So the first day (not including Friday), we woke up so late and went out at around 12pm. So we decided to have some brunch. I wanted to find an Instagram worthy place to post a classic food pic, lol so we went to The Burrow Coffee House. It's your typical, hipster-organic place, complete with menus printed out on brown, recycled paper and strange menu items like 'Pumpkin Spice Latte' and 'Coconut Pancakes'. I really wanted the Coconut Pancakes, but then again, I wanted to go healthier so I picked the Avocado and Sourdough combo with strawberries and some tangy, drizzled sauce. It was an interesting combination because the sweetness of the strawberries contrasted the acidity of the sauce (wow, look at me being all food critic-y) and these clashing flavours were balanced by the neutrality of the sourdough/cheese/avocado. VERY FASCINATING STUFF. The textures were pretty crazy as well, with that bread and avocado wreaking all sorts of chaos in my mouth :P To polish it off, I had a Dirty Chai Latte - which is basically Chai Latte, but tastes a bit more coffee powder like. The total meal cost $18, which was pretty luxury for me :)


Then we headed out the beach. It took us around 3 trips up and down the stairs to finally reach the beach, because we'd get there, then be like 'oh I forgot something ' or 'should we bring our phones into the water' or 'i need my wallet' or something. When we finally got to the water, needless to say, it was very hot and sunny and we were so keen to get in. Now, the thing about The Entrance is that it's not like your typical beach. It's super calm - almost like a bay. The water comes in from the beach, so it's extremely clean and pure. It's also really shallow at some parts, so essentially you can walk right across The Entrance area, from one side to the beach on the other side. That's the coolest thing! Though you'd have to be careful and look for those shallow paths, because there can be a few sudden drops and bumps that make you lose your balance. There are also really awesome parts where shallow becomes super deep so quickly that the entire colour of the water has drastic change. It's all clear and white, then turns sudden dark blue at one point. Really cool to see!

We spent the day swimming and walking across the water. I wanted to paddleboard or kayak so bad, but 1) we are mega poor uni students and 2) we didn't research it beforehand so we had no idea where to do it at all! Next time though for sure. There was plenty to do anyway and the day passed a bit too quickly.


After beach, we went home and changed for a formal night out! I wanted to do a formal, dressy-up dinner, but in the end, in classic Rachel style, we ended up going semi-formal, semi-casual and ate at this Steak restaurant near the hotel. I had Prawn and Chicken Fettucini - very small portion size, expensive price LOL. It was yummy though, so that's a plus! We also walked along the water and took photos during the sunset. The sky was absolutely gorgeous, as you can see in my pictures. All those pastel colours - looks just like a dream. I wore a white shift dress made of chiffon, with a grey crop top to cover my fatty chicken wing arms hehe. I topped it off with a floral crown and my Adidas Zx Flux sneakers, to make the outfit look a bit more cute and fun. During the night walk, we saw all these people in the water with flashlights looking for fish. It must be part of the culture or something, but it was really a sight to behold - just lights flashing everywhere in the darkness!


Finishing off the night, we had some $$$ icecream from Cold Rock - a chocolate mess of brownie, smarties, fudge etc. and I accidentally dropped a bit on my shoe, staining it foreverrrrr :( Jokes, it's already washed off now, but yeh, it was a disgusting, dark dot for a little while. We also brought some drinks (bourbon) for that night, but to me, it tasted SO BAD haha did not enjoy. Kids, drink responsibly!!


The second day, we woke up a heap of a lot earlier, hoping to see a sunrise but failing to do so. Waldorf Aparments offers complimentary breakfast, but it's pretty ordinary. It's in their 'dining room' downstairs, which has this very homey, kitchen feel. Not like a hotel dining place at all. The place is cramped and not too clean, but it does give off a sense of familiarity and warmth. With the continental breakfast, you just get cereal, two pieces of toast, coffee/tea and juice, but that was enough for me. If you want more, you can pay extra - but then I'd recommend just going to some nicer cafe out on the streets. We also had to check out at 10? 11? So we forgot to cook the chicken we bought - Lucas tried to fry it without oil (had none) but failed miserably, so we decided to eat like plebs instead for the day. We also left our delicious wraps bread behind!! :( So sad.

After heading out, I wanted to go swimming again! There was a car show on in the main park area at The Entrance. They had all these vintage, power cars and there were people dressed up all 60s style. It was a lot of fun and created a nice, exciting atmosphere to the place. They also had stalls up with all these vintage items and clothing and fooooood~~ If you go to The Entrance, buy hot corn! If you don't, you'll regret it, coz it tastes so good. We also had a sausage sizzle for lunch, which was ultimate budget food. The day was spent walking around, looking at the beautiful water and walking in it and wandering up and down the shops. Near midday, we decided to watch Zoolander 2, at the Majestic cinemas - which is this sweet, old time theatre on the main street. It's so cute and exudes a traditional feel with the movie posters, popcorn and candy stand. The movie itself was not my cup of tea though. It was way too random and unrealistic for me to take in. I watched Zoolander before, but I feel like that one was stupid, yet enjoyable at the same time. This one was just ridiculous and I got lost in the illogic nature of it all. After watching it, I just felt .... dirty and confused AHHAAHh

After that, it was time to head homeeee. What a great trip it was. We completed this weekend with a Pho run and then parted ways ^_^ I can't wait till next time!
