Mrs. Wong on her first (windy) Sunday in St. Kilda, with Gerald and Ginger (GG's).
Mrs. Wong's first weekend in Melbourne- getting acquainted to Melbournian lifestyle with a cocktail in the afternoon!
Mrs. Wong on the Great Ocean Road- she didn't like the cold wind (which was pretty frightful for Spring, but she thinks it was quite exciting). This trip involved a lot of very cold tiny Asian people scurrying from the People Mover (the car) to the spot of interest, peering out of their hoods/ scarves/ jackets for 30 seconds and mumbling through frozen lips "Ah, very nice" and back again to the comfort of the car. In the background is the 7 and 1/2 Apostles (formerly known as 12 Apostles).
Said Mrs. Wong on her first winery tour around the Mornington Peninsula. Despite the rather chilly morning, she still couldn't resist Gelati. Sometimes I wonder who the kid is... (picture taken at Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, where us being Asians, proceeded to almost wiping out all the first strawberries of the season put out for sampling).
Further along, we went to Phillip Island to look at the little Fairy Penguins come home- where Gerald had a battle of wills with the seagulls (thankfully Gerald won, his reward being the satisfaction of finishing every one last stick of his fries and not having his eyes pecked out). This picture was taken at Nobby's Point (or sumthin like that)- where you supposedly can see seals nesting by the hundreds on the rocks. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure that we didn't see any. But the rocks, sunset and the wind still made it one of the more memorable moments of the trip! Seen here with Ka Chi, a new addition to the family by virtue of her marriage to Cousin Ngee.
That's it for now.. will post for pictures in next post.
