What better way to end the last day of the year with a bang other than to spend the day seeing all things bright and shiny. And to make it even more obvious, where else in Melbourne would you be able to find a beach lined with brightly coloured huts none other than the Brighton Beach!

It was quite a bummer at the same time that the owners of the cafe have decided to take a rest on the last day, because I was looking forward on going to Mart 130 for a nice brunch! Plus, it wasn’t really helping when our next random pick of cafe was closed as well. I guess it’s true what they’ve say, ‘Third time’s the charm’ when we stumbled upon Inkr7 Bar and Grill.

We were famished by the time we found ourselves seated, the aroma coming from the open kitchen was simply testing our patience. What captivates me about Melbourne’s cafe is the variety each cafe has to offer, and they don’t conform themselves to the general english breakfast menu you can find in a lot of cafes here in Perth.

Once we’ve arrived at Brighton, I guess we were the only fully clothed beings hanging around but who cares when you’ve got coloured huts!! That was a hot, no, hot is an understatement. It was burning close to 40 degrees and every step we took on the sand was equivalent to walking on glass shards. You just can’t keep your feet on the ground for more than a nano second. There you go, three asians doing the hoppity chicken dance and fully clothed, twas was a good impression!

There’s just something special about the beach that I like about, probably the relaxed atmosphere, or if it’s the crystal blue ocean. That was a fun day blowing bubbles and jumping into the water just to cool my feet down once in awhile, but above all, being playful without a care in the world of being judged.
