its a funny trip...

reached sydney on 12 apr 10am, was dead tired cos din sleep much on the plane. we spent the whole entire afternoon just catching up on sleep & resting, preparing for the 1am trip to melbourne.

My companion for the week: Dad, Mum, Uncle C, Aunt S, Aunt L, Uncle R & Aunt J & their daughter Su (Uncle C's fren). We spent close to 15 hrs travelling from Sydney to Melbourne, stopping for meals and to a quaint town called 'Bright'. All i can remember the 4 days in melbourne.

Long Drive - Chinese Dinner - Sleep - Wake Up - CHINESE Lunch - Winery - CHINESE!! Dinner- Sleep - Wake Up - Window Shop at Chatstone/Chapel St - CHINESE Dinner - Sleep - Great Ocean Road (Long Drive AGAIN!) - Sleep in car - CHINESE!!!!! Dinner - Sleep

Then on the 5th day (17 apr) only left me & my mum in melbourne cos the rest including my dad went up to sydney via car. At last some time to sightsee & be tourists near city centre...We went to stay at Base Backpackers at St. Kilda's.. cool place near beach. Booked a day's tour with Penguin Tours (they are good! provided tea & biscuits on a cold night!) to Phillip Island to see the little penguins..they are so adorable, just to see them huddling tog & waddling up the beach and on the boardwalk we came so close to them, less than 1m away! Night ended with an exciting accident - slight crash at the side with the tour bus & taxi.

We checked into Hotel Rendevous for one night for a luxury stay. So relaxing & a very good night sleep. Think mum has experienced very different from what she is used too, and most impt, she enjoyed the 3 days we had in melbourne, cos brought her to eat egg benedict, aussie/greek food..

Took a flight back to Sydney & Dad & Aunts came to take us home, guess where we went...CHINATOWN! sigh...
