Monday was a day off in Australia, so instead of going into work I got to go site-seeing with my Aussie-mum Sheryl. I had a relaxing morning. Sheryl took me to see the bay in Melbourne. There I saw Bass Strait, which would take you Tasmania (for those who listen to Hamish and Andy, they got on their tall ship at this bay).
From there, we drove to St. Kilda, the eccentric part of town. I saw the very interesting Luna Park entrance (a face). Known for their cakes, Sheryl and I went to a little coffee shop to have the best Vanilla Cake in the state of Victoria.
Then, it was off to visit my other Aussie family (Sheryl's family), grandma Ruth, sister Belinda, niece Charlotte and nephew Jack. Together, we went to Grant's Picnic ground to feed some birds. Sounds mundane... but stay with me, it was the complete opposite. The birds that we could feed were: Parrot-like birds, Cockatoos, Galahs, Rosella and Kookaburras. You could stand with bird feed in your hand and the birds would come, land on your arm and eat from your hand. It was so fun! There were hundreds of birds, but the cockatoos were the bosses! Whenever they came in, all the other birds flew away.
In the park, there were also trails which I walked with my aussie-niece Charlotte. Together, we saw all the palm, eucalyptus and gum trees (no koalas though :( ). Very muddy, but enjoyable none the less.
