Still in Melbourne :)

Nup not home yet, we are still wrecking havoc on the foreign badly accented city that is Melbourne. We are having lots of fun doing lots of shopping and sightseeing.

We went to Weribee Open Zoo yesterday and that was good but kinda a let down too. We went round in the zoo bus to see the animals in the wild-ish bits. They were pretty cool really. Cos it rained part way round we got to see the Rhino's all playful and running around, they apparently like the rain. The Zebra's however don't like the rain and were all sad and droopy headed.
The let down part is that because its an open zoo the animals can go and hide in the back of their pens or round a corner or something. The Cheetahs and Lions were in pens but hiding at the back of them so didn't even really see them.

Went to the Melbourne Zoo as well, that was just like any other zoo really. It was good but the poor animals aren't really free. Got some good photos though, might even post some eventually.

Went to the MCG for a tour the other morning. That was real good to. If there is only one thing that you do in Melbourne I would suggest doing the tour of the MCG and then go to the Melbourne Sports Musuem which is in the MCG. That was awesome fun, there is an interactive section where I learnt:
- I kick better penalty goals with my left foot
- I am actually not to bad at archery
- Suck at running someone out in cricket (so bad that i actually resorted to running up to the stumps just so i would get them out, p.s it was set on super easy)
- I can kick a AFL goal
- Suck at cycling too, me and Carolyn both gave up.

Doing a Phillip Island Penguin Parade tour tomorrow. It should be awesome fun.

Catch you later
