one night Charlotte and I went out for one of the best meals ever at a place called veg-out time. i had a great pumpkin red curry and butter tofu. after that we went for a walk out on a long pier. at the end there is a protected wildlife area as fairy penguins still nest there. we waited until dark (when the parents come home to feed the day's catch to their young) and spotted about three or four. i got within a couple of feet of one! these have got to be one of the cutest animals ever. i mean i always thought penguins ranked up their but these are the smallest of the 17 species of penguins. look up some pics because it was too dark for any of mine to turn out...you can't use flashes because the light blinds the penguins. :(
a shot from our walk along the pier of downtown before it got dark:
on my last full day here narelle and greg took me for one last drive along the mornington peninsula, right to the tip at the town of portsea. some more beautiful coastline and also some more wine country. numerous stops and photo ops. my fav photo of the day's trip:
i'm not in a very chatty mood tonight...focused on getting ready for the backpacking portion of the trip and just generally excited to see roel again and see southeast asia!
he told me today that he had his pack and two carry on bags. :s that makes me a little nervous. i can't imagine what he's all bringing that i don't know about. ha looks like he'll have a lot to carry. hehe
almost time to give him his wake up call for his 11:30am new york flight to tokyo where he connects for bangkok.
until next time, whenever that may be. don't know how the photo uploading will go when we're travelling as i have to reduce them all to fit on the blog.
see you all in bangkok. :)
