Melbourne — Skydeck

My trip to Australia was an unforgettable experience. It was a dream come true to visit this beautiful country that I had always heard so much about. I arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday night after a long flight, and I was exhausted. I decided to take some rest on Thursday and start my adventure from Friday.

On Friday, I woke up early and excited to explore the city. I began my journey by walking in the Melbourne city to get the vibe, see people and shops. My first stop was the Botanic Garden, which was absolutely stunning. I spent a few hours in the garden, exploring the lush greenery, and taking in the breathtaking views. Inside the garden, I visited the Shrine of Remembrance, a beautiful building that commemorates the lives lost in wars. The building was awe-inspiring, and it left me speechless.

After spending some time at the Shrine of Remembrance, I headed to the National Gallery of Victoria. The museum was filled with fascinating art, and I enjoyed learning about the different artists and their works. I spent several hours in the museum, admiring the art and learning about the history of Australian culture.

In the afternoon, I went to Federation Square to take a break and relax. The square was busy, but I loved the atmosphere and enjoyed sitting and taking in the surroundings. For lunch, I went to an Italian cafe called Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana, located in the Collins Street Precinct. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. After lunch, I continued walking and exploring Melbourne Central and Chinatown. I also visited the Youth Project, an alley filled with many beautiful paintings on the walls, which was very interesting.

On Saturday, I spent time with friends and had dinner at a restaurant in Crown Towers. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. We had a great time catching up and enjoying each other’s company.

On Sunday, I took a flight to Sydney to see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The views were incredible, and I was blown away by the beauty of these landmarks. I spent the whole day exploring Sydney, and it was one of the best days of my trip.

On Monday, I went to Sea Life Aquarium, where I saw many different sea creatures and learned about marine life. The aquarium was incredible, and I was amazed by the different types of marine life that I saw.

On Tuesday, I went to Puffing Billy Railway, a historic steam train that took me on a scenic ride through the lush green forests. The train ride was relaxing, and I enjoyed the views of the beautiful scenery around me. In the afternoon, I went to Seaford Beach, which had a fantastic view and was a perfect place to relax. I spent a few hours at the beach, taking in the sun, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

On Wednesday, I went to Melbourne Zoo, where I saw many exotic animals and learned about their habitats. The zoo was incredible, and I was amazed by the different types of animals that I saw. I spent several hours at the zoo, exploring the different habitats and learning about the animals.

The highlight of my trip was on Thursday when I went to Skydeck, located on the top 88th floor, where I had a breathtaking view of the city. The view from the top was incredible, and I was amazed by the beauty of Melbourne from that height. I also had a drink there, which made for a fantastic experience.

On Friday, I spent time with friends, had lunch at a Pizza place, and then had ice cream. At night, I checked in to the hotel near the airport and had an early flight the next morning.

In conclusion, my trip to Australia was an unforgettable experience. I saw many beautiful places, met new people, and learned about the rich culture and history of Australia. Melbourne and Sydney are truly stunning cities, and the landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are a must-see for anyone visiting Australia. The Botanic Garden, National Gallery of Victoria, Sea Life Aquarium, and Melbourne Zoo are also great places to visit, especially if you are interested in nature and wildlife.

Overall, I highly recommend visiting Australia to anyone looking for an adventure and a chance to explore a beautiful country with so much to offer. The people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the scenery is breathtaking. It is a trip that I will always cherish and remember.
