Day 4, 6/3 : Gold Coast-Melbourne

Day 4: Departing to Melbourne
Finally today we had the chance to walk around the beach at Surfers Paradise! Weather was good..Many people like to surf at GC..Wherever there is a beach, you will definitely see surfers! Beach here was clean and the sand was so smooth and white..Mark couldn't control himself that he took off his shirt and ran towards the sea like a little boy..playing with the water..

After an
hour spent at the beach, we went yumcha (another word for dim sum, people here called it yumcha instead of dim dum) at this Hong Kong restaurant, near to the hotel..I loved the dim sum here, so delicious and satisfying..we ordered 5 types of dimsum and it costed AUD30.30..quite reasonable and worthed the money! We continued to walk around the street and bought frozen yogurt for dessert..something different and Mark liked it so much!

Our flight to Melbourne depart at 4.45pm..When we arrived at Melbourne airport, Ai Lay came and picked us up..She and her family had mig
rated here..Ai Lay is currently teaching music related courses in a school..We went for buffet dinner at the Conservatory Restaurant, inside the Crown Casino, together with her bf, 育辰。。3 years ago, I was here too for buffet dinner with Soong Hern.. Dinner was great..we had a good time chit chatting and the world is so small, Mark and Ai Lay were secondary school mates and Ai Lay was Mark's buddy, Teck Hun's classmate! The world is round, everything link together.. After dinner, Ai Lay sent us back to my uncle's place at Brighton..When we reached, we were being welcomed by my uncle, Jessie, Ben, Jackie (Ben's gf) and Holly..We had a short chit chat before getting ready for bed..tomorrow gotta wake up early for the Great Ocean Road tour..and Ben was kind enough to send us to the pickup point at the Flinders railway station..thanks!
