The start of an amazing trip.
Ok so I am going to keep this short because we just bought champaigne and are about to start drinking mamosas! So on saturday we got a tour of melbourne. The word amazing just doesn't do it. We walked for 6 hours straight! I have such an amazing roommate Jessica- I love her! We were both awing at all the shopping. At night we went got all dressed up and went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant. We drank an entire bottle of 24 proof wine between three girls... all alchol here is double the proof. Since I haven't drank in ages it was so much fun. An amazing night! On the way home we got lost and met these guys that were wasted- too funny then ended up in a park with all these wild little animals- scary. Aussis are so nice. A man saw we were lost and came up to us without us asking. Later that night the boys came over for a bit. it gets really dark here by 5:30. The next day we got up and headed to phillip island. On the way there we stopped at a farm there we saw KANGAROOS - they were amazing! We also cracked whips and I got to feed a wombat- it almost pulled me in it was so strong. We got to phillip island where we stayed in cabins - roughing it for me. They were freezing! It was so cold there. That night we went to see the penguin march. No pictures aloud but the ocean was amazing about a thousand penguins come in and march from the ocean to these little burrows and you get to watch them- too cute! We went home got to know eachother and chilled. The next day was huge for me and I really couldnt be prouder of myself. So first I climbed over this wall thing, next I went on a zipline- at first I was scared but it was so much fun! Next was REALLY BIG FOR ME. They had a huge human sling shot. You got pulled about a hundred feet up by the others than you had to pull the rope and you just swung down. I DID IT! Yes, that is right- I DID IT! After that we took a 8 mile bike ride through australian hills- saw wild kangaroos. We then went to see kaolas- too cute. At night we hung out some more and healed our sore butts. We had some orientation. Oh funny story with the bike I was riding with this kid sam and we approached a road - I didnt know wich way to look cuz they drive on the wrong way and it is confusing so sam screams just dont look- so I didnt.. turns out there was a car and I almost got hit. Next, I was riding down a hill and there was a tree branch and as you can guess I ran directly into it. Later that night we went to the beack for sunset. At 6 4 we got up and me, sam, jess and rob got up and went to the ocean for sunrise. Then we drove home.. grocery and now we are drinking mamosas instead of doing our shit ton of homework for classes tomorrow. LOVEEEE YOUUUUUUU
