Even though we set off to visit the beautiful town of Daylesford sort of later than usual at noon, it was such a gorgeous and easy going afternoon. I spent a majority of my Saturday walking through the main street with my family and exploring the vintage market (by the way, it is huge and we walked through it for about an hour). I also brought my camera along with me and took the chance to take some photos. From lunch to hot chocolates and browsing music records, I've put together a travel diary of my time in the darling town of Daylesford - see what I did there.
PS: There is also a part two coming soon with photos from the vintage market as I took way to many to put into just one post so keep your eyes peeled.
For lunch we ate at The Food Gallery located in the main street. Even though we had to wait a bit for a table to become available, it was so worth it. I had a Moroccan style soup with lentils, pumpkin and toasted bread which was what I needed since it was pretty chilly outside. But they do everything from all day breakfast and salads to fancy fish dishes and a display of slices and delicious cakes.
Just next door to were we had lunch was a little cafe called Sweet Decadence. My parents had their usual coffees and myself ordered an amazing hot chocolate (which wasn't photogenic and would not cooperate) as well as each of us choosing some small chocolates to nibble on while we chatted and watched a lady park her car - haha, long story. That chocolate I'm holding above with the green filling was the best peppermint cream I had ever tried. So good!
So then we went to the vintage market but since I took way too many photos to cram into one post that is soon to come. But after that we walked up and down the main street of Daylesford and browsed some of the shops such as art deco galleries and home ware shops. It was a lovely walk as the buildings are a little older but renovated to look modern and chic to make the quirky vibe of the place. If only the little alley way was open that I took a picture of above was open as they had really cute tee shirt and eclectic stores.....
Progressively throughout the day it got colder and colder so before we headed off back home we stopped in at cafe slash breakfast slash bar kinda place and ordered the most incredible and rich hot chocolates with foamy and frothed milk. Even though I could not finish it, boy was it tasted and warming. The place also had a fire and we sat right next to it and warmed up along while sipped out hot beverages. Again, the fire place would cooperate when I wanted to take a snap.
To finish the day off, it was a gorgeous pinky and orange sunset. It was a gorgeous day but now I am off to clean up my room and organise my life. Ciao lovelies.
