It was great to see my friend Harri again who I met in the Melbourne international airport. He's doing a world around trip through Singapore, Australia and Los Angeles/Las Vegas with his ex-girlfriend.. We have been here in Melbourne four nights now and spent one night at the Great Ocean Road. We spotted some roos doing big hops over the field fences on the way. There's spectacular ocean views with sheer cliffs along the road and also some surfing spots as well. We stopped on the Bells Beach in Torquay just to see that there wasn't the "The ultimate Wave", as seen in the Point Break(1991) movie. Today we went to the Melbourne zoo and spotted all the unique aussie animals; roos, emus, koalas, platypuses, freshies and wombats + many other animals.
Temperature and especially the nights have been quite cool lately and it feels more like the Finnish summer now. Well it's still spring here and it seems that it should be getting a little bit warmer on the beginning of the next week though. Harri has to get some information about his passport because he's not sure if he can enter US with his current passport which may not fulfill the 6-month expiry requirement. That's why we are still staying this night here in Melbourne but no worries since this is really groovy city. If everything goes ok we're leaving to Phillip island to check out the penguins and the surf tomorrow. Surf forecast predicts 1.5+ swell with offshore winds on the beginning of the week. Looks good and maybe I can get harri to stand on the surfboard as well! After that we're slowly making our way to Sydney through the Southern NSW.
