penguin smuggling

Saturday’s ride brought penguins and apple crumble. Both of those actually came after the ride. Over six hours we covered 107 km, and 50+ checkpoints (I can’t be bothered recounting how many we actually got to) all around Phillip Island. Then cheese and vegie burger toasties, with tomato sauce of course, and apple crumble with custard. Then penguins. I recommend the penguin parade at Phillip Island if you’re into visiting over-priced tourist traps with coach loads of internationals, and sitting on concrete bleachers to view a floodlit beach. Or if you’ve found that standard stores just don’t stock enough toy penguins to satisfy you.

They were cute though, I’ll give them that. When watching them heading to their burrows from the boardwalk afterwards, one 10 year old girl proclaimed “It’s so cute, awwwwwww [noise becoming increasingly high pitched to the point where I was worried she might explode if the penguin did anything cuter]”.

There was no penguin under the car when we got out though.
