Melbourne

---

We arrived this morning to 45 mph winds in Melbourne! We stepped off the plane and immediately wondered if we were back in Chicago. We didn't mind the wind because it cleared the air after Tim had to sit next to "Smelly Jim" for an hour on the plane. The cold winds have not stopped us from roaming around downtown and trying to find live music for tonight. Melbourne is an extremely artistic town with loads of galleries, shops and live music.

Tomorrow we're going to do a walking tour of all the sites and end the day with a night tour of Phillip Island. Every night tons of penguins trek from the ocean to their homes. It should be wonderful! On Monday we finish with a wine tour (excellent wine country up here) and head off to New Zealand on Tuesday night.

We'll add more once we have seen the sites! And we're still trying to figure out why the toilets have two flusing buttons...hmmm.....
