Having wrapped up my lengthy post on Guangzhou from June, I’m excited to begin writing my one-week holiday in Melbourne—a city that truly feels like a second home.

Melbourne holds a special place in our hearts, thanks to Lik’s aunty and cousins who make every visit so memorable. 
We cherish our annual trips to Melbourne not just for the family connections but for the city’s irresistible Aussie lifestyle, which always leaves us feeling refreshed and recharged.
This time is particularly special because it’s our first visit in several years, and we’re excited to experience the city’s vibrant energy once again and also meet up with our family in the city. 
Our trip has a dual purpose: attending a wedding, which promises to be a beautiful celebration, and then using Melbourne as a relaxing stopover before heading to New Zealand for a three-week adventure. 
By breaking up the long journey, we hope to make the flight to New Zealand more comfortable for our parents and give them a chance to enjoy a leisurely week in Melbourne.

I've been getting a ton of DMs about our New Zealand itinerary—sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience. 

I promise that once I wrap up our Melbourne adventures, I'll share all the details about our Campervan trip in New Zealand. 

Now, without further ado, let’s kick off our one-week holiday in Melbourne!
