Back In Melbourne!!!

So we drove into melbourne two nights ago...we spent our nights from sydney to melbourne in some definitely interesting places...some were good interesting and some were not so good :) we saw a lot of coastline since we took the scenic way which was full of green grass and ocean and sometimes thunderstorms and rain :) A lightening storm was BEAUTIFUL up in sydney and then a bit trickled down as we drove. We stopped at Phillip Island which is were the "penguin parade" is. We walked over the island's tip which has gulls with chicks this time of year, sealions, gorgeous scenery and a couple little penguins curled up in their holes in the bank! We drove up through melbourne to St. Kilda (a beachy area south of the city) and stayed there to be ready to watch the tennis which started the following morning. We watched is pretty much the entire day yesterday and dad is going back today to watch again! supposed to be 98 degrees so I decided to stay home and enjoy my mild 30 degrees inside ;) Roddick won! i don't know what to say as far as the other americans...not many of them did so well considering a LOT of tourists watch and not so many americans so the game we watched between a german and a states guy was a little one sided! at one time I was the only one that was clapping ha...it feels awkward! let me tell you!!! :) Ginepri lost...querrey lost...dent lost...but that was to another american ;) I'll be relaxing in melbourne for the next couple of days and then we'll be going down the great ocean road on friday until Australia day (the 26th) when we fly to fiji! :) How appropriate, flying in on new years eve and flying out on australia day ha :) No wireless internet on my laptop so no pictures for you but I'll post them lata :) See you soon!
