Melbourne - Day 1 & 2

Flight pukul H2230, we got the 3 seats to ourselves. jadi adam boleh la tidur baring. haih. seats with bassinets adalah fully booked. ada sekali tidurkan adam kat tengah, n later part of the journey, di hujung sebab sibuk nak bergossip ngan gabai. Alhamdulillah, adam is still bf-ing, so amat mudah ye perjalanan kami. tidak perlu mengangkut botol2 susu, susu dan seangkatan. 

Masa ni, kat Melbourne tengah musim autumn. so expect showers, cloudy days. temperature : 9c-16c. 

Travel  tips/ what to bring during autumn (apa yang aku bawak la)
1. umbrella, ponchos
2. warmer / long john
3. thermos/ flask
4. snowcap, gloves, mafla
5. wool socks
nanti aku tambah lagi..

Travel with baby (note to myself)
Tips 1 : bf your baby during take off n whenever u feel air pressure.
Tips 2 : bawa bantal n selimut (n for adam, bawa TATA (giraffe) dia). kami naik AA, so memang takde bantal segala.
Tips 3 : bottled water, memang aku bawa naik. if kena rampas, rampaslah. if tak kena rampas, rezeki la. 
Tips 4 : dalam diaper bag, ada finger food (biskut la), sippy cup, disposable diapers, clothes (2 sets), wet tissue, napkin (if he pooed), burp cloth, bip, socks, travel set (baby bath, lotion, yuyi, bedak). eh banyak kan? senang. if anything happened, anda ada almost semua kan?
Tips 5 : be calm during take off n landing. kalau anda cuak, baby pon turut sama cuak.
Tips 6 : oh ye, kami bawa stroller sekali.


 



flight kami on time. H0830 tiba di tullmarine airport. customs pon lepas je (eventhough kami bawak sambal ikan bilis). tak payah buka beg bagai. kami declare semua. "food for the baby".

dah pakai sweater. adam sleeps during the immigration n customs process. sonang hati ku


I went to the information counter, while gabai was looking for Franskton and Peninsula Airport  Shuttle (FAPAS) counter. sambil2 tu, kutip la borchures, maps, guides etc yang perlu. 

 the route to Great Ocean Road (GOR)

Turned out FAPAS ni tiada counter, memang terus kena pergi kat luar terminal tu. Bas sudah menunggu.

We bought return tickets (to Park Regis Suite) online prior to our visit here (beli pon last minute!). beli online di http://www.fapas.com.au/home. Costs us AUD64 for a couple. adam adalah free.


hujan renyai2 diluar, dan sejuuukkkkk! 11c. cakap berasap2. so kami balut adam dengan selimut sebelum pergi ke bas.



the said bus/shuttle


 adam dah bangun! terus sarungkan snowcap


sampai di Park Regis Suite. oh, kami tak duduk di sini. but this is the nearest FAPAS station to Malaysian Hall Melbourne.


ready!

we had 2 backpacks (incl adam's diaper bag), 2 luggage bags and a stroller. how are we gonna walk from Park Regis to MH and its raining?? aha! i babyweared adam, carry a backpack, tarik 1 beg and pegang payung. can u imagine? gabai pula carried the stroller & a backpack n tarik 1 beg. dia kena hujan la. berapa jauh ye Park Regis to MH? about 200m kot.

H1100 : sampai je kat MH, Tn Hj Rudie tu ada. n bilik is ready to check in. voila!

mari tengok aksi adam yang busy touring the room. I'll review about the room in the next entry.



boleh tak kami tidur lepas check in? hahaha. pkul 3+pm baru terbangun. terus siap2 nak keluar.

MH building.

adam pakai longjohn di dalam. hehe. 

Firstly, nak cerita pasal myki card. dia macam touch n go la. so everytime naik tram, kita kena touch the myki card. details di sini ye http://www.myki.com.au/  .

iklan **TAPI MYKI CARD KAMI DIPINJAMKAN OLEH JAJA & ALYN. so kami tak yah la beli kad baru. Terima kasih tak terhingga!!!!**
the charges:

 

 

Wednesday + Thursday + Sat + Sun = aud19.72. so kami top up aud20 for each myki card. kami top up online siap2.

so sampai je town, kami terus pergi visitor information centre.check weather for the next 5 days, operating hours for attractions, macam-macam la
St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne




around the national gallery of victoria






we bought lord of the fries for dinner. cost us about aud30 for 2 meals.

my own version of koala


adam rindu nenek-mi dia. yela, derang baru balik from umrah, the next day, kami pulak berjalan. sobs

total damage for day 2 = fapas 64 + myki  20 + dinner 30 = aud114
