St. Kilda and Sorrento

Feb 12th

Me and my new friend Yvanka from Sri Lanka Sorrento Beach.
Look at how the ocean hits the rock and falls below where we are standing!

We spent the first half of the day in orientation learning a few different things about Australia. I noticed the toilets have two flush options, light switches turn down to go on, wine is good and cheap where as liquor is super expensive, fanny means vagina here (so fanny pack is funny to Australians), Australians tend to shorten a lot of words (convo for conversation, brekky for breakfast, preso for presentation), heaps of *fill in blank* is a big expression and so isn't good on you, and there are some humongous bugs here!

For lunch we went to town and ate at a Chinese place. Chinese food is very similar to America. I'm starting to drink wine with most meals already, mostly because Australian wine truly tops American wine by far.

After Chinese we walked to the beach. It was beautiful, with Cliffs along the water and water splashing against rock. To end the day we took a cruise out to the bay. Heaps of dolphins swam along the side of the boat. I've never seen them so close in their natural habitat. We got to eat fish 'n chips while roaming about, and we also saw a bunch of seals!

Look closely and you'll see a dolphin's fin in the middle left.
They got even closer to the boat but they moved too quick for a good photo.

Keep it level!
