A Trip Down South

Well Kylie and I just got back from an 8 day trip down to Sydney and Melbourne. We flew down to Sydney and stayed there for 3 days. We visited the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. We also went through the Sydney Aquarium and the Sydney Museum. On Sunday we caught a bus from the city and went out to Hillsong for church. We then rented a car and drove down to Melbourne with a stop in Wagga Wagga for a night. In Melbourne we stayed in St Kilda right across from Albert Park. The first day in Melbourne we walked around visiting shops and we visited the Victoria National Art Gallery. Melbourne really has a lot of culture and very English feel to it. They have trams that run all over the city making it easy to get around. On our second day in Melbourne we got up and headed east along The Great Ocean road. We just spent a few hours driving along the road enjoying the view. We made it to the Twelve Apostles which was an impressive sight. The next day we headed west into the Yarra Valley where the wineries are. It was beautiful day and we visited a few wineries for some tastings. We didn't stay to long in the Yarra Valley because we wanted to make it down to Phillip Island. Phillip Island is the home of the 'Penguin Parade'. Every night at dusk about 1500 small penguins come out of the ocean and make there way up the beach to sleep for the night. We were able to see groups of them wash ashore and then scurry up the beaches in little clusters. It was a fun and awesome sight. Our last day in Melbourne was spent wandering around Chapel Street shopping. Well Kylie did most of the shopping I was just a long for the ride :) It was a great trip and I am glad I got see more of Australia. Seeing it with Kylie made it that much better.

Thank You all for your comments. It is great hearing from people back home. Here is a picture of Kylie and I, since a few of you have asked :)
