Before I start, here's a picture of some flowers growing on our corianders. We managed to harvest most of our veggies from the kitchen garden - and we'll be planting many more varieties soon. :)



And here's part 3 - the final part of our Lakes Entrance Road Trip!

I stopped at the part where we went to the beach in the previous post. And now, I'll be continuing from there, right till the end of our epic weekend.

We had dinner at Pinocchio's Inn Restaurant - a pretty quaint Italian restaurant along the Esplanade (the main street in the town), and this is what Steph and I ordered:

1. Garlic bread
2. Spaghetti bolognaise (that's mine - shown in the first picture below)
3. Gnocchi carbonara
4. Meat Lovers Pizza (that's Steph's - shown in the second picture below)

It wasn't costly, but it was definitely delicious!




We then walked to the footbridge just as the sun was setting too.

This was taken with the wide-angle lens...



And this more dramatic one was taken with the telephoto lens, at maximum zoom. It kinda looks like a ball of fire here.



It actually happened really fast - the sun was dipping down the horizon, and finally it disappeared behind the clouds. All these took less than 5 minutes.





We then headed back to the hotel before it turned completely dark, and the next day, we headed off to the seashell museum - which was just next to our hotel. I really love the museum - they've gorgeous gifts, a massive collection of marine animals and seashells (of course), and the stuff there are simply affordable!

One of the smaller sharks in the aquarium.



A collection of sea urchins - of different shapes and sizes.



Shelf after shelf of seashells.....




They even had a collection of fluorescent minerals!



More sea urchins, with some starfish and brittle stars - these are known as echinoderms.



And then we headed out of Lakes Entrance by lunchtime, and stopped by a scenic lookout:

View of the beach - this was not the beach we went to though.




And of course, a view of Lakes Entrance - from the same lookout.



Our stopover this time was at Sale, a town near Lakes Entrance. And this is the port within Sale - pretty tranquil and rather gorgeous.



And back to Warragul we went, before I took the train back to Melbourne. It was really sad to leave Lakes Entrance and Warragul, but oh well, good things do come to an end.

Right, and that finally concludes our Lakes Entrance adventure! Thanks so much for viewing and do stay tuned!

On a side note, I'M GOING BACK TO SINGAPORE TOMORROW!!!
