Melbourne

I have some advice for anyone thinking of going to Phillip Island in winter. Don't do it. If you still want to go, my next piece of advice is-- don't do it. If I still haven't convinced you then I suggest you wear about six layers of clothing. It is bloody freezing. The wind comes direct from Antarcrtica without crossing any intervening space between.
 
I didn't see any of the penguins (I was either too early or too late-- I was not going there at 5:30 in the morning) but I did see some seals. Though they did look like some rocks so that was a lot a lot fun. After that I went down to the Mornington Peninsular and drove around for a while.  I took lots of photos.
 
Today I went in to the city. I saw the art gallery and the museum and just walked around other than that. And now I think I've had enough of Melbourne. Tomorrow I'm going to see a couple of movies (I think). Then on Thursday I'm off to the Great Ocean Road.
 
I haven't done any writing at all in the last few days. I promise to make up for it.
 
In in unrelated news, my sister will be taking possession of her first house in about 2 weeks. And I may be there just in time to help move. Oh boy.
