2010年 六月三十號 晴朗且不那麼冷

 
星期三可以不用那麼早起~
因為菲利浦島看企鵝之旅
下午1.15才集合出發
我們提早了一些到聯邦廣場
於是買杯咖啡喝曬曬太陽
順便拍拍照

在遊覽車上
導遊(兼司機)介紹沿途的一些景點和相關的歷史背景
然後我們到了一個小農莊

近距離的看了"王八"(wombats)兩隻
幾隻袋鼠,鴯鶓,還有一隻孔雀之後
下午茶時間喔~~
搞了一個名堂叫"Devonshire Tea"
才知道原來是起源於那個地方(Devonshire)
所以才以此命名
就是一顆有點像"比司吉"的麵包
配奶油+果醬
加上一杯茶或咖啡~~
還不錯

先去了無尾熊保育中心
但大部分的無尾熊都"高高在上"
不然就是在睡覺
但還是蠻幸運的拍到幾隻"醒著的"無尾熊  ^^

無尾熊之後
就是令人期待的"小企鵝回家"!!!
真的很有趣
值得親眼見證!!
先上岸的企鵝會在岸邊
等其他同屬一群的同伴們上來了
然後感覺他們會稍稍整隊
接著開始移動
到一半時會突然加快速度
衝著回去他們的住處洞穴區
然後會看到他們類似找家的神情
時定在某處
開始發出叫聲
然後會聽到有回應
可能藉著熟悉的聲音
聽聲辨位找到回家的路吧~

向可愛小企鵝們道再見之後
就出發吃晚餐去了
導遊載我們到一個小鎮叫Cowes
簡單說明並推薦餐廳之後
就放我們去覓食了~
小鎮的主要街道在下著小雨的晚上
加上可能因為那時候大部分商店都關了吧
感覺有點淒淒涼涼冷冷清清的~~~~

June 30th 2010, Wednesday, sunny & not so cold

Another day for us not having to get up so early, because the tour to see oenguins departed at 1.30pm. We arrived in the city a bit earlier than the departure time, so took few photos at Federation Square while having a cup of coffee.

On the coach, the tour guide/driver introduced the sopts and some of the history about the spots as we travelled through on the way to the first stop- Warrook Cattle Farm. There we got to see some Australian animals closely and had our "Devonshire Tea". P and I had no clue about what on earh that would be~~

Till after we saw 2 wombats, some kangaroos, and eums, we had our first experience of "Devonshire Tea". It was scones with cream and Jam, plus a cup of tea or coffee~~

Then off we headed to Phillip Island! We visited the Koala Conservation Centre first. Most of them are up high in the trees, and sleeping actually.... Yet lucky we did get to see some "active" ones~~

After koalas, here we were- to the Penguin Parade. It was really fascinating to witness the world phonomenon of the little pengiuns return from the sea, cross the beach and make their way to their own burrows! The way the little pengiuns gather together and move in group to cross the beach was so interesting and cute!!! That was the first time for Princess J to experience it and also get to hear how they make noises~ Great!!!!

Saying goodbye to little penguins, dinner time for us. we were taken to a town called Cowes to have dinner. The main street looked a bit quiet, guess it was because most of the shops were closed by the time we arrived there and it rained a bit, which painted the street some sort of miserable feeling.....

 

 

註: 沒有小企鵝的相片是因為有規定不能拍照攝影,所以就要親自去體會囉!!!  :)

p.s. no photos of little penguins- "Photography and filming of the penguins is not allowed", it is said. So the best way is to go and experience it yourself!!!  :)
