Cathedral, Little Saigon, and Coffee time

Surprisingly, almost half of the holiday has gone already...two weeks are too short! My holiday, however, has been just great so far; I've been visiting many new places in the city ( sometimes I just spontaneously go out by myself..!), catching up with friends, cooking and baking, watching movies and relaxing...I'm 100% enjoying my time. Especially the city discovery is so much fun. Today, we also made another exploration in the city.

Today's our destination; Richmond. On the way to catch the tram at Collins Street, we dropped by at the St Paul's Cathedral, which is located just on the other side of Flinders station. Cathedral was magnificent. I'll let the pictures
speak themselves.



In Richmond, Victoria Street is especially known as "Little Saigon" and is the heart of Melbourne's Vietnamese community. One of today's our missions was to try authentic Vietnamese food, but there are hundreds of restaurants stretching out along the street and therefore we asked one of the locals which one serves good food. We asked the right person; the restaurant she told us was bingo;) We enjoyed good Vietnamese beef noodle and Congee.

We headed for Bridge Road after lunch, the main street of Richmond, where all the shops and cafes are.

After spending entire afternoon in Richmond, we came back to the city later and enjoyed coffee at one of the cafe at Degrave street. It was raining, but I discovered that rain really does suit this city.

Another lovely holiday time to remember!
