After dinner, we entered the city again. The first thing we went to was the Parliament Building. This place is an old building from the Queen Victoria era in England. It was all built of yellow sandstone. It is magnificent and elegant and is a typical Victorian building. It is a pity.
Today is not a day for visiting, so I couldn’t go in for a visit, so I had to take pictures outside.
Then we went to the Yala River. Hongya told me that the Yala River is an indigenous language, meaning a crazy river. The original Yala River had many twists and turns and often flooded. Now we see the Yala River.
The Lahe River is a relatively straight canal that has been artificially transformed through urban Melbourne. Interestingly, in our concept, when we talk about "river" or "river", we are of course talking about water; however,
, Melbourne's Yarra River is not like that. It is actually a seawater river. The water above one meter above the river is water, and the bottom is salty seawater. Its source is Phillip Bay in the south of Melbourne.
Phillip Bay has a radius of more than 80 kilometers, but the mouth of the bay where it connects to the Pacific Ocean is less than two kilometers. We got off at Princess Princess Bridge and walked across Princess Princess Bridge. On the right side of the wide road, the tall white iron tower marked Melbourne.
Opera House, to the left of the Opera House is the Music Center, and to the right of the Opera House is the Art Center. From the Art Center to the opera house is a row of tables and stalls selling handicrafts.
This area is the city center, with many high-rise buildings and is very prosperous. We took a boat tour at the pier under the Princess Bridge and saw the city scenery on both sides of the Yarra River. The river in this area is wide, and there are rows of high-rise buildings on both sides. As the boat sails towards
Downstream, the river is wider, with container terminals on both sides, and several larger freighters are moored on the docks. Hong Ya said that cargo ships of 10,000 tons were originally able to sail here. However, the Princess Bridge and King's Bridge that our cruise ship passed by
The river overpasses are relatively low, and the top of the cruise ship almost touches the bridge. Hong Ya said that the piers on both sides are very old. Some have been transformed into shops, and some are laying foundations to build high-rise buildings. Therefore, these piers have long been abandoned.
Already.
Originally, I didn't want to visit this city as a tourist like this, but it was arranged by Hong Ya after all. Moreover, with her by my side, the two of us quickly became as close as before.
After entering the city, she found a place to park the car, and then she kept holding my arm and wouldn't let go.
This feeling is really good and makes me feel like I am in love.
In the evening we went to the tram restaurant that Hong Ya told me about.
Not to mention, this tram restaurant really has a unique flavor.
Melbourne, Australia, is a tram city. It has one of the best tram transportation networks in the world. The pace of the city is leisurely and it is a cultural city.
The tram is paved with comfortable crimson carpets, the chairs are covered with long velvet brass cushions, exuding a cozy glow, and the dining tables are decorated with fresh carnations that customers can take with them when they leave. Each carriage has a wearing
The chef in the white top hat conjured up a variety of delicacies in a very cramped space. The waiters shuttled in the long carriage, pouring wine, serving dishes, taking photos for the guests... they were very busy.
After a ding-dong sound, the romantic tram restaurant journey began. You can feel the friction between the wheel hub and the track during the journey, but the car is in very stable condition, so you don't have to worry about spilling things in the cup.
Hong Ya told me that this place must be reserved in advance to have seats, and she had already reserved her seat after I called her that day.
After listening to it, I felt warm and moved again.
After we entered, we sat down opposite each other. The white tablecloth in front of us was like a movie screen, showing crystal glasses, champagne, and red and white wine. I thought: the exquisite food here is the reason why the tram restaurant is so popular.
The condiment here is low-fat and high-protein Australian specialty kangaroo meat, and the main dish is Australian-style grilled kangaroo meat with lemon juice and honey.
At first I was a little afraid to eat it, because I thought that kangaroo has the word "rat" after all, and it seems that it should be in the same family as rats. Later, Hongya started to eat it first, so I also tasted a little bit. This taste
After that, I immediately got out of control. The taste was so delicious.
Desserts after the meal include several flavors of cheese produced in Australia, chocolate mousse cake, etc., plus a cup of fragrant chocolate coffee, it is perfect! In addition, the most commendable thing is champagne, red wine, white wine and others
All non-alcoholic beverages are provided free of charge, so passengers can drink as much as they want.
Although the carriage is always running on the rails, it will not interfere with dining. It is not fast and has less vibration than ordinary trams. It does not affect drinking or cutting steaks. It is even too smooth, plus the dishes and
The content of the wine is very particular, and I often forget that I am sitting in a moving restaurant. This feeling is really wonderful.
Until this moment, I really felt that my coming out this time was a very worthwhile thing. Not only because of these delicious food, but because of the woman in front of me. I could see that she was very attentive and had already made arrangements.
for our gathering this time.
In this tram restaurant, we were enjoying delicious food while admiring the beautiful night view outside the train window. At this moment, I felt like I was in a dream.
Time passed too fast, and the tram arrived at the terminal. We got off the tram together, and she came over and held my arm and asked me, "How was it?"
I replied to her intoxicatedly: "It's so beautiful."
She smiled and said: "Let's go and sit at the beach. It's not far from here."
So, the two of us quickly arrived at the beach. We sat on the beach, took off our shoes, and put our feet into the sea water. It was a little cool. We could hear the sound of the sea water lapping against the shore, and the city lights were in front of our eyes.
Reflection, like a dream.
She nestled against my side and rested her head gently on my shoulder. Just like that, we didn't speak and listened to the sound of the sea together.
At this time, the night and the sea breeze surrounded us tightly. I let my footprints embed heavily on the beach, and then gently lifted them up. I felt the relaxation and freedom I had never experienced before. At this moment, I suddenly had a thought.
The desire to run, running freely from the fingers of the sea, from the lines of the sea breeze, from the pages of the beach, will make me become as crazy as the waves at this night.
So we went running together. After running for a short distance, I stopped. The weight of my body and shoes forced me to stop and walk forward slowly. The salty sea breeze gently blew my forehead and clothes.
Corner, I breathe the fresh and free air of the night.
Then, I breathed a sigh of relief, and we took off our shoes together and held them in our hands. We just leaned on each other and slowly moved forward on the beach step by step. A series of footprints fell behind us. We moved forward and they moved backward.
I know at this time that we can never go back and repeat all that, but we must cherish the present, this moment. (To be continued)
