Phillip Island

This past weekend was another fun weekend. On Saturday I got to hang out with Christina and Jamie. We went to Chadstone mall to go see the Robin Hood movie that just came out. First we had some lunch at the pancake parlour. I got the jamaican pancakes, which were really good. They had fried bananas, with cinnamon and maple syrup. It reminded me of bananas foster on top of pancakes. This place was not cheap though. It cost $18 for some strawberry pancakes. But those jamaican pancakes were really good. We also went to a pet store before the movies and looked at some kittens and puppies they had for sale. They were so adorable! We then went and saw Robin Hood, which was good. I liked it. All in all it was a fun day.

Sunday I went on a day trip to Phillip Island! I went with Rachel, who I've met through Christian Union. The first thing we did was head to the wildlife park. It was another fun place to go to. They had some pretty hungry kangaroos there too. If they saw that you had some food they would come right up to you and they would use their paws to try to grab your hand and eat the food. The emus were pretty hungry too. But the wallabies were laid back. I finally saw some dingoes too. We then headed over to the nobbies, which was a rocky area where there are supposed to be seals. We didn't see any seals, but the area was really pretty. After that we went to go see the penguin parade. Even though it was cold it was definitely worth it. We had a pretty good view in the stands. There were tons of people there. And Rachel brought her binoculars, which helped to see them, even though they weren't too hard to see. The penguins were so adorable! They were really cute and small, with a white belly and blue feathers. We could also hear them making noises. And they were so adorable when they would waddle! It was weird just seeing them pop out of the ocean. A group of them would then move up the beach. They was a rock pile they liked too. A group of them would come out of the ocean and then head to the rock pile. They would then pause at the rock pile for a few minutes before all of them would waddle into the grassy area. And when we were heading back along the boardwalk we were able to see some in the grass. They were pretty close to the boardwalk too. We then got some dinner before heading back to Melbourne. I had a great time and I'm really glad Rachel was able to go with me.
