The Great Ocean Road (GOR)

Due to previous poor network reception, I decided to condense the past the two days into a single post about The GOR.

I will keep the words brief and let the pictures do most of the storytelling.

We started out in Lorne before we went to Apollo Bay for a swim and lunch. We didn’t make it to the Cape Otway Lightstation before closing but we got a shot of it in the distance.

We had some daylight left and viewed the Twelve Apostles. Even with the traffic and swarm of flies, the Twelve Apostles was definitely worth trip by itself.

Stayed the night in a Boys Scout Park near Timboon.

The next day, finished the second half of The GOR and made quick stops at Port Campbell while catching views of the London bridge, the Grotto and the Bay of Islands.

Sanna had this chocolate that she loved at work and found out that it is in Torquay at the beginning of the GOR. So essentially we raced back to other side of the GOR to the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery before it closed to stock up on some good chocolate and get a coffee for the road.

We are impressed at how much we saw and space covered in two days. For the fact of how much we were able to see and do on the GOR in 48 hours was very remarkable.

We are in Geelong which is a city west of Melbourne. Tomorrow is the first day of our Melbourne excursion while also being my birthday.

We heard Melbourne is the “hipper” and more cultured sister city to Sydney. We will find out for ourselves and let you know what we think.
