It's been a real blessing to be able to visit Philip Island off the coast of Melbourne with my family, a two hour drive from the city, for a bit of R & R although I often have to remind my family that I'm also holiday (as being a mum you never really rest).It's nice here as there are quite a few sights to see: like a koala park, chocolate factory, penguins march etc. and lots and lots of fishing for those who are really interested. Also a lot of rugged coastline to see with many tourists out visiting as well.
Am really grateful for this break as it allows our family to be together and make memories whilst relaxing and looking forward to what Christmas and the new year brings. So it's a celebration of our wedding anniversary, my birthday and our eldest's exam finishing national exams a day before we got on the plane.
We still can't get over the shopping cart where grocery shopping is almost double what we would buy for the same price in Auckland and petrol is even at a better price than we would be able to buy it for in NZ.
Looking forward to bringing in December in Melbourne and then flying back home in early December with lots more marking of assessments and goodbye dinners before Christmas. After this rest and relaxation... bring it on! :)
