Drive to the ocean

After the excitement of the penguins the night before we headed back to our cabin and watched a bit of a tv show called 'puberty blues' which was utterly hilarious. We rose early with a fry up and got on the road to the morning ton peninsula. We caught a ferry from the beautiful Sorrento leaving its vivid blue waters and charming old time shops across the channel to the start of the great ocean road.

Aside from stopping briefly for lunch on a small fishing jetty surrounded by golden sand and deep blue sea. We drove straight along the astonishing coast line to appolo bay. We also stopped briefly to get my stitches taken out of my foot as I had lost the removal kit I was given.

We arrived in the lovley appolo bay where I left Amy to catch up with her friend while I went down to the beach, climed a tree and read my book for an hour. I then headed back to play scattagories and pictunary until the early hours. Amy is the best pictunary player I have ever seen. Guessing and drawing like a champ. 

The next day we crawled out of our Pitts to another perfect summers day. We headed along the coast to the apostles. Big rocks jutting defiantly out to the rich blue ocean. After that amazing vista we drove slightly inland, into kuala country. Vast woodland has been stripped dry by these hungry little critters. Once lush trees are now silvery white with no green at all to compliment them.

We saw heaps of kuala's munching happily in the trees as we drove along to port Campbell. I did get scared by a rouge cow along the way but I won't go into that!

Amy picked us a selection of Aussie delights from the chip shop and we sat and munched at the picturesque port Campbell bay.

After lunch we drove up yet another stunning road through light woodland and open plains on the way to Colac to visit Chris and Robyn whom I met in Vietnam.

It was great to see them again and their beautiful home. Chris introduced me to vegemite, with a heaped teaspoon. That stuff is strong and I'm sure I'll be tasting it, after that lump, for the rest of the month. He combined that with garlic and avocado on toast to make a lovley post dinner treat. We also went to visit Chris' garage/man shed to see his huge yellow monster truck. After that we headed back to their place for some more beer and Plum brandy before bed.

After a casual wake up and breakfast we stopped in at Amy's cousins home before making the big drive back to 

Wangeratta.
