Our Windy Weekend



When we were living in Singapore, we used to plan waaaaay ahead for long weekends. Seems like we don't do that any more, for a variety of reasons, such as a lack of cheap flights to exotic places. Phillip Island was somewhere neither of us had ever been to, so we thought we'd give it a shot. Thanks to Peter and Gin for helping us find a holiday home to rent at a very reasonable price! So off we went during the Australia Day weekend, for what turned out to be a lovely relaxing time. But most remarkably, the winds were strong and unceasing... Mary Poppins would have had a gala time! In fact, I half expected to see strollers flying off the pier at Cowes. Did we see the famous penguins? Well, neither of us felt particularly inclined to rub shoulders with a couple of thousand tourists. Maybe next time!
