Project Zero Coffee

I visited I originally didn’t plan to go to a Cafe. But the numerous recommendations from people led me to Project Zero Coffee.
Also That day The weather was insanely cold so I regretted only wearing a t-shirts and a light jacket. Actually the outdoor seating looed nicer and had a better atmosphere but I just seated inside.
I ordered a Batch Brew and when I took a sip I was really surprised. Because honestly It was the best BatchBrew I have had in Aus so far
It was Honduras bean and It had a flavor that reminded me of yellowcolor Lemon Zest, Jasmin and It also had a strong sweetness! Moreover It finished with a slight freshness, boasting an incredibly.
The coffee was so good that I have to go back next time! I also saw the rychee cold brew on the menu It’s ferment coffee In fact It’s also my favorite processing method.

Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens Courtyard by Marriott: Luxurious indulgence, prime location, rooftop infinity pool
The hotel is ideally located, with Flagstaff Gardens at the doorstep, within walking distance to Queen Victoria Market, the train station, and Chinatown, and just one block away from the free tram station. The hotel is very new, the rooms are large and spacious, yet clean and tidy, making it especially suitable for families. The living room and bedroom are separate, which is great. The room is fully equipped with a coffee machine, and the cleaning is meticulously done, kudos to the service staff! The staff are very warm and friendly, and most importantly, the rooms have great natural light, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful view outside the window. The breakfast offers a variety of choices, and everything I tried was delicious! The rooftop infinity pool is amazing, every shot taken there feels like a scene from a movie.

Flagstaff Gardens
#melbournetrip
Grabbing some time with nature done easily here. Nice lawn to laze on, and children run around. The rolling hills give it a slight English garden feel, with some nice calm within the city centre. Good for a picnic or visit to the playground, also walking the dog (on leash).
It's a beautiful garden with beautiful trees. It's not very big but you can easily enjoy your quiet time with the sunshine in sunny days.

Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens
Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens Flagstaff Gardens is located in a relatively central area of Melbourne city. Although it is called Flagstaff Gardens, I didn't see any flagpoles when I went around. The grass inside grows very well, green and lush, it seems that it doesn't need watering, many people walk and sit inside, it can be seen that it is not so delicate. On a sunny day, the grass and flowers are interlaced with light and shadow under the sun, very beautiful.

beautiful temple in the heart of Melbourne
#melbournetrip
Heavenly queen temple in Melbourne is located next to the Marybnong River , squeezed between a block of apartment buildings and the railway tracks.
Many people in Melbourne don't know much about this monastery. But this place is really great, just a 20mins drive from the city can lead you to this immensely beautiful temple in Footscray, which was built in 2016. For a moment I forgot I was in Melbourne, as I felt lie strolling through a Monastery somewhere in Bhutan. Lovely and pleasant ambiance, the temple priests are very friendly. Also there is not much crowd even on a weekend. But this is one of the must see places in Melbourne. So intricately built, this temple itself a charm.
