Today was an awesome day, at 11:15 we took the train to Middle Brighton, a suburb around 40 minutes away from the CBD. With the highest number of cafes and restaurants per number of people in the world, we could not resist an amazing brunch in Brighton and thus we set off to Brighton Soul Espresso café. The options were endless and it took us about half an hour to decide what to order. In the end, I decided to go for a hot chocolate with chocolate waffles; a perfect decision. The food looked and tasted delicious, and also the atmosphere of the place was really nice!

Being fueled up with enough energy and sugar, we walked to the Brighton Bath Boxes, the attraction Brighton Beach is known for. The colorful boxes in combination with the beautiful beach was definitely worth it, and we took some time for a photoshoot with the prettiest boxes on the beach.

Along the coastline is a very beautiful pathway that brings you all the way to St. Kilda, another suburb known for its beaches, esplanade and luna park. The walk is about 7 kilometers, and takes around 2 hours if you just walk, however, we took some detours and photos, so it took us all afternoon to get from Brighton to St. Kilda. The view is definitely worth it though, with the CBD skyline in the far distance, the sea breeze through your hair and your face in the sun, you really do not mind walking that far.



In St. Kilda we got some ice cream and cake, and went to the St. Kilda pier to watch the penguins come in at sunset. There is a colony of about 1500 penguins on the breakwater since the 1970s. They are Eudyptula minor penguins, the smallest species of penguin with an average of 33 cm in height. They are also known as fairy penguins because they are so small. It was so cute to see them come into the harbour and find their spots in between the rocks, definitely a very good ending to a great day!
