Today i went to phillip island to see the penguinsss!
first, we got picked up and stopped at a wildlife zoo. i saw wallabys, koalas, and lots of kangaroos! the pictures show how absolutely adorable it was.
after, we spend a bit of time on a beach on phillip island (oh yeah, i forgot to say this before...the wildlife place wasn't actually on phillip island)...
then we went to the nobbies and looked for little penguins...yes, that is there actual name and they are blue...i didn't really see any penguins, but the area was really lovely expecially at the time we were there.
the we made our way to see the penguin parade. the little penguins come in just about half an hour after sunset...waddle up a bit on the beach...then get scared and turn around and run back and repeat this several times until they were brave enough to make it to their burrows.
this was my free penguin i got for going on the tour...i call him fredric.
then our tour guide, ash, bought us all pizza! we got a ton of bizarre flavours too...there was curry, lamb, a bunch of others that i just can't remember.the people on the tour were really fun. i hung out with this guy jorgis (i couldn't pronounce it so i called him george) he was from the netherlands. it was so crazy though...every summer for the past 4 years he's been going to the sierra mountains to work at this summer camp just outside fresno! whaaaat?! pretty sure i used to live there...small world!
