Ah, Vivid Sydney. The yearly light festival where the crowds continue growing and I seem to find myself saying "I think last year's was better". This year, half of it was true- the event has reached insane proportions with throngs of people, dedicated transport and road diversions, information booths every 50m, you name it. That aside, I thought the opera house sails and building projections were the best I've seen yet!

I'm really becoming a fan of the weekend getaway. A few weeks ago, I flew to Byron Bay for a short trip with R. Since he is doing a term in Lismore (only half an hour away from Byron) we thought it would be a nice break to take together. 2 days is enough to get a taste of some beaches, luxurious relaxation and great food!

Overcast, Cliffside

P.S. I find cacti really creepy.
Melbourne Streets
Australia Feature Travel January 15, 2013This is a continuation of the post I did way back in August HERE . I never got around to posting the rest of the photos (and come to think...

For some reason, this is one of my favourites. The one above with the man I mean, not the churros one below. Nat Geo feel anyone?

| Kids playing with pillows (?) in Fed Square |
| Some shots inside ACMI|
Some of my favourite laneway art that Melb is famous for:
So if there are 3 things I remember vividly from the Melbourne trip they are:
- "Pre-drinking" in preparation to go out and hit some bars/clubs one night only to get so drunk we could not get past the door and instead passed out spread-eagled on the bed at 9pm. While Spiderman was playing on TV.
- Visiting the seedy Crazy Horse (see one of the photos above), because why ever not (my idea, not his) and $2 peep-shows sounded extremely entertaining at the time. It was a lot less entertaining than I expected.
- Rummaging through every shoe store in Melbourne on the hunt for the perfect black ankle boots. Did not find them. Instead, bought $400 thigh high suede boots...that were discounted to $35! Versatile, I know.
Also, on a side note, we stayed at City Tempo; I would highly recommend it if you're ever visiting- it's super affordable, chic and within walking distance to everywhere (and it has great reviews).
As per usual, tell me what you think in the comments below; which photo is your favourite?
P.S. If you see bits of this blog disappearing or moving around; ignore. Still working on tweaking.
P.P.S. Thanks so much for all the lovely comments in the previous post :)
