So, I probably have to write about my first weekend in Melbourne first. However, I will skip to my second weekend because it seems to be more interesting. But, don’t worry! I will still write about my very first weekend in Melbourne since it will contain a lot of information about stuff and things that you have to expect if you plan to go here:) Now, let’s get going!
This weekend, I went to Phillip Island with four of my friends. I don’t know exactly how far it is from Melbourne, but Mr. Wikipedia said it is about 140 km south-southeast of Melbourne. The only thing I knew was that my friend was driving for two hours (more or less) before we can actually relax and enjoy the beautiful breezy nature there:)
The first place we went to in this island, that apparently was named after a prince, was Pannys Chocolate Factory. YUMMY CHOCOLATE! Isn’t that the first thing that comes to your mind when I mentioned the phrase PANNYS CHOCOLATE FACTORY? :9 We went there and paid A$12 (per person) for the tour inside that place. It was a fun experience. We got to know a lot of interesting facts about chocolate such as the history of chocolate, how chocolate bar is made, where the cacao usually come from, how different cocoa have different smell and texture, etc. Below are couple pictures from the place: (I have a lot more, but I will save it for your surprise when you come and visit yourself)

Well, there will never be enough chocolate for me, but let’s roll to the next place before you all get bored of chocolate. It’s Churchill Island Heritage Farm. This place is more like a nature-admiration-site. This place has a magnificent view of the nature. Below is couple pictures from this place: (again, I have more, but I will save it for you to find it yourself)
In this place, you got to experience and learn about how the Churchill people live and farm. You can milk a cow, ride the wagon, throw boomerang, see sheep shearing, tour the lavender park and enjoy the beauty of different kind of pretty birds! It was an interesting experience for me. Very interesting, I should say:)
Now, last but not least: Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. Yes, we got to see penguins! Well, it wasn’t the regular type of penguins. The penguins here is the species known as “little penguin”. They are small about 10-15 cm tall and they are ADORABLE! It was pretty dark when we got to this place, but it was perfect because the penguins wait for the sun to set before they would come and migrate from the ocean to their ‘house’. Phillip Island is known as home for one of largest little penguin colonies in the world. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pictures of the penguins as it was illegal to take their pictures, but I am putting a Google picture of them (which I don’t know how people got them) below together with the pictures of the place:
Penguin Dolls!

That was basically my second Saturday here in Australia. It was a pretty chilly day, there wasn’t really much sun throughout the day, the temperature was about 10 degrees C, but it was a super fun day after all. I got to do many things and relax with couple friends before school actually gets busy.
So that’s that, see you guys in my next blog! Cheers.
