18th september 2007, great ocean road, warnambool to apollo bay

So again a lovely night sleep. started of in warnambool. although we have actually got onto the great ocean road. we didn't actually see the ocean till we got to the bay of islands. Bay of islands, although it is just rock coming out of the ocean, for some reason it seems more then that. we stood there for a while, admiring the view. (PIC1)

Then we went onto the grotto, was probably the best site i thought, it was different from the rest and gave an impression you was looking into another dimension, or something like that anyway. Plus the hair was done for a change. and no i won't get a haircut yet. (PIC2)

Next on the map was london bridge, which has actually fallen down, how ironic !!!! i beleive that called it that before it fell down like our london bridge, well that was burnt down wasn't it. close enough. (PIC3)

Then off to the arch, which was surprise surpirse an arch. i tried to capture the water going through the arch, think i did ok. but it took me a few attempts. (PIC4)

We discovered a place then that wasn't on the map, but we basically stopped at all every attraction we saw. This stop had 3 things to look at, thunder cove, blow hole, and a gauge. Blow hole was first, which was a tunnel that went under the floor for about 300m, you only get to see a part of it, a hole that the water enters. not sure why it was called blow hole. but that was rather pretty, (sorry can't add all the pictures to this, most are on facebook, if you have access). Went along to the thunder cove, ah now this time i can tell why it was called thunder cove, as the water goes into the cove, it sounds like thunder. quite interesting, something im not sure i have heard before. i also believe this was part of teh blow hole cave bit, i think it was the start. The gauge is just a gauge, had some nice view points, so you can see out to sea, and there was an island rock thing, just at the entrance which made it look beautiful.

Next was the 12 apostles, although you can't see all of them. there was 2 behind me and the others i couldn't even see. still an amazing sight. well all of them was. truely amazing.

If anyone comes down this way in oz, you best do the great ocean road, appart from stopping at these beautiful sights, you get a view of the ocean, pretty much all the way down. and the roads are rather windy and really close tot he ocean. beautiful beautiful beautiful. (PIC5)

Other then those sights, there was just mainly places you stop and see a view of the cliffs and ocean, still worth doing, but once you have seen a view cliffs and beachs. they kind of look the same.

so we headed off to apollo bay. again didn't do much, played cards. and fuck me, i have heard the phase "luck of the irish" which im sure most of you have, but fuck me paul has won ever single game of jin rummie so far. im gettting a little pissed off. he is so jammie it is unbelievable, must be the luck of the irish i hear about. i wonder if he has got a 4 leaf glover up his arse!!!! mmmm maybe i will ask him.
