Weekend Outing

It was our special day this Friday and followed by the weekend....this is perfect setting for a weekend outing. We decided to take a break and we went to Philip Island which is a 2 hours drive from Melbourne.
PI is world famous for its penguin parade at dusk. The world's smallest species of penguins march back to their burrows on shore after sunset. It is such a cute sight to watch them walk slowly to their homes to feed their hungry kids. I have seen the parade twice before and this time it seemed a bit boring but yeah for visitors who see it for the first time it is exciting.
We went to another beautiful natural attraction called Nobbies. It was a brilliantly placed boardwalk on a cliff overlooking the treachorous Bass Strait. The walk is for about 2 kms and has some spectacular scenes to offer....I was blown away by the beauty of the place....it was just mind blowing.
Another highlight was a place called 'AmazeNthings'. This is an innovative idea and it was soo much fun. The place has puzzles, maze and optical illusion rooms....rooms where u think are shrinking, swaying, things that defy gravity. It was super fun and everything about the place was innovative.
On the whole it was a fun filled trip.
