Chez Mui Richard

I think this video sums up Chloe’s carefree spirit and pure joy in a nutshell. I love you Chloe Richard.

Time to satisfy the kids cravings for Asian dumplings!

And back at the hotel before we shower and board our flight back home to NYC. See you soon!

We started heading back to Melbourne and made a detour to hit some playgrounds, pick up a pizza and board Puffing Billy.

Puffing Billy is an hour outside Melbourne but I had never heard of a train where you can sit on the side ledges with your legs dangling out!

There was a miniature railway display at Lakeside. Nothing miniature about the display though – it was huge!

We had dinner at St Kilda’s Beach and watched the sunset on our last night in Australia. What a trip!

Some lovely nature pictures courtesy of Laurent:

Woke up to this absolutely stunning view and I had to go wake the children so they could see it for themselves. I have no words for the sheer beauty.

I think I’ll remember this picture for a long time:

We took a leisurely scenic drive along the coast to Wilson Prom and stopped at various lookouts along the way.

After three days of Italian and American food (i.e. pasta, pizza, burgers, fish and chips), the kids were literally begging for Asian food. So we drove 20 minutes in the opposite direction to appease them (knowing the next 2 days was going to be limited at the Prom). The Chinese restaurant we found was closed but we stumbled upon a very popular Japanese spot that was delicious!

Our first warm and sunny day and what a day for the sun! Check out these colors today!

Amazing to think these caves are underwater during high tide and have been carved by the tides.

We had an amazing time in Philip’s Island!

So excited to see the koalas up close!
