Melbourne - Great Ocean Road, 21/10/2009
... And out of bed at 6 am : 30 to catch the bus that would take us on the Great Ocean Road, without a doubt one of the most beautiful in the world!
As a transport company for our "Day Trip" we chose the Grey Line a company that operates in several countries in the world, specializing in day trips or up to three days. Ah
the thing that struck us in the tour that we did is that the tourist guide is held directly by the drivers!
However, we left around 8:30 from Federation Square and at least up to Geelong (the town adjacent to Melbourne, where begins the legendary Great Ocean Road) we can not keep my eyes open. Geelong
After we stopped at Bells Beach, a popular beach frequented by surfers and we read that here during Easter when hundreds will gather to challenge the waves really important at that time.
But to us what he had begun to affect the landscape, this series of cliffs overlooking the ocean that sometimes gave way to some strip of beach.
A few miles after we stopped on a hill where our driver - Guide, we prepared a hot tea, a variety of typical Australian, and here we could start to take some pictures.
then we have come a very winding road, which put a strain on the stomach of crisis and other ladies on board ...
After several kilometers of curves we arrived in a village where we had lunch, after lunch we went to the pharmacy to buy anti-nausea wristbands, which perhaps only have a psychological effect, but the fact is that Chris has not vomited and we were all happy!
During the bus trip we were trying to spot some Koalas in the trees of real eucalyptus forests along roadsides.
The landscape was too beautiful, while fascinated by the waves crashing on the rocks, the other was to remain open-mouthed in the boundless green fields so perfect that they look like paintings, the houses among the herds of sheep and lots of trees ... wow really beautiful green countryside that is immersed in blue ocean ...
In the distance, as we approached the "Twelve Apostles", we saw a whale that made the huge splash!
The Twelve Apostles are huge rocks shaped by wind and sand from the ocean, unfortunately there have also been killed hundreds of people, as a result of the numerous wrecks of ships that were or were from the Old World! The wide
palette that opened our eyes made us stand open-mouthed, and here we took dozens of photos!
Actually, the posts have been wonderful and the fact that our vacation was almost over, but this place has left me a bit 'of melancholy and a great desire to return to Australia as soon as possible, but maybe an emotion that we felt every time we had to leave! L
Well anyway the rest of the trip we passed between the search for koalas in the trees and an old film set in these places, while the bus brought us back to Melbourne from breathtaking landscapes .... Auummm!
Once in Melbourne we took a tour of shops and shops and then for dinner we went to the "Movida", where we fired more than $ 100 Basque Tapas and beer! Oh, but you wish it was our last dinner Australian!
