in my final year in Melbourne, i've finally made it to the annual Tulip Festival. *applause*

yivern, ruby and i went together yesterday...1.5 hour train ride to Belgrave, and a 15 minutes bus ride to a town called Monbulk. oh, and cos silly me din check the bus timetable, we had to wait for 1.5 hour before the next bus comes. so we went to The Puffing Billy Cafe for lunch...

oh yeah, and because it was a saturday, the bus which usually stops right outside the tulip farm does not pass by the farm. so, we had to drop off at monbulk (last stop) and walk for 1 hour to reach the farm. unfortunately, ruby accidentally stepped into a hole in the ground and sprained her left ankle. poor Ruby had to continue walking to the farm cos there was no other way to get there..and then we had to walk 1 hour back to monbulk to catch the bus to go back to Belgrave... by the end of our tulip farm trips, ruby was in pain, and yivern and i were physically exhausted. even right now, my muscles are still achy. *ouchie*

i'll let the pictures do the talking next...


After a long walk, we MADE IT!


十八的姑娘一朵花 ;)


Tulips here...


Tulips there...


Tulips tulips everywhere!


one of my better efforts at taking a 艺术 picture of the flowers.


and yesh...more tulips....yivern says the plain coloured ones are nicer..and i agree


and some other flowers..such as this cute daffodil.


and at the end of the day, the three of us were E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D. , but we still managed to squeeze a smile for the camera. :D
