Australia - Day 29 - Mornington Peninsula outside Melbourne

Last night's dinner was a blast and I attempted match-making between Kylie and Giles :) 

I had my second tour outside of Melbourne and went to Mornington Peninsula where there are gorgeous farms and lots of tourist spots.  We had a long visit at one of the National Parks where there are old battalions where Melbourne was protected during the gold rush and during both World Wars.  Then we went to a vineyard and winery where we tasted several nice wines - especially good are their Pinot Noirs.  Next stop was a strawberry farm where we picked our own strawberries (not a bad thing to be doing in December) and had amazing desserts.  The last stop was at a lavendar field where there are huge mazes, 2 with giant hedges, 1 with roses, and 1 with lavendar (the giant hedge mazes were a little scary and complicated).  There were sculptures there too (see me with my new boyfriend David) and it was all very beautiful.  Tomorrow will be a reunion with Hayley who was on the sailboat with me four years ago in Greece!
