Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road

Landed yesterday in a very humid Melbourne... Lovely place - a lot more chilled that Sydney and a great place to walk around... which I did most of yesterday... great blisters.

But today I went on a tour of the Great Ocean Road. 7am this morning I was picked up at the bus station and myself and another 36 passengers we're whizzed off up coast. The journey was pretty hair raising at times... esp. going round the tight bends of the corners whilst looking down shear cliff faces... Only small issue was the weather closed in.. a thick mist was coming in off the sea which messed up the visibility a little... Saw loads of Koala's in their tree's and went past bells beach (from the film point break apparently).

After lunch we headed to the spectacular Twelve Apostles... huge sandstone rocks sitting out at sea... as the weather had cleared up I decided to take advantage of the special offer the tour was offering - a helicopter ride over the Apostles... BLOODY AMAZING! It was like Magnum Pi's copter only it was white... Once we landed - the tour headed to Loch Ard Gorge -a huge cove which has a history of ship wrecks... the most famous one I forgotten.. genius...! From there to London Bridge - another huge rock and then home... cool day! Though the coach was half full of Korean and Japanese Tourists who I now believe do not know how to read the time.. seriously they were crap! Anyway - I'm off to bed as I'm knackered!!!

Hope all's well!
