After the chaos of Dubai and 13 hours flying overnight we arrived into Melbourne and rain! By the time we check in and get sorted the suns out and we head to St Kilda beach to chill as tomorrow we head to the Great Ocean Road.
The walk to St Kilda takes us through Albert Park which is a lovely peaceful space just seconds from a very busy dual carriageway outside our hotel. We see loads of parakeets and cockatoos in the trees surrounding the park. We find a route over the railway and through the roads which takes around 15 minutes to the beach and a lovely cafe. After ordering we kick of our shoes, sit by the sand and enjoy Orange cake and coffees.
Its a wonderful warm afternoon so we continue wandering along the promenade after our refreshment stop and I'm amazed how much energy we still have after all the travelling we've done since leaving Dubai. We manage to walk to the end of the pier, seeing a mother penguin and its baby between the rocks before returning back to the Bay View Hotels restaurant for supper before crashing out at the end of a fabulous day.
We have to be up and about early tomorrow as we are collecting our hire car and driving to Warrnambool for three nights exploring the Great Ocean road for a very special Christmas.
