Phillip Island Trip

I've been extremely busy the past 2 days since the commencement of the AIESEC national conference. I had the Star Sellers Seminar followed by the Gala Opening Night at Melb Town Hall yesterday, and the Youth Impact Seminar & Partner's Fair held today. 9 am starts everyday coupled with just 3.5 hours and 6.5 hours sleep the past 2 days respectively, means that i'm super sleepy and tired now.

Anyway, I'll quickly post some pictures from my trip to Phillip Island trip on Tuesday. The last time i've been to Phillip Island was exactly 3 years ago, and everything looks the same as before (not that i expected it to change). I can even remember the same tree even where i posed for a photo previously. haha. Our itinerary for the day included a stop at a tiny chocolate factory, followed by a visit to the nearby Churchill Island. After lunch, we stopped by A Maze n' Things and had fun in Puzzle Island, though the maze was pretty mediocre. Headed to the Nobbies to watch the sunset, but the roads were barricaded halfway there due to penguins coming ashore and the fear that we might run them over.

Btw, here's a video of my falling down the giant slide in Puzzle Island. Though the drop somehow doesn't look that high in the video, i can assure you that it's indeed a relatively high freefall. Mind you, it takes some courage once you're hanging there to actually let go.



So, since we had the car for the day we thought that we might as well make full use of our mobility, so we went to Box Hill for dinner in Kayu Nasi Kandar, only to discover that it's closed down with a sign advertising its sale. Went to some Taiwanese Restaurant instead. After that, went to neighbouring Doncaster for desert at the 24 hour Pancake Parlour. We ordered a few items and shared. The highlight was this crepe called Russian Blintz. Cream cheese with sultanas, icing sugar, and ice cream. Really delicious! Though at $20 its more than a tad expensive.
