Melbourne

Hey everyone! We hope everyone is doing well! Today is our last day in Melbourne before we head to Adelaide in the morning. We thought we would just put up some pictures of our adventures in Melbourne. Hope you enjoy!

While we were in Melbourne we took 4 days to drive the Great Ocean Road in our wonderful little yellow car! The road takes about 3-4 hours to drive and goes all along the coast. It was an amazingly beautiful ride. On the curviest windiest roads, and they have you driving on the left side! It was a great way to get introduced to the driving! Luckily for us they have signs "we drive on the left side in Australia" every couple miles ... they were sometimes very necessary reminders!

We saw our first Koala Bears!!! They were so close and mellow we got a chance to take pictures from inches away and even pet them! The little guys just hung out around our camp ground chomping on their toxic eucalyptus. A local explained to us how eucalyptus is actually a toxic plant and the Koalas basically get high from eating it all day. He warned us to watch out for the ones who eat too much and fall out of the trees - we're still waiting to see this!

Yesterday we got to take part in an Australian festival which was a lot of fun! The festival was right on the beach with over 25000 people! There were many stages with live music, market shopping, and lots of fun filled crowded pubs. We were lucky we happened to be here when it was going on.

Alright, everyone needs to offer us a suggestion! We are going to get sick of peanut butter sandwiches very fast! We are trying to stay economical with our meals but it is difficult without a refrigerator! We need some creative ideas for inexpensive simple meals (we aren’t the best in the kitchen). We are expecting some great ideas from all of you … don’t let us down!
