The 12 Apostles

Apollo Bay

The Bed and Breakfast we stayed over in

Sorrento

Great Ocean Road( Thunder Cave)


I came back from Great Ocean Road yestersday.I guess the only dampening part of the trip was the rain cause it's been pretty wet these few days. But other than that, it's been nothing but spectcular sights. 4 hours of ocean views, just taking in the waves and the white ripples. It's amazing. We stay a night there and that's when we rented the Bed and Breakfast. A very posh place..completed with fireplace,spa and a bottle of sherry. Along the Great Ocean Road we managed to see a waterfall ( i'll probably post the pictures up when i'm back), the Apollo Bay, a vineyard,cow,horses,SHEEPS(they are soooo cute....), 12 Apostles and many other rock formations along the coastline. Thunder cave was one of them. We went to the bottom of the staircase and i could see so clearly the waves just crashing onto the rocks, making a loud swoosh that sounds very much like thunder(which explains the name)At times the waves were scary but most of the time it was just majestic. Imagine this: we were on top of the hill,the waves came onto the shores and foam from the white ripples reached us all the way to the top.(like 12 storeys high?) The wind was exceptionally strong yesterday, it was constantly pushing me forward,causing me to stagger back and forth(must eat more!-the words of all my relatives and friends) and once or twice i found it hard to even talk.

The day before Great Ocean Road, which was Tuesday, we were at Sorrento. It's a good fishing spot and just watching sea planes and canoes was a good way to pass the day. Even though we almost didn't do anything,it was still fulfilling watching the crystal clear waters and trying my hand on fishing. We even saw a penguin(which was rare at this part of the sea)swimming around.For a lack of words, it was damn cute la.Its flippers which was flapping frantically propelled the little critter forward.I mean,so many people have seen penguins on the land just wobbling a little, but who has seen one swimming in the waters chasing after fishes? :)

I'll update again probably when i'm back cause i haven't uploaded the pictures i took today.Today was plain shopping. Plain shopping =Pure bliss.I met up with Luisa(one of my sec school friend) and we went ard town looking for bargains.Of course i wanted to buy the whole surf shop down.But i didn't.hahaha.But still i bought quite abit of stuff.Before town was Queen Victoria market in the morning where we bought some nuts and nougat and of course *ahem* clothes. and earrings.and necklaces. hahaahhaa.so today has been a GREAT day too.
