THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD DAY 2

When we left the Motel it was cloudy and as we drove through the rain forest it started to rain. The scenery was fantastic and we stopped off at all the view points. These were The Twelve Apostle's,The Loch Ard Gorge,we lunched at Port Campbell (very short due to weather) then had a lovely view of Port Campbell made our way to the Arch and onto London bridge (that has fallen down!) and finally The Grotto. It was along trip home but a great day. We are now having a lovely Chinese Meal at Jodie's house .

BETHANYS BIRTHDAY AND GREAT OCEAN ROAD

Well after a good day around Melbourne we all met up at Lorraines for Bethanys 12th birthday party and a good night it was with Bethany and Tiahni entertaining us with a Turkish belly dance,they have lessons with their mom Jodie.

They certainly are lovely girls and great company,we had a birthday cake and all sang happy birthday.

Next day was an early start because we were off up the Great Ocean Road ,Lorraine prepared the picnic and off went.First stop was Geelong where we ate and decided to have a cup of tea but when we came to make the tea no thermos flask!.Next stop was Anglesea Golf Club and the promise of seeing lots of kangaroos but i think they must have all been hiding because we never saw one!.After that we visited Lorne where there was a beautiful beach where school children were having surf lessons (not bad for a school lesson).Now this ride all along this coast was fantastic ,the weather was brilliant and the scenery great.So we made our way to Apollo Bay by which time it was 5pm and booked in to a lovely motel which was just across the road from the sea with 2 bedrooms and all self contained,we went round to the local supermarket and got some meat and salad for the evening meal,and after a stroll along the beach and off to bed.
