jus came back yesterday from our road trips..feeling very tired...so today's a rest day for the both of us. wayne is taking a nap now..*sleeping again....sucha pig....hee~
okay~ set off for phillip island once we woke up on tue afternoon..it's not as far as i thought...jus roughly 1 1/2 hr drive from home. finding the place wasnt hard at all. =) was so glad that these few days' weather was good. sunny, no rain and pretty warm. perfect weather for travelling. =) upon reaching phillip island, went to check in into our Bed&Breakfast (B&B) called ''the hill of content'' - cypress loft. omg...it's sucha lovely place. it's an attic house, with a romantic cosy living room + kitchen, not forgetting the bedroom and the spa!!! awww..the spa was fantastic! we brought bubble bath there too..hehehehehe~ put so much that it overflow...wahahahhaha~ had problems controlling the bubbles from increasing. anyway, this place is recommended by georgiana!!!! thanks girl!!!!! love u to bits for recommending such a lovely place! she came to mel in june to visit her bf and they stayed there, and when she came back, she kept telling me how good, nice and romantic this place is....so now, we went!! to experience it for ourselves~ it was the best! drove ard phillip island for the first day and dinner was back at the attic house. tv progams were good too~ hehehe~ with the surround system and cosy sofa. we spent the whole night in the living room watching movies..heheh~ with the fireplace keeping us warm.....simply awesome!
the next day, made american breakfast followed by driving ard phillip island again. explored the place more and went to all the scenic lookouts~ walked 1 hr jus to see a coastal feature called ''the pinnacles''. it is an amazing rock structure. definitely worth the few km walk, even though the place was quite deserted. =) went to pyramid rock, the nobbies, saw the first blowhole in my life. how amazing can the sea water and wind be. eroding rocks, forming them into unqiue structures. reminds me of geography in sec 3 and 4. and i really love physical geography man~! coastal features and formation. interesting! =) after all those, went to see the penguin parade. well, it was not as ''magnificant'' as i expected...thought tons of penguins will walk up the shore at the same time...but no, jus many diff groups of like 5 to 6 penguins coming up at intervals of like 5 mins. not really worth the entrance fee....but anyway, the penguins are only less than 30cm tall!!! so cute!!! and the way they walk.....clumsy and cute...heheheheh~ after that, back to the B&B.
3rd day, check out at 11am and we were jus in time for the feeding of the pelicans at 1130am at san remo, another town. they stink. hahahha~ but not bad...hehee~ aft that, drove back home, feeling so so tired man~ slept late for the past few nights cos we were stuck watching movies at hill of content. when i got home, i am already missing the hill of content already!!! sighh!!! i wanna go back again!!!!!!!!!!!!! arghh..i love the place so much man!!! was telling wayne...if we have the time and money, we'll go for another night before he goes back to singapore..hehehe~ hope to go again!! and thanks to fiona for the heartwarming welcome and service! =) bought her a pot of plant before we left~ and she loves it! she's going to plant it at hill of content and we'll be able to see it the next time we go there!! =)
