Yeah! Eliss was finally here in Melbourne on this cold Saturday morning. We picked her up at nearly constructed Southern Cross Station as she took the Sky Bus from the Domestic Airport. We went for breakfast along an alley.
I had some poached egg and sausages, accompanied by toasts, spinach and roasted tomatoes.
We picked up the rental car at Budget and set sail for the Mornington Peninsula, on the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay.
Along the Neapean Highway, we pulled over and saw some of the most beautiful beach houses along the beach.
Dressed in their technicolour coat, these little houses reflected the feelings we had for the rest of the day.
We arrived at Mornington city and had lunch at this beautiful restaurant facing the bay.
Families came here with their boats. These Aussies sure know how to enjoy life.
The still water was so clear you could see right through it.
Even the seagulls found their hang out place.
Eliss and I shared a pot of steamed mussels with white wine cream sauce.
Ryce ordered some pan fried calamari over some seasonal greens.
We left Mornington and arrived at the very stylish Sorrento, which was decorated with 19th century buildings and lavenders growing naturally by the sidewalk.
Have you tried smelling the light fragrance of this beautiful flower before?
Mothers Beach was nice and quiet. We walked up the pier and enjoyed the serenity.
Ryce took this shot of us when I helped Eliss with the camera. I liked this!
We moved across the road to the Sorrento Pier area, and took a nice walk in the park, with the sea breeze brushing across our faces.
There was a really nice gazebo which reminded me of those American films where they had the military band playing there, with kids running around in the park.
There was a tree in Band Aids, looked so funny.
We drove to the other side towards the Sorrento Ocean Beach, and was greeted by a surprise. The mighty waves was a total opposite to the calm waters earlier.
I loved this shot of the sea gulls in the different modes before taking flight. Due to the fertile hills soil, there were many dessert vegetation along the coastal walk. These really contrast to its backdrop of rushing waters.
Eliss took a breather from work and let the therapeutic sound of the waves to calm her spirit.
St Andrew’s Beach was so beautiful, and super cold. You could sense the power of nature working here. There were a few anglers there trying to catch salmons and trevallies.
After a long day, we stopped over at Springvale on the way back for some nice pho at Pho Hoang. It was recommended by Ryce’s Vietnamese friends.
