Melbourne Trip Day 4

Back. Saturdays are starting to get boring. Shall try to continue updating the trip as much as i can before i forget most bits of it.

Day 4 was to be the highlight of our trip. We are finally gonna do some activities instead of plain sight-seeing and loads of eating! We were gonna do snorkerlling and horse riding!

We went to Mornington Peninsula. We visit Mornington on our previous trip to Melbourne. We were suppose to do horse riding then but so happened the horses had the flu and had to be quarantined.

We went to Port Sea to for a snorkelling session. We were too early for our session so we went for a little exploration and photo taking ard Port Sea.

The beaches were beautiful but we were irritatingly bugged by flies. If pple were observing us might think we were having fun at the beach, but we kept running ard wildly to run away frm the flies. Haha!!

The snorkelling session was quite fun! We had the full wet suit on because the water was really cold that day, ard 20-21 deg C. It was rather hard to move with the suit because its quite bouyent and the currents are rather strong. We saw some fishes call "leather jackets", "goat fish", the sea dragon (a sea horse) and also many many puffer fish!! Puffer fish are so cute!! Wanna grab them home!

We spotted a sky glider? (what are they called?) while at the beach.

A beautiful lookout.

After a quick rinse, we head for our horse bush trails. Both of us were kinda nervous. It was our first time to ride on a horse. The horses were so huge!! eeek! I got a horse called "CHewy" and BC got on a horse called "Jet". My horse was the greedy kind. The moment I got on, he went for a drink and grab a bite on the grasss. hehe! N the horses are not allowed to feed on the grass outside the stable. So during the bush ride, i had to keep pulling his head back to stop him from eating.

The scariest thing happened midway during our session. We were moving on a single file (1 instructor, BC, me and the other instructor) as the pathway in the bush trail is rather narrow. Then we were going down a small slope where the front instructor's horse suddenly stop moving and refuses to move forward.Then in the quick second, the horse threw the instructor off and the horse kinda fell (not completely, because of the bushes) to the side. It was so scary! BC said he wanted to jump of the horse during that moment but he knew it be worse if he got off. I was shocked. We cant move anywhere in that tight position....n we were afraid our horses will be influenced by her horse and gone berserk too.

After that, we did a u turn and continue to rearrange our position (the berserk horse and instructor is at the back this time round) and then continue out ride. In my mind, I was hoping we turn back. The instructors later explained the horse was scared by the shadows of the trees and that's why he refuse to move. Poor horse. But its was a really dangerous moment manz.

We din exactly enjoy our ride after that.


Victory pic of us surviving the ride... KEKE.


Our mucus was black after the horse ride. This was like my 4th tissue. Imagine the amount of dust and horse's poo vapour i breathe in. ( i forgot the horses keep pooing during our ride..haha)

We headed back for a quick shower and then met up with BC's ex roommates for a Korean BBQ dinner. Sweet gals and a cute brother. We wanted to give them a treat and ended up being treated by them. An enjoyable dinner. We ended the night early as we had to wake up early for the arrival of our other travel mates the next day.


Hmmm.. we all looked kinda solemn dun u think? haha.

Ends Day 4.
