::*~V i c t o r H a r b o u r~*::

Today was another trip organised by the uni...to Victor Harbour. Again, i've been there before lolz..actually i didn't intend to go..because my bro can drive there anytime...and it's not for free haha..but all my frens were going..So..i just went..we could take pics together...hehe..but it was pity that one of my frens couldn't make it..as her bus was late..and she couldn't get to the uni in time for departure..=(

The journey was pretty long..i think it took about 2 hrs to get there..but before reaching Victor Harbour, we stopped over at Mclarens Vale..a wine making area..and they had wine tasting too..but that place wasn't really for me as i don't drink wine..lolz. But my fren, Ratna was happy though, she likes wine..ahaz
After that, we headed for Victor Harbour..the highlight..the weather today was good...sunny and not windy..a great day for an excursion..I thought it would be cold and windy because it was by the sea...but it wasn't...hehe
We had our lunch first then we crossed the bridge across to the little island..To cross the bridge, you can either walk or take the horse pulled tram..but of cos, it's not free...lolz. But the horse doesn't look like a horse..i think its a stallion..because it is very big in size..not like the normal horses...But it seems quite a poor thing...pulling the tram load of people...and they're only allowed to look straight because they have sort of a visor to block their view at the sides..
We walked across..it wasn't that far..and while walking you get to enjoy the view of the sea...and you can stop anytime to take pics...so why not?
Well luckily we had our lunch first...cos after crossing the bridge, we started our 1.5km 'route march'...lolz..round the whole island...Granite Island..this place is called..haha..but it was ok..because the weather was good..and we had sceneries to see...Anyway, we were trained in 2.4km runs...so what's with a 1.5km leisure walk...lolz!
The scenery up at the hills was really nice..overlooking the sea..and the houses around..but it wasn't as nice as the previous time when my brother brought me and my family to the Encounter Bay here...where you can have a chance to spot whales and the view was even better..Guess one day i will ask my brother to bring me..because i wana catch the whales crossing!
After our walk round the whole island, we went to the penguin centre..where you can see penguins..but they usually come out at night..thus we didn't get to see any...we proceeded back to the coach and set off at 3pm...reached the uni at 5pm...tiring day but fun ^^
