Cultural Experience #2

We embarked on a 12 hour tour of Victoria's top attractions.  We were able to visit a chocolate factory, winery, scenic overlook and beach full of penguin's all in a day!  Our first stop was Paddy's Amazing World of Chocolate.  Here we saw a mosaic of Dame Edna made entirely of 12,000 chocolate treats and design our own chocolate goodies.  After the sweets, we were on to more savory fare at the local vineyard and winery.  We sampled five different types of wine and a variety of breads, cheeses and fruits all native to Phillip Island.  Before going to see the penguins, we stopped off at an area known as "Nobbies," the southern-most tip of continental Australia.  We saw fur seals swimming in the frigid waters and squinted to see Antarctica in the distance.  The highlight of the tour was the penguin parade where we got to watch hundreds of little penguins waddle ashore at dusk.  This cultural experience was a highlight of our time in Australia!
