Another pony adventure!

[Angelshy]

Hi all, I went on a day trip with a couple of friends recently and decided to continue my new "tradition" of bringing a pony along as a mascot of sorts. The lucky pony this time was Pineapple Paradise. As I had only recently purchased her and kept forgetting her name, though, we often referred to her as "Pineapple Butt" because we are mature adults

We essentially drove from Melbourne to Geelong, stopping at various towns along the way, then caught a ferry across the bay to Sorrento, drove up to Arthurs Seat and then made the trek back to my friend's place for nachos. It was a long day but really fun.  To the photos!

Trip mascot takes her rightful place in the car.

This was when my (considerable taller than me) friends decided to "borrow" her and pop her just out of my reach on said playground. There's a shot of me trying to get her but it's on my friend's phone.

This was taken before we got on the ferry. There was a cafe for passengers to wait with this little play area set up. Being the mature adult that I am, I had to have a go. Yes, those are my hands

Lastly, this has nothing to do with Pineapple, but we were driving along when my friend suddenly jumps on the brakes 'cause there was an echidna in the middle of the road. It wasn't hurt or anything so we got out and gently herded it back into the bushes. For anyone unfamiliar with Australian wildlife, here's a pic. It was definitely a highlight of the day!

Oh adorable! Pineapple Paradise is a perfect pony for a summer day trip!

Looks like she had a blast and what a strange but cute critter.

[Angelshy]

Yeah...Australian wildlife is pretty odd looking.

I've been doing this a lot lately. I've been taking my dear Salty EVERYWHERE I go! People look at me weird but hey, adults are allowed to have fun too! Nice adventure you had there in Victoria Thinking of going on a trip to Melbourne or Tassie soon with my friend.

Well I can definitely recommend good ol' Vic, what with living here and all .  I've never been to Tassie but I've heard it's nice although quite cold.

I do that with my Rainbow Dash blind bag

She also comes to work with me everyday.

Melbourne to Geelong... isn't that like a very long drive?

[Malgosia]

Hahaha! My boyfriend saw the pics and said: "We are NOT going to do THAT!" Lol
But he is okay with Helmuth our German talking Furby traveling along in the car....
"No, Ponies can not read maps",  he said. 

And that Echinda (or how do you say) so cute, never seen that one before. But then again, The Netherlands do nog have wildlife like that wandering around.

My BF and I do wild animal presentations with huge snakes and tarantulas and stuff and our mascot is a naked mole rat plushie named Phil. We've brought him to Roatan Honduras and Cuba so far! Try explaining why you're posing a fuzzy, wrinkly pink hotdog with legs next to a Pina Colada!
Oh! And we're coming to Aussieland at some point (desperately want to get a closeup of a Sydney funnelweb, one of my favs) so maybe I'll pack some ponies as a peace offering! Lol

Aww those pics are so cute!!!! ( and I'm really jealous of the great weather too! )

[Brightglowpony]

Awesome pics!  I remember your last pony adventure too ^^  And that echidna is super awesome- must have been cool to see one in person

[Angelshy]

shimmer73083: Rainbow Dash is great for adventures!

goldenclopper: Yes, it is a really long drive. Luckily for me I was just navigator

partypony566 & Brightglowpony: Thanks, guys. It was a really fun day and we were so lucky with the weather. It was all cloudy in the morning but cleared up quite nicely 

Malgosia: Aw, you should sneak ponies on trips anyway

SeashellnBubbles: If you're looking for spiders, Australia is a pretty good spot for them .
