'G.O.D'
Hey guys!!
As I sit here, chocolate at hand, my cute cat by side I reflect on my past week in Victoria. Enjoy…
I have just arrived home after an amazing 8 day trip spanning from Melbourne to Geelong and continuing onto Port Fairy, along the Great Ocean Drive (G.O.D) with mum. Each and every town along our Victorian road-trip was just as adorable as the next; from Lorne to Port Campbell to the rugged, Irish town of Port Fairy and our detour through Beech Forest. What caught my eye the most was when we first drove past the sign welcoming us to the quaint little town of Beech Forest. A huge pine tree had been decorated with Christmas bon bons.
Now, I could rave on about all of the unbelievably attractive towns along the way, but that would take way too long, so I will skip this and continue to talk about a few highlights along the way.
Day four of our road-trip, after surprise visiting family friends, Mum and I arrived at Otway National Park and went Tree top flying! You know when you fly (attached by harness onto a line) from one huge tree too another? Either way, this day was freezing! And let me tell you, flying through a forest in the rain and wind was not the most comfortable of experiences. None the less, the feeling of flying though the air - rain or shine - was incredible. As we headed off for one of our last treetop flights we were given the option of having a photo as a reminder our time. Of course, obligingly, I smiled, all puffy faced and red nosed before jumping off the station into the air.
Day 5 we decided to stop at Port Campbell. a town which can be walked in its entirety within 2 minutes. Once again, it was windy and cold, we even slept with electric blankets. And I'm talking about what’s meant to be an Australian summer!
Day 6; the day we finally got to see the 12 Apostles (not that there are 12 anymore) and I even walked on the ever-popular Gibson Beach, home to the Apostles. Along the way, we discovered Loc Ard Gorge, which I must say was one of THE cutest bays I have seen in my entire life! After seeing a number of signs advertising seals and penguins I was rather disappointed to find no such thing when I reached the bottom of the multitude of stairs. Irrelevant of this I was totally blown away with the beauty of this place, if only I could live here! You will know what I mean when you see the photo (below).
That’s all for now. I must say, hardly anything from the road-trip has been covered in this blog, it would never end if I kept going. I will, however, leave you with a fun video of Mum and I on a windy cliff as we first spot an Apostle. (which will be uploaded when I get to a computer which actually registers the files, latr this week. Keep posted) Enjoy.
Until next time,

P.S :
Even though I have already mentioned the beauty of the G.O.D, I have to reiterate the insaneness of its beauty. On one side you have this clear blue water along contrasting rugged rocks and cliffs, and then when you turn your head to look out the other window you have lush green fields.
