So now we are in the land where everything is upside down-Oz! And even though we haven't seen much yet, I love it! We are staying with some of Hellie's parents friends. It's nice to be in a home set up for a few days and have all the home comforts. They have been great..giving us lots of amazing food and doing our washing for us!
After a power sleep to make up for our lack of sleep on the plane they drove us up to a viewpoint where we could see the Melbourne skyline which was cool! And then in true Aussie style they did a fantastic BBQ for us! The day before yesterday we went to a wildlife sanctuary where we got to see Koalas (I think I could be one as they spend their time eating and sleeping for 18-20 hours!), kangaroos, platypuses, dingos, tasmanian devils and tonnes of other animals! That night we went into the city to the queen victoria night market..they had practically every type of food there including croc and kangaroo burgers!
Yesterday was an awesome day as we went to the mornington peninsula where you could see loads of the gorgeous bays and then in the evening to Philip Island to see the 'Little penguins'...they are soo cute! we watched them on the beach as they came out of the sea from a day of hunting for their chicks. They are only about 30cm! Fantastic experience seeing them in the wild and apparently it's the only place in the world to see them like this!
Will update you all again when I get to sydney as Hellie is waiting for the computer. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Have a great one!Have a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine for me as we haven't been able to have them here!
