glorious sunrise at geelong

ivy's interviews for internship took her to ballarat and geelong. after leaving dr pradeep's dental clinic, we travelled along bulleen road to hit the eastern freeway. the eastern freeway eventually joins the western freeway, which is a quick access to ballarat.

when we reached ballarat, it was almost 2.30 p.m. we had lunch at a cafe in town. ivy had a soup while i ate fish and chips. the interview at the ballarat base hospital lasted 15 minutes. by 4.00 p.m. we were on our way to geelong via a300 - the midland highway.

it was getting dark when we reached geelong. in winter, the days are shorter, so by 5.30p.m. the sun is already getting below the horizon. we settled for an accommodation along the beach - the seamist holiday apartments facing the sea, at the eastern beach of geelong.

we decided to have dinner at the smorgy's family restaurant at cunningham pier. it was a buffet dinner, for whch we paid aus$17.95 each. it offered a modest range of the usual eatable buffet food. cannot compare to the spread at straits kitchen or the buffet at royal scotts in singapore. (we had buffet at royal on scotts the day before ida's departure for melbourne.)

this morning, i went for my morning walk along the seaside and was treated to a spectular sunrise. yes, the sun rose at around 7.15 a.m. the glow enveloped cunningham pier, fisherman's pier and the royal geelong yacht club.
