Melbourne – Our Trips Around The World

去墨尔本 Arriving in Melbourne

11/07/2025 星期五 Friday

今天启程前往墨尔本。
早上七点半，我们开车去机场，还车的过程一波三折，绕了几圈才找到正确的地点。顺利交车时，因为没加满油，被多收了28澳元。

Today we set off for Melbourne.
At 7:30 in the morning, we drove to the airport, but returning the car turned out to be a bit of an ordeal — we circled several times before finding the right place and decided not to bother finding a gas station. When we finally handed it over, we were charged an extra 28 AUD for not refueling the tank 😂

下雨的一天 – A Rainy Day

11/8/2025 星期六 Saturday

早上醒来，外面还在下雨。天气预报说，这场雨会下一整天。我一边喝茶，一边看工作邮箱里堆积的三十多封邮件，不得不回复了其中三封。还是要出门看卡，风大、气温低、雨还在断断续续地下。我们决定先轻松一点，坐一圈免费的有轨电车。

It was still raining outside when we woke up this morning and the forecast said it would rain all day. I sipped my tea while glancing through over thirty emails in my work inbox and ended up replying to three of them. I am supposed to be on vacation!

徒步墨尔本街区 – Walking in Melbourne

11/9/2025, 星期日， Sunday

上面的照片看起来会非常有趣吧？那是我们今天原本的计划。可惜早上又在下雨，去坐普芬比利蒸汽火车的票早在家里就买好了。那是一条穿越森林山谷的老式蒸汽火车，很多人说是来墨尔本最值得体验的项目。可一大早看着窗外淅淅沥沥的雨，再想到来回路上要花四个多小时，还得赶特定时间的车，我们最后还是放弃了。虽然有点遗憾，只能安慰自己——别被沉没成本绑住。

可下雨天也不该浪费。于是我们，打着伞出门，去感受这座城市在雨中的样子。

The photo above would have been so much fun, right? That was our original plan for today. Unfortunately, it was raining again in the morning, even though we had already bought tickets back home for the Puffing Billy steam train — an old-fashioned train that runs through forested valleys and is often said to be one of the must-do experiences in Melbourne.

11/10/2025 星期一 Monday， The 9th day of our Down Under to Eastern Delight trip

早上七点半，Lune可颂面包店准时开门。这是一家在油管上早已被无数人推荐的网红面包店。我原以为一大早去，人应该不多，没想到到的时候门口已经排起了长队。好在等待是值得的——我买了三款可颂，每一口都是酥脆香浓，果然名不虚传。

At 7:30 in the morning, Lune Croissanterie opened right on time. This bakery, long praised by countless YouTubers, is something of an online sensation. I thought arriving early would mean fewer people, but to my surprise, a long line had already formed outside when I arrived.

11/11/2025 星期二 Tuesday, The 10th day of our Down Under to Eastern Delight trip

早上醒来，又在下雨，看来又是一个又冷又湿的日子。不得不处理一下工作的事，和同事通了一个小时的电话讨论。

We woke up this morning to find it raining again — looks like we will be served another cold, wet day. I had to take care of some work emails and spent an hour on a call with a colleague discussing things.
