Well deserved break....

It has always been something I wanted to do in Victoria, that is a road trip up Great Ocean Road and check out the amazing scenery that I'v heard so much about. Well, last weekend, I got exactly that.

We decided to leave work an hour earlier than usual, get home and pack and out the door by 5pm, have dinner at Colak and reach Warrnambool before 9pm. The plan was to stay at Warrnambool on Friday night, check out Warrnambool and its surrounding on Saturday then head back to Melbourne via Great Ocean Road on Sunday.

We managed to get out the door at 4.30pm which was great. The drive up to Colak was pretty smooth, traffic was alright, nothing to complain about except a few dickheads here and there (as usual). I'm not 100% sure but I think we reach Colak at about 6ish and had fish and chips at the local park. Not really a good idea unless you are a fan of seagulls. Wished I had my blowpipe with me.

The rest of the trip was rather nice, driving towards the sunset, listening to music and random chats about nothing and everything.

When we got to Warrnambool, even though it was close to 8.30pm, it was still light. The motel that we checked in was big but very basic. It does have a spa though but the shower doesnt work properly and the milk they have in the fridge for us is past its used by date. Nothing much we could do about it so we decide to head out to the local supermarket for some supplies, nibblies, milk etc. This is where my iPhone comes to good use, locating the closest store. *wink*

Saturday

Got up, showered and ready for action! Found a nice little cafe for breakie (it's cheap and the food was pretty good) then off we go, discovering little spots and towns surrounding Warrnambool. The plan was to take things as they come, so it was a fairly relaxing day. We went to the local market, had a walk on the beach, checked out some local antique stores and went to the so called Cheeseworld. And what a laugh that was. Even though it's right beside the factory where they produce cheeses, the joint was a bit sad. We had lunch there and I was served the most amazing (not) chicken schnitzel I'v ever had in my life. Somehow, the schnitzel doesn't have any chicken taste and to top it off biting it feels as if you are biting on carboard. Thick cardboard!

After lunch and spending a few dollars on cheeses and snacks, we head off to Logan's beach which is known for whale watching. And of course, we don't see any because it is not the right time of the year. It was, however, a very nice beach and the cool breeze and the scenery makes it a very enjoyable experience and we did manage to snap some pictures. 

We head back to the motel after Logan's, we were fairly tired so we spend the rest of the afternoon at the motel, watching tennis and random movies.

Sunday

Waking up fairly early (well 9am is early for me on a Sunday) had breakfast, packed and ready to go again. I must say, I was fairly excited because it will be the trip back to Melbourne via Great ocean Road. This was what the trip is all about, the 12 Apostles!

The drive was as usual (I mean usual throughout the trip, beautiful scenery everywhere). We did have a few stops before we got to the 12 Apostles and the scenery on each stops were breath taking. The stops weren't busy but there were enough people around to make the walk ways crowded. Especially those retards that spread among themselves and assume people will give way to them. Dicks!

A few stops later, we got to THE spot. 12 Apostles. The walk way towards the cliff face was very well looked after, was wondering how much the local council spend on maintenance.

Anyway, enough said. I'v got to my desired destination now. The rest are not relevant. Enjoy the pictures... wish I had more but I don't.
