Melbourne D5 -- SF's house and Puffing Billy

Breakfast near our hotel
Brian said this is the best breakfast he has had

 

At the Parliament Station to take the train to Gu Ma's house

   

In the train, Brian insisted on sitting alone behind



Once we reached, Sf brought us to where Daddy would be very happy at..
Where the men can shop..
 

at the shopping area near SF's house



 

They have really grown to be very close to each other



His favourite Ben and Holly's little Kingdom..

At Sf's house
While she whipped up a sumptous lunch for us

Getting ready for lunch!
Not a single grain of rice left for the 2 boys

Outside Sf'f house. getting ready for PUffing Billy

Tks to SF who drove us all the way here!
We found the way!

Whiled away some time in the shop as we were early

The lucky wishing well

More time to waste.. so this is what we did!

Finally able to board the Puffing billy!!!

Managed to find a place where 4 of us can fit in ;p

Off we go!!

Getting old and had leg cramps after the ride
But of cos the 2 young ones loved it!!

SF was here at the next stop to pick us up!

Brian insisted on taking a picture for them

Shopping at nice little shops..

 

The nice tea house that we did not manage to have a drink in

Still managed to chill out with drinks somewhere else

At SF's house
Monopoly.. the favourite game this season

Dinner at a Chinese restaurant

SF brought us to K Mart after dinner
And this is what they got!
Toys are really very affordable there, if only we could lugged more back home!!

How we end our day...

Melbourne D4 -- Queen Victoria market and Philip Island

breakfast at Queen Victoria market
The lovely brotherly bond..

Brandon chose his very cute breakfast

enjoying breakfast while we walked around

Brian is the happiest at the fruit and vegetable section
Figs...

Peaches..
I think he wanted to buy everything.

Enjoying the sight of all the frest fruits

Gloves to keep them comfy and in preparation for the Philip Island

Brandon is happy at the craft section..



Enjoying art..



Shopping and paying for their own souvenirs on their own

On the way back to hotel

At the lobby of a hotel nearby.. while waiting for the bus to pick up up for the Philip Island tour



Nice fireplace



horsing ard, not forgetting the daily dose of fruits..

Here we are.. Brian clearly enjoyed himself to the max..

Going all over to feed the kangaroos and enjoying the up and close contact..

Brandon was not too happy with the faecal material of the kangaroos on the grass

A kangaroo taller than Brian

Brian was very enthusiastic and wanted a photo with the Koala
He told Brandon" If you don't want then you wait for me outside" and he rushed to queue up for the photo

Finally managed to get the koala to look in front
It is so still that it does not look real

Emus

Enjoying the afternoon snack, mostly prepared by Big Gu ma.. before we board the bus again



Lunch at Philip Island.. nice food as recommended by the driver



Shopping

Doing nothing but just having fun

There is fun everywhere as u can see from their faces

Nice place to chill our while waiting for the bus

Ended up picking feathers.. he said these could be souvenirs for his friends..
Very money saving indeed..

While on the way to watch the penguin parade.. dropped by here to enjoy the scenary

Great to appreciate the vastness of nature

Finally here for the Penguin Parade
Photos not allowed inside but we still see a lot of pple snapping away... no wonder the no of penguins coming in are getting lesser..

If only he could drag this one home..

It is already very late at night, and we reached our hotel near midnight...
Amazed by the boys' stamina... It must have been the great fun that kept them going all day long!
