Family Visit Part 6: The Great Ocean Road

A last minute (sort of) thought I had was that while in Melbourne we could take a drive down the Great Ocean Road. This is a scenic drive along the coast of the what I've recently learned is now the Southern Ocean. You probably knew that. I'm always the last to know. This was our third beautiful sunny day in Victoria which is something like a miracle. Well, it may be a miracle. We're waiting for word from the Pope still. Don't let on like you know. He likes to make the big announcements.



We ate the breakfast we had purchased at the cool-o bakery the day before (more spinach and cheese quiche for me, thank you!) and left our Cooee home about 7:30 AM. We stopped to watch the surfers. We stopped so Elaine could touch the Southern Ocean and so the Southern Ocean could touch her (see wet pants). We stopped to watch waves crash along the shore and green hills roll across the horizon. Our final stop was for the Twelve Apostles. It was nearing 4 and the sun was low. Fortunately, we'd learned there was a second route back to Geelong. We made the trip that had taken us over 6 hours in 2.
