I wanted to get away this Easter, just because you know, I want to do more with my life, experience more, try new things, see more of the world etc. (the cliche bucket list stuff). Although I have been to Phillip Island before, 5 years ago in April as well, I didn't really get to see much then as we were with a tour, where all we did was have dinner and see the penguins, so this time I really wanted to get as much out of the trip as possible. Of course, we would've preferred a two day stay, but being the last minute, unprepared teens "adults" we are, all suitable places were booked out, so cramming here it comes!
First Stop: Breakfast @ Porter Republic
 |
Yes, we actually woke up early enough the have this for breakfast, not brunch.
One of the more popular places I found on urbanspoon, the space was lovely,
so open, they even had this little shop section selling local items, and an outdoor
area out the back. |
The view from San Remo:
Panny's Chocolate Factory:
 |
| A real cocoa tree!!! jokes |
 |
| A bit more conservative David, made of delicious chocolate. |
 |
| Wouldn't you like to be immortalised in chocolate? |
 |
| I scream, you scream, we all scream for chocolate |
 |
| I would steal chocolate too |
 |
| Not quite a chocolate river, but still mmm |

| We made our own chocolate! |
Churchill Island Heritage Farm:
 |
The horses were just so beautiful and we had the honour of riding
in their carriage. |
 |
| One day I plan to own a cottage with a beautiful garden. |
 |
Taiwanese "popcorn" chicken was more butter than
chicken, I prefer my KFC thank you. |
 |
The most flavourless potato spirals, but oh well,
we gave it a go. |
 |
These were 100% fruit ice-creams, the secret is the use frozen bananas
as an alternative to the cream. This one is mango & coconut, and below is the
blackberry and coconut |
Koala Conservation Centre:
 |
| Just sitting here enjoying the view |
 |
| No photos, I'm sleeping |
 |
| Spotted more wallabies than koalas I think |
Cowes Easter Markets:
It was amazing, food, live performances and a whole bunch of knick knack and local food producers.
 |
| The best muffins I have ever tried, from Yarra Valley |
Penguin Parade:
 |
| Don't get abducted in the wheat field |
 |
| Couldn't take photos of the penguins, but proof I was there! |
The Fat Seagull:
 |
A very late dinner, before our drive home, where I just slept,
except for that part we got pulled over by the cops.
They just like to target P platers. |
