Melbourne Sights/Becky goes to Melbourne Aquarium

So i decided that after long last i was going to go and explore the city of Melbourne. It was a really nice day, and whilst waiting for the tram, my friend Mike came wandering up. He was supposed to stay at our place after a party but he didn't end up coming back, so i had no idea what had happened to him. Turned out that he had passed out at Britainy's house and then everyone wrote all over him in permanent marker. He was COVERED from his neck to his back to his legs in random writing and penis'. It was pretty funny! Luckily for him, you couldn't see any of it with the outfit he was wearing. He was making his way back to Geelong but decided to hang out with me in the city for a while. We both had our cameras with us, so we went on a bit of a photography spree. It was a fun way to see the city and we both got some cool shots. Here are some of mine:


After exploring the city for quite a while, Mike decided that he was going to make the epic journey back to Geelong. So after i walked with him to the train station i decided i wasn't quite ready to stop exploring what Melbourne has to offer, so i thought i'd check out the aquarium. I was pleasantly surprised when i not only got student discount but also got discount for using a myki card. Kind of a weird system but i wasn't complaining! I was also happy when i realised that the majority of the aquarium is marine whereas at home aquariums tend to be almost completely freshwater. Here are some of the cool critters i saw...
Penguins.
