Catch-22

Our car's battery got completely discharged as we were on our way to Wantrina today afternoon. Luckily we were off-road and it dint cause any disturbance for the other vehicles on road. To restart the car engine and get moving, we had no other option than to ring a friend with jumper cables. Our university friend Abdul, immediately came to the location and helped us sort out the issue.

Both the cars facing each other looked as if they met with a head-on collision! 

The car dint give us any trouble thereafter eventhough we had our fingers crossed and were in no mood to encounter any further misadventure!

Sweltering Day

Its been unbearably hot today and our house feels nothing different than roasting ourselves in a furnace! Just hoping that it rains tonight to cool down the weather.

Visa Medicals

The last move for submitting our visa file to the case officer was done today. We had appointments booked for both of our medical assessments at the Bupa visa medical centre at 11am. Everything went smooth and the examination was just a basic check of all the health parameters. Doctors were super friendly and briefed us about what they would be doing before every check.

We were done at lunch time and had decided to try the Lord of Fries Burgers (a complete veggi burger shop with lots of varieties in the patty) in the morning as we walked towards the Bupa centre. We ordered for Chicago and Spicy burger and chips with chickpeas sauce. They were really tasty and made for a perfect lunch meal for the two vegans!

The Arabian Nights

A glass of Royal Arabian Night drink (crushed dry fruit milkshake) to end the day!

Royal Botanic Garden

On our evening drive, we explored one part of the Royal Botanic Gardens today. It was an unplanned visit but turned out wonderful. We were planning to go there in the coming week, but after seeing the extensive lawns around the road we decided to take a stroll.

There was lush green lawn and native species of pine trees planted on the garden where we entered. As soon as we started walking, we felt the coolness in the air and the velvet-textured grass gave a soothing touch to our bare feet.

As we went further, we saw a number of pathways leading to different sections of the garden. We knew we had little time in hand for exploring and so we chose to see the flower garden and forest walk. 

The flower garden was draped in all possible colors of flowers and varieties that could exist and we could wish to see! 

In every single step of ours we saw something new and beautiful and were in a dilema of how many pictures we should keep clicking! The forest walk was exactly like walking in deep dark jungle without wildlife! We could feel the same excitment while walking through the path surrounded by ferns and bamboo trees.

Me and Praveen loved the natural beauty of the gardens soo much that we have decided to completely explore it this Tuesday!

Cool car - Toyota Camry

Praveen's friend Nikhil purchased his dream car Toyota Camry last week and drove to our place yesterday to show it to us and treat us on its arrival! We both were equally thrilled to go for a ride in the new car.

We drove to the Middle Brighton Beach, took a nice walk on the golden sand and enjoyed each others company. It was like a sweet little outing at the beachside. On our way back we picked pizzas for dinner and enjoyed the treat watching a nice light movie in our house. A perfect start for the weekend!

Panorama

Panoramic views of the places that we have visited so far and all of them look soo very picturesque. These wide-angeled views have the strenght to take you back to the same location when you see them each time.
