Here's part 2 of the Phillip Island trip.
So we started off by exploring the Grand Prix area in the island, and we decided to head to the Go-Karts for a look. Turned out that the people in the Go-Karts were really experienced drivers in real life. Some were even racing each other - which looked pretty dangerous.
Headed to one of the beaches - Anzac Beach - after the go-karting.
Surf was really good that day, and there were many surfers riding the waves.
There were good photo opportunities for me too - of course! And one of them included a seagull who was willing to pose on the Anzac Beach sign. He was soon joined by his counterpart shortly after.
And of course - here are the surfers...who provided me MORE photo opportunities.
Some of them were really, really experienced! I literally snapped 7 to 8 shots at a go, before they fell back into the water. I'd like to try surfing one day.
Remember the seagull standing on the Anzac Beach sign? Here he is, and here is his counterpart flying away from him. It looks like his counterpart is attacking him, but in actual fact, he isn't.
Last look at Anzac Beach before heading off to another spot.
We went to another lookout area, where we spotted this pink house...
And the waters were BLUE. Not dirty blue, but a gorgeous blue. And to make things better, the waters were EXTREMELY CLEAR.
Drove to a nearby town - San Remo - for lunch, and on the way back, I snapped a picture of the chocolate factory. Sadly we didn't have time to go there...or I'd be drinking from the chocolate waterfall in there!
Our last destination for that day was the Purple Hen vineyard, of which we got to taste gorgeous wine. We bought a bottle back.

And while the folks were chatting with the owner (who used to live in Singapore but was Australian), I went to take pictures of course!
Here's the owner's pet dog, being an awesome model. He just lay there calmly.
Dinner was at this place - Pino's. It was one of the best places I've ever been to. The food was just the right taste, size, everything! I had vegetarian pasta and peppermint tea.
I've got a part 3 coming right up, plus some pictures from a photoshoot!
