Good day mate! We went in a car ride bordering the coast of Australia from Sydney to Melbourne. We stopped many times to see wonderful views. The beaches are beautiful. With my aunt Wendy we saw a ray in the wild! The roads were full of loops so sometimes we got dizzy. We reached Phillip Island, the southern point of Australia, where we saw a penguin parade (we couldn't take pictures because it hurt the penguins), a worldwide festival where you can see the Little Blue Penguin’s, the smallest penguins in the world wobble out of the water after catching some fish. It was funny because they were really scared to get out of the water and some fell and had to go faster to catch up with the group and it was also amazing how they could climb the rocks by jumping. After they climbed the rocks, they went to the top of a little hill “singing” so they could capture the female’s attention. After doing so they went in their borrows and started preparing the nest for their babies. The guide said that it wasn't time for them to do the nests yet but because they still thought it was winter the penguins kept on doing the nests. This festival happens all the nights.

                On our way back to Peru, we had to take four planes. One from Melbourne to Sydney that lasted one hour, another from Sydney to Auckland that lasted three hours then another one from Auckland to LA crossing all the Pacific Ocean and finally To Peru. We recovered 15 hours so this Saturday lasted 15 hours more. This trip was AWESOME! I had a lot of fun in it. It was a one in a life time experience where I learned a lot about different cultures and all the things I can do to improve my lifestyle. Now that I have learned how to be greener I can actually use the schools theme “Think green, act green.” Since I was a kid I always wanted to go to Australia and I had the opportunity to go to Australian AND New Zealand! Thanks to my grand parents and my aunts and uncles. :)
