Melbourne ♥ (March 2012) - Day 5 (Melbourne Zoo and Lindt Cafe at Collins Street)
Hey guys! How are you?
I feel bad for not updating much! I've been busy with work, catching up with friends, reading (Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is a good read!) and basically, life! I finally have some free time today so here we go with the continuation of my Melbourne Trip!

Melbourne (March 2012) - Day 5
On my 5th day in Melbourne, Karen had things to attend to at the church so I went to the zoo alone! YAY! I was so excited for my first trip to a zoo! I was already imagining all the cute fluffy animals!
How to go to Melbourne Zoo?
With Melbourne's convenient public transportation, it's really easy!
The method that I used was: Take the train(Upfield) from Flinders Street Station to Royal Park.
Please scroll down until the bottom for a few photos of food if photos of cute animals and kids don't interest you.
:)
With my map and camera, I went on my own little adventure! Did not take photos of ALL the animals cause some of them were either too far or too difficult to capture! Ahem... the lion and the wombat!
The weather forecast predicted the day to be warm but it's ok. It's quite shady at the zoo so I only had to use my cap at some parts only.
More info can be found at their website here.
First animal that I saw upon entrance, the peacock!
Sun conures
The most beautiful animal in the zoo!
Snow leopard!
Really love it! Its white and beautiful mane~
Big paws and long fluffy tail~
Beautiful eyes with really cute ears~
Awwwwwww.....
Just look at its tail!!
:D
Sadly, it's one of the endangered animals!
Bear!
Awww...
Saw many school kids with files going around the zoo in groups and I was curious with their activity! Heh!
If only we have a zoo for our kids to do activities like this~
Another peacock!!
Did I mention that there were many school kids?
That's just some of them!
Relaxing at the zoo~
Gorilla sitting like a boss!
Most walkways were shady like this.
Mandrill!
Pink and blue butt? Nice :P
Awwww cute baby!!
Gibbon monkey staring at people in that pose for quite a long time.
Black and white colobus.
Cute toddler waving at me!
*melts*
Koala bear!!!
XD
Just look at those fluffy ears!
Laughing Kookaburra.
No kidding. Its name is really that!
Still so cute!
Tapir!
Collared peccary.
Cute right?
Golden pheasant?
Pelican.
Butterfly!
And more butterflies!
Elephants that didn't bother to turn around :(
Orang utan!
Another cute toddler!
Cute meerkats!
A zebra.
Giraffe!
It's really tall!
Ostrich! hehe
Kangaroos!
It was really hot then! They didn't even want to bat an eyelid!
See?
But I was hoping to see those big kangaroos! Hmm... maybe some other time in another zoo hehe
An emu!!
And so, after spending a few hours there walking leisurely while going gaga over the cute animals and kids, I took the train back to the city.
Got myself a badge as a token of remembrance. Was so tempted to get those fluffy and cute soft toys but yeah, just thinking about the limited space in my room made me put them back. LOL
It was only a little past 2 in the afternoon when I got back to the city and some of the shops were still opened! Yay! Window shopped a bit and my legs brought me to Lindt Cafe at Collins Street.
Legs, why did you bring me there?
HAHA
And so I went in and ordered a slice of cake and a glass of cold drink to kill off the heat and reward myself for walking for so many hours alone.
I couldn't decide which cake to have cause all of them looked so yummy so I told the staff that I wanted something chocolate but not too sweet. And she recommended.......
St. Moritz.
Very pricey but the taste made all the AUD worth it! It's so so sooooooooo good! Plus, the staff was really nice too! She brought me to a table right away and I was served a glass of cold water.
:)
Rich, silky tiers of dark, milk and white chocolate mousse are separated by thin layers of almond cake. The decorative top of this delicious cake is created from thin squares of Lindt dark chocolate, dusted with cocoa powder.
Description taken from Lindt's website here.
How could one go to Lindt Cafe and not order chocolate drink right? And so, I had.....
Iced milk chocolate!
Mmmmm..... so chocolate and so smooth but so sweet too! My opinion is to share it with another person if you are ordering this next time.
Nice interior design, awesome cake, yummy drink surrounded by lots of chocolate~
I was grateful that I could experience that on my short trip there.
Ever since I tasted the Lindt Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls last year(Karen got some for me), I just had to get some! Smooth and creamy milk chocolate and peanut butter melting in your mouth... heaven!
XD
Enough to satisfy my cravings for a few months!
I don't get why we don't have this here when we have any other flavours! Oh wells...
Lindt Cafe
Address: 271, Collins Street, CBD, Melbourne.

Lindt Cafe on Urbanspoon here.
It was still early and the city's full of people getting of from work so I walked around the city to kill some time.
Spotted this band, Our Symphonic Life, performing outside David Jones and I stood there to enjoy their music for a bit.
Not bad I'd say.
Click here for their facebook page.
Then I continued with more window shopping, or rather, absorbing the environment there. Legs brought me back to Melbourne Central Shopping Centre so I spent some money time at the Cotton On there. When I was done with it, all the other shops had closed.
T.T
Went to the food court and ordered ramen for dinner.
My charsiu ramen.
Nothing too special, just alright.
The sky started to get dark after I finished my ramen so I took the tram back to Karen's place. She's not home yet so I chatted with her house mate who's really nice!
HI JEN! :D
Showered and checked twitter and facebook while having some snacks.
Love the strawberries and yoghurt!!
Supa Save, can we have that yoghurt please??
Banana milk!
YUMS!
Then it was more girly chats with Karen and Jen til really late!
It was a FUN day exploring Melbourne alone with nothing much in mind. Once again, THANK YOU Karen for taking me in and sorry I made you so worried when you couldn't contact me. Phone's battery was dead T.T
And that's how my 5th day in Melbourne go.
Thank you for reaching the end of this post and HAPPY WEEKEND!
:)
