HOBBIT ON TOUR
wrong date! its the 16th i think!!! but...
i think i may be in love with this place....it has everything and more besides. the people are so friendly, the sea is always nearby and the scenery, food, lifestyle is just the best!
We have taken to staying in hotels or motels due to cold nights and feet and its so cheap!!!! we drove to Lorne on the GOR (great ocean road) from melbourne and prebooked a room in a comfort in (treated ourselves to a special brakfast deal and late check out) and they gave us champagne and chocs and a spa room with gorgeous ocean views and it was a free upgrade to an executive room!!!! for like 85.00 which ok, is not the cheapest of nights BUT the next night a diff hotel that was equally gorgeous have us a free upgrade to a deluxe room and it was so so so nice and it was 40.00!!!!!!! how cheap!!!! was up at 5.30 the next day for sunrise over the twelve apostles (nice pics!!!!) (bloody cold!!!)
GOR is fantastic - the most beautiful road in the world...its interesting too following the shipwreck coast and seeing the graves and history of those lost. there are lovely towns along the way and great lookouts that rival the twelve apostles (i think) also did you know one of the apostles collapsed some time recently (jan 05 or 06)
sad and not as good on pics now!!
plodding on we are now in the Barossa valley - home of famous wineries (carol, steve,barry - the winnos! must be soooo jealous now!!!!) lol! just drove past Wolf Blass winery (will be going in the morning for a few bottles dont worry!!!!!
Was intending to stay in Adelaide for tonight but after driving through we decedied to head here instead and are in a budget motel for the night (thats more like a 4star our room is brill!!!)
