Day 1: Melbourne, Australia May 23

About 30 hours after starting our trip to Australia, we have finally arrived. We have been on three different flights, spent hours waiting in airports, watched countless movies and multiple hours flying over the ocean but we made it! After landing is when the fun began. Not only have many of us been up since the early hours of Monday morning but we have yet to go to bed besides the short naps we have encountered over our fifteen hour flight, so we were ready to start our day.Once we landed and made it through customs and immigration it was off to the Healesville sanctuary where we were able to spend some quality animals native to Australia. During this tour we got the chance to interact with koalas, kangaroos, dingos, and many more animals. One of the most interesting and fun activities the sanctuary offers was the ability to go into a cage of birds, where you could feed and hold them whenever you wanted. Once we concluded at the sanctuary we had a two hour drive back to Melbourne before we would finally be able to shower and relax before we head out to dinner. There have been many problems trying to get Internet access so hopefully soon the blogs will more frequent and more detailed.
