First day of my tour from Melbourne to Adelaide. Not a good start with the weather. Pouring down with rain and cold. This was gonna be fun!! And indeed it was.
Our first stop was in Torquay to check out bells beach. Famous for surfing and the 1st surfing school. Didn't look to great on this gloomy day and no surfers were out. :(
This was the start of the great ocean road. Something I was really looking fwd to but the weather let us down. It still looked great. Amazing views of the coast and a very windy road. We stopped for pics but was hard to get out without getting soaked!!
Next stop was Kennett river. Saw and fed some really cute birds here and also went koala spotting. Hadn't seen them in the wild yet. We saw a few but they were so high up it was hard to get good photos. Still cute though all curled up n sleeping. Can't believe they sleep for like 15 hrs lol
After this is wen disaster struk!! We were on our way to otway national park and the bus started making funny noises. We stopped to check and it all seemed fine but a little more up the mountain and we stopped. The bus would only go in reverse!! It was funny but not funny. We were stuck in the freezin cold rain in the middle of nowhere!! Vicky our tour guide tried to get help but apparently no one wants to come out on a sat!! We were there about 4hrs before a shuttle came to take us to our hostel for the night.
We ended up missing the national park and the 12 apostles at sunset :( we were all so tired grumpy and called. Can't believe it was such a struggle to get us from there. I will be complaining lol. Adds to the adventure I guess but wasn't fun at the time.
Our hostel was really nice in port Campbell. Was nice to have heat n a nice bed. We had to make the dinner as Vicky was still stuck with the bus waiting for a tow truck. She didn't get back till 11 :(. We didn't do much that eve as we were in the middle of nowhere n the weather was still crap!! Just got to know each other :) what a day...
