Fit for the Queen

So 2 weekends ago, Kiera texted me, telling me that her family and her were going to stay at the Crown the next weekend, that she had a room to herself and asked me whether I would like to come and stay over. 

Of course I said yes right? I mean, it was the Crown.. Not only that I do love spending time with Kiera.. she's been my best mate since I came to Melbourne. 

So after that one week passed by really quickly and before I knew it, it was the weekend where I could be residing at The Crown for the night. 

I first met up with Kiera at Fed Square and we went on a bit of a shopping spree. Even though I was very nearly broke... and I told myself I wasn't going to shop, I did purchase a few items.. and a few snacks. We wandered around and got lost for a bit trying to find our way to Melbourne Central. Then after, got lost a bit again trying to find our way back to The Crown. It was super fun though as we browsed through shops.. me resisting very hard not to try on clothes so I won't buy them. Kiera holding on to me so I won't go into any of the shoe shops. I have a soft spot for shoes, heh. 

Anyways got back to the Crown and had dinner and played laser tag which was super amazing. I felt like I was going to bump into Barney Stinson at any moment! We were going to catch a movie, preferrably the Help.. and if not then, Friends with Benefits but we missed the last show and the next one that was playing was the next day so we went back up to the room instead.. and the Notebook was on tv so we watched that.. and teared. At least I did. 

Here are some photos..and a great thanks to AdamTam for dropping it off for me just cause I wanted so badly to take photos. Even though he wasn't really on the way. Thank you koko! 


Kiera let me keep the key cards. Hehe. 

Just after dinner.. Right after Adam dropped the camera off. 

Laser Tag! 

You can't really see them but the vest are hanging off the light bars. And the gun is attached to the vest. 



How pretty are the lights! I tried very hard to look away from them.. but I couldn't. They were just way too amazing. 


The Casino is in there.. Quite cool. 


The lovely Kiera! 





The walk-in closet, in the room. Right, RIGHT?! 

I love how most hotels have ipod docks now as an alarm/clock.



View from our room. 





The next day. Melbourne weather was being temperamental. It had a hard time deciding whether it wanted to rain or for it to be sunny. 





Lift area. 









Overall it was an amazing experience and I felt so lucky! 
Had an amazing breakfast buffet (I love breakfast!) and then we just went back to pack up and then took a stroll. For some reason I felt like I was in Vegas in the hotels. It was one of the hotels that had everything. Shopping, casino, arcade. You could spend your whole day just in the hotel and not be bored. 

They dropped me off at the station after and I took a train to the siblings house. Funny story. I took the wrong train.. and ended up in woopwoop land. Haha I was in the country area before I realised that I wasn't on the right track. So I spent a whole 45 minutes going the wrong way.. Took me an hour and a bit to get back to the siblings place when it would usually take 20 minutes. Gotta love my idiocy eh. 

Sorry for the lack of updates before.. But I hope you enjoyed this one! :)
