Wednesday Night Market In Victoria Market

On the way back from the aquarium, we passed by a pastry shop and bought a nice carrot cake for Aaron...Though not exactly his birthday date yet, we celebrated it a bit early and made it special a bit this year... singing Birthday Song in Melbourne instead of Malaysia or Singapore.. LOL...
Michel's Patisserie Says.... Heavenly Goodness Inside... 
Wow.. what an attractive phrase....
It's your Birthday, Son...
Using the timer on the camera, we managed to snap a family shot....
Soon it was dinner and since it was Wednesday evening, Victoria Market is very "happening!"
We were astonished by the crowd... relaxing on the streets and chilling out, so I was told...
Entertainment too...
Sort of a Night Market performance... to us Malaysians, it is "Pasar Malam"
Just look at the crowd....!
I was wondering whether we could get any food or not.....
Oh yes, Wednesday Night Market.... they sell all sorts of food....
We joined in the crowd... walking along and see what is in store for us...
There are so many choices... Nepal, Mexican, Afghanistan, Brazil, Spain... etc etc...
This one attracted my girl... Low In Fat, Delicious and Healthy!
Anyone can guess why I took this picture? 
It was unintentional, actually.....
Oh Me, Oh My!  I thought only Malaysian Chinese eat that!!
It was certainly a HOT night... hot in a sense that everything looks good... 
And we really did not have any idea what to buy and taste..... 
But we ended up getting some to fill our curiosity... (tomorrow's post!)

That carrot cake certainly looks good, with all those cream cheese frosting.. Ok, I have a confession to make, the only thing I like about carrot cake is the cream cheese frosting, teehee..

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
