Melbourne

Well we survived the trip through LA... made it to Santa Monica pier for an afternoon in the sun. we ate delicious mexican and rode the ferris wheel.

The flight from LA to Melbourne was a long haul. We flew on a new A380 it was huge although we still were jamed in like sardins!

We arrived thirty minutes early to the craziest custom checks I have ever been through. Once we got through customs we got in a taxi and drove to st.kilda. The first afternoon we spent walking the main drag in st.kilda and exploring the beach.

The first full day in Melbourne we went out for a big breakfast and had a little beach day. It was 34 C. We spent the evening in downtown Melbourne for dim sum and the hungout at a bar along the Yarra River.

Today we took a drive to the pennisula and mornington area.  We stopped for pies for lunch and then headed to the beach.  The beach was awesome, facing the ocean we swam in water that came from Antarctica. Yes it was chilly! The water was very blue and the wave jumping was tons if fun.  After the beach we toured three wineries. Tonight we are having a fondue and going to see the peguins! Hope everyone is doing well. Catch you later.
