Jannis - Day 9 (14.3.)

Today is Monday 14^th March and it’s Labour Day. That means everybody has a day off. 

My exchange family and me went to Phillip Island yesterday and Daniel and me stayed overnight. Jason’s and Bjarne’s exchange families stayed with us at a rented house on the island. We played some German, Australian and Vietnamese card games until 1 a clock in the night. It was great fun and we laughed a lot. We went to bed and in the morning woke up, ate breakfast and packed our stuff to leave. On the way back home we stopped two times. 

The first time we stopped to go a Chocolate Factory called “Pannys Amazing World of Chocolate”. 

It is a very small but nice factory, not comparable to Germans. 

They explain how chocolate is made and there are a lot of things displayed which are made out of chocolate e.g. a miniature train. 

There was a glass showcase with Milka and Hachez chocolate inside!!!!! They also have some funny games to play for chocolate as reward. If you manage to win in a game, you get a little ball made out of wood which you can change in chocolate. We found out a way to win every time and how to get unlimited free chocolate. 



There was a really, really nice machine to make chocolate by itself. You can choose your flavour between Cola, Strawberry, Wasabi and of course Vegemite!!! I had some cola chocolate, but I didn’t like it. The chocolate fabric was a great experience and much fun. It is a exhibition with lots of fun and you could do many things by yourself. It was not just watching and getting facts and figures it was doing by yourself and getting to know to the chocolate world on this way. 

The second time we stopped was at the “Royal Children’s Hospital” because Ethan’s mum (Jason’s exchange Student) works there. The hospitals in Australia are completely different to the German ones. They don’t have the special hospital look as we are used to they are open and look friendly. E.g. they have a large aquarium to distract the children from their diseases. Jason’s guest mum took us around and we became V.I.P’s in her workplace. It was really interesting and I have never seen things like this before. Sadly we were not allowed to take some pictures, so I can only present you some pictures from the chocolate factory. 

Later we drove home and I packed my stuff for tomorrow. We will go to the Great Ocean Road for three days. I hope it will be a great experience, which I will never forget. For more information about the Great Ocean Road and what we are doing, read our blog tomorrow ;) 

We had dinner a few minutes ago it was really delicious. We had fish, which tasted like in Germany and I felt like back home.
