Melbourne
We enjoyed very much seeing Michelle, who we met our our Middle East trip. I was very determined to see some little penguins, and there was supposed to be a rockery just down the road from our hotel in St. kitts so after meeting Michelle we took a walk down there. Oh no! Disappointment! fencing and construction and signs that say to go away, danger and no trespassing. Good thing Michelle brought her sense of adventure because she was overtop of the fence before we knew it. I climbed along the outside of the bridge, and Nathan walked along the top of the railing on the bridge. This is justified by saying.. There were other people who did it!
In the end it was worth it, as the place was filled with Fairy Penguins (little penguins) and I got to see them up close and also take pictures of them, and I wouldn't get to do that again.
Michelle took us to a very cool pub after that and we enjoyed the rest of our evening.
The next day we were supposed to explore the city, but I got very sick (24 hour flu? Food poisoning? Who knows) so stayed in bed most of the day, but I had to force myself out of bed in order to get on yet another bus, but this one was destined for Phillip Island and the penguin parade! Literally grandstands are built on the side of the beach and you can watch Fairy Penguins raft up to the beach and scurry off to their homes each night. Precious and priceless!
