Y is for yippee (I saw a little penguin)

 As if to re-introduce me to the British weather, it was raining today.

View from my apartment window:  



I didn't really have a plan for the day but I'd seen there were some more shops in South Melbourne so I hopped on a VERY busy tram. Apparently everyone else had thought that going to an indoor market around 10am was a good trip too. After a little shopping I headed back into the rain and decided I'd get the tram to the end of the line - St. Kilda Beach. I drank a chai latte in the rain whilst I walked along the beach - it felt very much like a British summer holiday. 




View over the Melbourne...


I decided I'd walk along the pier and the weather brightened up. 



A couple were stood starting at the rocks so I thought they must have seen something and they'd spotted this little guy! So I saw ~25% of a Little Penguin - success!


The beach looked a lot better in the sun too. 


In the early afternoon I got back to Melbourne city and had a bit more time for shopping through 'the lanes'




Then it was time to get my bags and get on the skybus for the airport. Near my gate was a corridor of Pandas - so I had to stop for a photo:


Penguins and Pandas - not a bad day before a 23 hrs of travelling...
