Christmas Holiday 圣诞旅行 |
||
|
Melbourne - Great ocean road - Kangaroo Ireland - Adelaide |
| Mike and I planned this holiday three months ago, just before I knew that I was pregnant. My mum said " no, you are not allowed to go, it's too dangerous in the first three months" My western friends said: "Why not? It is the best chance to travel. You won't have time after the baby is born!" To me this sounds very true. Plus my mum is far away! So on Dec 24, we began our new adventure. | ||
|
|
Itinerary: Dec 24: Fly to Melbourne and then hired a car. Dec 25-27 Drive along the beautiful coastline: Great Ocean Road. Dec 27 Arrive in Adelaide. Dec 28-29 Kangaroo Ireland. Dec 30 Fly back to Sydney.

| 我和Mike在很早以前就计划好了这次旅行,得知我怀孕后,妈妈和我的中国朋友都劝我不要去。外国朋友却都觉得不会有任何影响。我们最后还是决定按原计划进行。只是不要让我妈妈知道了。她会很担心的。 | ||

People often debate which city is better: Sydney or Melbourne. Well, I definitely love Sydney, but Melbourne has its own beautiful parts . This is the Yarra river. |
|||||||
| 墨尔本的城市漂亮,但我还是更喜欢悉尼。 | |||||||
|
|
|||||||
| 沿途的海岸线风景宜人 | |||||||

| I certainly didn't expect the weather would be so cool. I had to wear my blue jumper all the time! | |||||||
| 天气部我想象的冷多了。 | |||||||
|
|
I took every chance to climb the rocks. Imagine what my mum would say if she sees this! | 千万不要让我妈看见这个! | |||||

| Mike and his camera. I often complained that he spent too much time on this hobby. And then he would say: that's because you have no passion!" Passion all right! It means we have to go to the same place four times when we have very limited time traveling. Because " the light is different at different times of the day. | |||||||
| Mike 永远拿着他的相机。 | |||||||

| Mike is obsessed with lighthouses. Wherever there is one, he has to climb it and take photos. | |||||||
| Mike 最喜欢灯塔,每到一个地方,他都会去灯塔。 | |||||||

| We took an exciting helicopter tour to see the coastline! | |||||||
| 看海岸线最好的方法是坐直升飞机 | |||||||
|
|
|||||||
| This was the first time for me to be on helicopter. I wasn't scared at all. Just busy with taking video and photos. | |||||||
| 第一次乘直升飞机,我一点都不怕。 | |||||||

| Nearly 600 Km driving from the end of great ocean road to Adelaide is bit boring: Most places are the same, dry fields, cows. | |||||||

A 40 minute ferry journey took us and our car to Kangaroo island, a land of native Australian animals, flora and fauna. |

| Kangaroo Ireland is full of excitement! Seal bay is one of the very few places in the world you can see wild Sea lions. Many years ago I saw a picture of a Japanese girl with these sea lions. I was so envious: I have to see them one day. Today I am here with these incredible creatures! | |||||||

| Although I was tired most of the time because of the impending baby, it was an adventurous holiday. | |||||||
