Philip Island Adventure!

Hello my people! :)

So as Nelly mentioned in our last post, i went to Phillip Island on Saturday!

I had never been before so i didnt really know what to expect from it. But it wasn't bad. I mean, it wasn't the best place I have ever visited, BUT I still managed to have fun so that makes thing better :)

I got up at 8am to get ready for the two hour drive ahead of us. Wasn't sure what i should have worn, so i went with my fav comfy jeans, my Bon Jovi tour tee and my fav grey cardie, with my FAVOURITE sportsgirl Floral shoes (which were not so good when it started raining, especially since we were at the beach)

Anyways, we got to my uncles house at about 9 and I rode in his car with my brother and Aunty, while my sisters were with my Mum and Dad in his car. I was bored so i read Gossip Girl most of the way, and listened to my Ipod the rest.

After about an hour and a half driving we finally reached some of the Bass Coast... where i took these photos... excuse the quality it was on my phone and in a moving vehicle!




And here is the bridge that connects Philip Island to the rest of Victoria.








We arrived at our destination at about 11:30, and i had to use the facilities... I wanted to cry at the state in which said facilities were kept... the toilets didnt even have locks... my Mum had to keep my door closed, it was so wrong!

After our quick toilet run, we decided to take in some shopping. I should have known that in a small town like that one... there wouldnt be that much to look at. Though i did find one treasure of a shop. everything in it reminded me of me... and ever since I left i havent been able to get my dream bed/ bedroom out of my head! When i paint my room, i am so upgrading my whole room!

Then came LUNCH! Being Wogs we made lunch at home and hate our Rolls with deli at the beach!
I was pretty hilarious!! BUT GOOD! yummy!

After lunch came the fun bit! We went to this awesome place called A'Maze'n' Things (which mean two things -Amazing things, cos its pretty amazing puzzles and stuff, - and A maze and things, cos the main attraction is the HUGE maze, where we got so lost!!)
This place was really cool. I mean, it is meant for kids, but I really enjoyed myself too!
The first room we walked into was this room where the floor was uneven but all the furniture and stuff was even.... this gave me such a headache. I love this photo of my sister Alba on the ladder and me holding her up!  But the whole room loses that special touch in photos!






After that came the small room, that had some small mind games to play... BUT had this room that was like that room in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory... it start BIG... and then you are small... here is the awesome photo we took... where the smallest person is the biggest hahahaha... my mum loved it!




Then came the a really dark hallway with all the stars... it was nice. Which was followed my a maze of mirrors.. Which had me knocking into myself many times. I loved it here...





Some more mind tricks were played on you, and then we reached this Huge room filled with more fun things.






BUT its biggest attraction was this HUGE SLIDE that i nearly did, and then after i watched my sister do it i was like THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DO IT! I'm afraid of heights and so i was having an anxiety attack just at the thought! Though I did have fun getting the jumpsuit on!! LOL.





And the last attraction was the MAZE! We found the first flag so easy, so we thought oh this is gonna be soooo easy! BUT IT WASNT!
we got so lost we ended up cheating...I stood on the stairs and told my sister which way to go... and we did it :) LOL.
Overall I think that was the most fun thing we did! haha.
During the Maze thing, it was sooo hot. the sun was beating down our backs and we were running around, and so it led us to the Gelateria. Where I had the HUGEST ever one scoop of cookies and cream gelati :) Rrefreshing...






When it started to rain we decided to go for a drive to try and find where the Penguin Parade was... so that later that night we wouldnt have to look. But it started like pouring down, so we decided we would eat dinner after not before, so we stayed inside and waited for the thing to begin. Whilst inside we took this picture, and had a tour of a day in the life of a penguin where we found out they are LOUD LOVERS... and I was lilke ewwwwww :S




it was still raining so we bought those garbage bag Ponchos and they were nice in the cold... protected us from the rain and the wind!
We waited like 2 hours for the penguins to come out, and after we saw like 50 come out we decided to go and see them find their homes instead so we walked along and we saw like thousands of them... and then this weird sound was coming from the darkness and Im pretty sure they were mating! And i wanted to cry!
The shittest thing about the penguin parade was that there were too many people ... and you werent aloud to take photos... which like totally sucked!

While waiting for the penguins we didnt really have much to do... so we were observing the other humans... and OMG some people are so DUMB!
This one guy didnt want to sit in the wet sand, so he was squating, and he must have gotten tired of squatting cos then all of a sudden her grabbed his bottle of water and put the top end deep enough in the sand so that it was stable and then he sat on the upstanding bottle.... I swear this really happened! i just couldnt believe that someone was that stupid! I couldnt stop laughing.. I mean like REALLY? lol.

We never ended up getting that food, cos we left the penguin place at 10, so we went straight home. In the car i was sleeping on my sister Alba, who was sleeping on n my sister Dona., who was sleeping on the door... so funny! needless to say, the ride home was a lot quicker then the ride there!

And that was my Phillip Island Adventure! :)

That is all!
