Day 86 - The Great Ocean Road - Apollo Bay
Luke is complaining that my reports are too mush of a history lesson and I should write more about us. But to be honest sometimes we don't really do much other than reading, hanging out, figuring where the next super market and booze shop are and whether we need to do a washing. Exciting stuff. Ok at Mt. Gambier they had a massive jumping pillow and we jumped about on that for a bit so there you go! Luke cooked a nice meal and then we got drunk. Yay.
Anyway, the Great Ocean Road is a long curvy road that winds its way through gum tree forests along the coast between Warnambool and Torquay. There's a scenic viewing point about every kilometre from where one can marvle at the incredible coastal lime stone formations and read about the ships that have crashed or run aground along this rocky and trecherous southern end of Australia.
I admit though that after about the 8th or so time of getting out of the car looking at rock formations we started to skip a few. The road itself though was pretty cool to drive on and I think Luke was secretly dreaming about riding his bike along this windy road when he fell asleep in the passenger seat on one of the most beautiful roads in Oz.
We stayed the night in Appolo Bay where we had the biggest meal EVER. The starter was a main in itself. And even though the restaurant had a huge collection of cakes we couldn't have eaten anything after the mains if we tried. We rolled ourselves home and I can't remember much after that. I think we must have just conked out :)
