day and there's so many flies... I hate flies!!! ...Anyway, Kryal Castle is a medieval Castle that offers "activities including medieval re-enactments, magic shows and Live birds of prey displays. Other presentations include costumes of the World, the largest display of arms and armour in the Southern Hemisphere, Medical Museum, giant maze, chapel ,torture chamber dungeons, comical graveyard, Magna Carta and more"...

Since we missed out the chance to dress up at Sovereign Hill earlier, we couldn't let go of another chance to dress up in mediaval costumes especially seeing so many visitors dressed up and walked around in the castles as noble ladies, the King and his armed guards...

Rabbit dressed up as the Queen, and she found her very good looking and very brave King-to-be in the castle!!! ...And I dressed up as a flower maid (which kinda look like a bride though cos all in white?) and I was rescued by the shining amour hero from the evil Queen (ah-hahahahhhaa!!!)....We had fun dressing up and that's absolutely the highlight of the day... kekekeke....

Anyway, we then came back to Melb and walk around at Williamstown before we headed to Brunswick Street for dinner at Cherry Lounge... It was Friday night and everyone was out for partying/dining... We then headed to Lygon Street for another walk before wethe night ends... (and Rabbit drooled over all the pretty desserts at Brunetti)...

Visitor from Perth - Day 5

[ 2fc studio dance orchestra ] b-a-double-l-double-a-r-a-t

Could not remember if we had breakfast before heading to Daylesford. And I also forgot to bring the address of the Lake House as I made reservation since Rabbit is crazy over The Lake House (which her handsome prince KR starred in). Anyway, the lunch wasn't too bad but we were under dressed. The bright side was that the weather was absolutely beautiful and sunny!!

As we drove to Ballarat, Rabbit said she couldn't get the "ballarat" song out of her head (cos that song was played so frequently on local radio station)... hehee... Anyway, we arrived Ballarat and checked into Sovereign Hill Lodge and browsed around the old cowboy gold mine town... Dinner and the night show was included. I had high expectation for the night show, but it turned out just alright (maybe because it was so damn cold and I was a little tired??)

(Anyway, more photo will be posted to online album soon! Stay tune!)
