Our first Melbourne experience was a sunset outing to St Kilda's to see the march of the Little Penguins as they come in to roost along the rocks of the pier.
So dear!
Our early morning walk and flat white was in Lee's local patch, Jells Park, fortunately before it got too hot; my energy level is definitely affected by this sapping heat, so I walked measuredly and rather doggedly too and was very happy when Claire fetched us and cut the walk a little shorter.
We took a drive along the length of the Mornington Peninsula, a good strategy to keep out the heat in the air-conditioned car.Fred and Lee did take a quick dip in the gorgeous sea at Safety Beach. As Fred said, fresh and refreshing. At times it reminded us of the colours of the seas of the Bahamas. Unexpected.
The highlight of our day was the Searoad Ferry between Sorrento and Queenscliff. A 40 minute ride across the narrow mouth of Port Phillip, Melbourne looked so far away in the heat haze.
Gannets were active and so were the flocks of Silver Gulls.
The hot wind was blowing a gale on the way out, we were in the red zone, over 40 degrees but then on the way back it rained and there was a moment when Lee and I giggled about having goosebumps!
Melbourne gets you talking weather.
