Marty's Adventures
Landed safe and sound in Melbourne! Another long flight, however sleep passed the time! It is Saturday morning here in Australia and I left Vancouver on Wednesday! Jumped ahead a day...I feel like I missed a night of sleep! Customs was a zoo.....5 international flights landing at the same time and lines like I have never seen before!! Finally made my way through that chaos and got my rental. My idea was to get the smallest car, however just my luck I got an upgrade to an SUV as it was the only automatic available at the time! Maneuvering and keeping in mind the left front of the vehicle just got harder.....I may of hit a few curbs on my way out of the airport! Got my SIM card for my ipad and a cheap pay as you go phone at the airport and within an hour I was on my way! I got a GPS which proved to be very helpful getting out of the city! Survived a few round a bouts.....thought I had it down pat until I got off the highway into town...takes a lot of concentration.....still figuring out the windshield wiper vs turn signal thingy....I may of turned on the windshield wipers a few time today on this gloriously sunny day! Arrived at my hostel in Torquay....officially on the Great Ocean Road! Off to find the beach!!

Theresa Mom and I drove the great ocean road when we were there. Love the views and all the little motels. Have fun. Take pictures :-)
