Australia trip PART TWO- Day 3-5


Okay! Continuing my post about Australia! =)

Day 3

*Drumroll* We OVERSLEPT!
Thank God Gareth rushed up to the airport and we managed to catch our flight to Melbourne. =O

As we took a super early flight, managed to capture this awesome picture of God's creation!

So we arrived in melbourne and then we took an airport shuttle to Melbourne CBD area, we stayed at hayward lane, next to latrobe street at another apartment, our host, Sharon(not sure of the spelling) was really nice and welcoming. She had a really cute dog to boot! The Dog's name is Roger if I dun remember wrongly.

The day was spent walking around the melbourne CBD area and just buying souvenirs!
 
Greeted with shops filled with sinful treats...
We fell prey to one of these shops and We ate some horrible tasting cheesecake that set us back by 9AUD!


 Saw this outside an Anglican Church, found it really interesting as usually Christian Churches do not have cruxifixes. But they only have a cross in church.

One of the cool buildings we saw while walking around the CBD area =)

I still have no idea why the clocks are set to different times -__-


YAY we had our hotpot dinner in Chinatown! =)

Day 4
We took the Great ocean tour by Bunyip.

We saw many beaches of which I cannot differentiate from the many pictures I took -___-
 Taken while waiting for the bus to move!!!

 So begins the Great Ocean Road Tour!

 At one of the beaches... Really love the blue sky!

 =( signs of rain coming


Pretty Beach!!

Then we did some rainforest trek thing where we saw some flesh eating snail or something =/

 Our Lunch @ the lighthouse! =)


It was great till we got to the twelve apostles...
A picture of me and the twelve apostles -_-
A picture of the twelve apostles =)

 I was just feeling so lethargic and just feeling sian cause it was raining and it was a super long day. We spotted some wild koalas as well...

Day 5
We did the Philips Island Tour with Go West, awesome tour group and we had a great tour guide =) We visited quite a number of places and I really enjoyed myself this time round.
We went to the chocolate factory... (havent uploaded the pictures yet, will probably post to fb, all pictures in the blog posts are from my iphone. HAHAHA)
Picture taken outside de chocolate factory!

Koala Conservation center. Had such a hard time spotting these! So well camouflaged!
The thing with nature is it is so easy to just miss them!


Taken at the Nobbies.

Anw So we headed to the penguin parade....

WOW!

Armies of cute penguins waddling up in groups of forties... I almost died of cuteness overload.

Cause we weren't allowed to take photos of the penguins as the flash frightens them and will ruin their eyesight. I didnt take any pictures but here is a picture from the website -_-

I got super irritated and pissed off at two bunches of tourists, both PRCs and Indians (Not being racist here, they just happened to be who they are)

The groups of Indians kept shouting at the penguins and taking photos of them even when the ranger approached them twice! =/ Felt so sian for the penguins when they started shouting at them.

The PRCs kept pushing us and not listen to instructions from the rangers. =(

Anw then we headed back to Melbourne. =)

Anw, the tour that we booked with GoWest can be found here: http://www.gowest.com.au/our-tours/penguin-parade-day-tour

I really enjoyed the tour and if you are interested you can do your tour with them or something =)


To be continued! =)
