Melb trip 3!!!


2nd day of melb trip!!

we went to woolworth nearby to get mineral water and some snacks..and see what i found!! Frozen durian in Melb..aww...even though i dont really like durian but it reminds me of msia...aww...Melb is really a happening city.















We reached Mt. Buller after the long 3-4 hours drive in Estima we rented.The long drive is definitely worth it when u the breathtaking scenery in mt.buller.. i dont like winter but when i saw the thick snow with beautiful scenery, i totally fell in love in it!!! No wonder it was one of the most popular vacation places in Melb.. we were very lucky as our car able to go uphill.. If the snow too thick, we have to take a bus up which will cost us $40-50 per person if i am not mistaken.. whew....
Five of us decided to try ice skiing which includes andrew, YS, anlan, Li yin, caleb and me.. the ice skiing costs about $146 inclu equipment hires, entrance fees, and chair lifts. Not that bad right? i heard some other places are like $300++..
The staffs measured our foot size, weight, n height and we looked like clumsy transformers with the heavy shoes we had..
Here we go!! oops..my unglam pink warm socks exposed again..(1st expose was when i was asked to take off my boots in airport when passing custom.hehe)






The chair lifts which brought us uphills to land..i always forgot to push down the safety bar n the staffs have to shouted at me from far..hahaha
Us before our 2nd time ice skiing
i m really glad that i did this ice skiing as it is really awesome!! I will really hope to try ice skii in Korea or NZ if got chance.. Even though i fell so many times and had bruises all over my legs, but it will not stop me from ice skiing..It is another adventurous sport which i love to the max!! One of my childhood dream comes true..Yeah!!
In ice skiing, u must really be prepared to fall and dare to ski again..u must twist ur waist abit to control ur direction and turn ur legs diagonally to stop..
