Melbourne - BBQ at our house - People
Our housemate Emma is off to live in Thailand, and we hadn't tested Mattes' self-made bbq yet, and we used both as a reason to have some people over on Saturday. It was a full house until late at night and thanks to everyone that came - we had a blast :-)))

Just some pics from downtown close to school - and of Queen Victoria Market, only steps from MBS, where we do all our food shopping.
some people mentioned they wanted to see some down town pics - so here they are. the city is very diverse and mixes metropolitan high rise buildings with traditional housing - and small lanes with large busy streets. lovely mixture.
the front of Queen Victoria market where I load up kilos of food every week
the food court which belongs to the market - good fresh food, but I refere the delicatessen hall inside with all the cheeses and breads and cakes and böreks... will take a camera along in the next few days and take some pictures inside.

Another great breakfast - no, actually, a fanTASTIC breakfast. We took a tram for 30min to get there on a Saturday morning, so we were hoping it would be so.
Tramstop 130 Middle Park, route 96, right in Albert Park, they turned the tram stop into a café, and when the sun shines one can sit on the terrace looking into the park.
the tram stop - and the cafe (we sat on the terrace on the other side) - and the park on the right
the terrace at the back was really pretty, made up of all sorts of furniture, lots of wood, plants in pots, etc. the atmosphere reminded me of the Reitschule in munich (shout out to vikiiiihaseeee!)
coffee was better than average, though obviously not as wonderful as in seven seeds, but hey, we're spoilt like that now...
mattes breakfast: eggs with salmon, creme cheese and this great cucumber salad on top
my devine eggs, made with truffels, parmesan, fresh spinich and mushrooms... yuuummmmmm!
highly recommended place!

Melbourne - Day Trip to Phillip Island - Animals
This was the best bit of the trip - all the animals! In their environment, us sneeking around trying to find them. It was great!
hm. mattes says this fish is very poisonous when it's alive. hm.
spikey spikey super ant inhaler.
wild cat - it was so long!
big black parrot-like birds - in the end there were 10 circling over us
the seagulls' babys are hatching right now and they just COVERED nobbie's point. they were very proctive and it was cute to watch the little ones of all sizes trying to fly and falling down after a few centimetres
penguins! now these are the reason most people come to phillip island. at dusk they waddle across the beaches in packs and they are so tiiiiny it's adordable. to watch that waddle you must pay money though and sit on stands... we didn't like that idea, so we were lucky that they showed themselves to us anyway, sitting under the walks in nobbies' point or hiding in the different borrows buddled between the seagulls
hiding wallabies - during the first walk
walabies all over during the late afternoon walk mattes and i did - can you spot them on the track ahead of me? they were all over the reserve we alked through - jumping all over the place!
one funny thing about them is they jump away a few meters, and them they turn and look at you. just stare and stare and stare. at times you can find ourself surrounded by numerous wallabies in the woods, all looking right at you. very curious creatures!
wallaby baby in pouch!
the coolest thing on the finalwalk were definately the wild koalas. they are just so cute! and cuddly! and comfortable - just sitting there hugging their trees... we looked allllll over - but only managed to spot two. this one we called ed, he was sitting on a tree right at the path.
and this is carla, she was hiding rrriiiiight up in a tree at a lighting we reached towards the end of the walk
spot the koala!
