Form the worst 3 1/2 weeks where Neil thought he would have to send me home to a breath of freash air.
Cowes couldnt have been more than we what we wanted. A small seaside town, everything in walking distance and gorgeous weather! We were greeted by Kate at amaroo park and showed to our dorm room. We were sharing with Irena and Christian, a couple form Germany. Kate told us to enjoy our day and meet in the kitchen at 6pm for dinner.
At this point we still thought it was all a bit too good to be true but nevertheless we kept our hopes high and had a walk around the town.
It seems we couldnt have been more wrong. We worked every day from 9-1pm (many days finsihing early) and in return got our accommodation and 3 meals a day. The 4 of us, Irena, Christian, Neil and I were upgraded to our own cabin and we had the best 4 weeks ever.
The family were great we met fantastic people, we had oppurtunities to use the car to visit the attractions and had full use of the pool! Honestly, one of our best moments on our travels and probaly the highlight of Oz.
It came to the time when mom and dad were due to arrive. We decided we couldnt let them miss out on a place so great so we booked them in for a few nights rather than keep them in busy Melbourne.
On the 15th February we headed back to Melbourne and stayed one night in the city ready to meet the parents and (of course) to have our meal in the Rialto hotel (our xmas present courtesty of mr and mrs B). We had a lovely meal, well neil had some of it, and we went to bed. I was sooo excited i didnt sleep that well. :)
We met mom and dad the next day who managed to surprise me from behine even though i was trying to jump out on them. We took them to the YHA, where it was too early to check in so had breakfast in the cafe put the bags inlockers and headed to the city for a walk. We went to the Eureka tower and saw 360 degree views of the city. Dad wanted to see teh place him and mom booked us in for our meal so we went there for 1 drink too. At this point they were both exhausted so we headed back for a siesta before hitting the Night Market in the evening.
The next day we all headed to Phillip Island where once again we had a fab 3 day and nights. Geoff and Kate were lovely and did us a fab discount on our stay, mom loved it there!
So back to Melbourne and we did the usual tourist things around the city and hired a car to do the Great Ocean Road too. The weather wasnt great for it but we still had a good day out. It was now time for our flight to New Zealand, which we are all very excited about!
