Phillip Island (Part 5: Penguin Parade)

okay,...finally the one you guys have been waiting for "The Penguin Parade". Before I go through the whole thing, I would like to let you know 1st, this entry wont have any photo of penguin, cause as I mentioned earlier all the photography & video are NOT PERMITTED!


Dont play play arrr!


So, I hope you guys understand. (^_^)

As you can see, on board the "Comfort level" is third which obviously very cold! On the day morning was 4' degrees SIAO~~~No kidding. If you ask anyone been to the Penguin parade, everyone will tell you the same thing. VERY VERY COLD, and please bring extra warm clothes, jacket or even bring some gloves & cap. Some people also bring blankets! can you imagining??????

I dont think our parents can "tahan" -__-' with the temperature but you can bring foods or hot drinks along. As least it will help you warm up.

okaylahhhhhhhhhh at least got fake penguin but those are not the same as Phillip Island "little penguin" aka The World Smallest Penguins.



~*great! now I look like dumpling*~-__-'

To be honest I was wearing 5 layers which Ray & I did bring extra warm clothes, scarf and gloves and it stillllllllllllll bloody cold!!!

At the begining, before we head to Penguin Parade, we actually change our clothes, wear more & grab hot drink and have a quick dinner at small cafe. It was expensive about average $14.50-$16 and as for drink start from $3 dollar.

But,..........hey those money we spent are put into the fund research for saving & look after those little cute penguins. (^_^)

At that time, we were informed by staff from Visitor Centre (the day before) the penguins arrived 5.45pm and they estimated about the same time or maybe early due to weather condition which getting colder. The staff also suggested about 5pm should start queue bcoz after that more tours coming and hard to grab sit / spot to see penguin.

So, we actually before 5pm (4.55pm) started queuing just in order to get the best sit and also saw a few group ppl start queue OMG...... okokoklahhhhhhhhh you can say we `re "KIASU" anyway more anymoh ppl "KIASU" then us. ahhahaahh

At the end, we sit at 2 row which you can see the following pictures.




got it from internet.

Once the door open everyone like rush to go out and I was like OMG,...is FREEZING! and it was funny coz at the begining we were like walk normal but all the sudden we like "jogging" (top speed) LOL bcoz a few ppl like run especially bunch of "alike Uni students".

And guess what? something really piss me off bcoz this "alike Uni student" bring out his camera and start "curi-curi " snapped a few photographs and even sit the very 1st row as while.

Hey dude,..dont you understand fucking english! ?????????????????????? even the ranger keep remind us all photography even from mobile phone or camera with NO_FLASH! are not permitted. Even you carry bloody DSLR Camera doesnt means you got BIGGER Balls -________-

At the end, the some guys seat next to him, told him please do not take any photographs. THANKS GOD! for that. I believe a lot ppl love & desperate (especially me!) to take those cutie but at least they respect & understood the regulations.

So, once we be seated, all we doing is just seat & wait about 40 minutes T___T, mannnnnn we become Ice man liew.......... and I cant feel my fingers even I wear gloves. It was windy night and I got sand in my eyes. >_<" dammit! But, in this kind of situation the best experience especially like couples, can seat close & hug your partner and enjoy the front beach view plus sunset ekekekekekke~~ how sweet & romantic ;P

okay,...stop talking crap. Finally, the very 1st penguin arrived was 5.55pm. It was sooooooo SUPER CUTE awwwwww~ wanna faint so tiny so cute!! cute!! cute!!! However, we been told by rangers we must sit quiet, try not to talk too loud and do not stand up coz it will scare the penguins and they will back to water again! If possible, pretend we are the big rocks on the beach LOL. and finalllllyyyyyyy...... we get so excited and everyone like "ohh~~~ aww~~~~ but as for Ray is difference. What was so funny is when Ray whisper to my ears said " You are late!" LOLOLOLOLOLOL (the day before it was 5.45pm), so just late a few minutes ahhahahah



got from internet


ohya,..those little cutie about 30-35cm! omg,.........I wanna pet them!



After the penguin parade, you still able to see more penguins which you will get to see them on your way back to centre and it was so awesome , we can see them really close, as close as you can touch them!!! (touching is not allow) like following photo I found internet.
