I went on a trip along the Great Ocean Road. I booked the trip two days ago in my hostel. Early in the morning a mini bus arrived to pick me up.
We were going through Geelong - the second biggest city in Victoria. The first stop was at Bells Beach which is popular with surfers. The views were fantastic, but it was only the beginning of those spectacular views that day.
We had some other stops while going to the Twelve Apostles and all places were breathtaking. There was a place with a white lighthouse and the view of the ocean and rocks were amazing there.
Later we stopped in a place where I saw koalas for the first time in my life. Apart from koalas there were also parrots.
Then we had lunch in Apollo Bay. In fact we had some free time and I went to the beach. The sand was so hot there that it was almost impossible to stand on it for too long, but water in the ocean was not hot.
We also had a walk in a rainforest and later we finally reached our destiantion - Port Campbell National Park where you can admire Twelve Apostles - rocks in the ocean. The views were breathtaking and blue ocean and gold rocks looked fantastic.
Then we visited another place as Twelve Apostles are not located in one place only so between the stops there was some drving.
Lorch Ard Gorge was a charming place and it was possible to go down the stairs and once again walk a bit on hot sand. It's a pity we were pressed on time and could not spend there too much time.
In the last place there was a rock called London Bridge.
After this place we were heading back to Melbourne. It was a nice and hot day and as I mentioned we were pressed on time so wherever we stopped we did not have too much time to admire the views which is a pity. However, I did not realise that Twelve Apostles are so far away from Melbourne as it took us a lot of time to reach this place. At the end everybody was tired as the whole day was full of attractions and emotions and some running as well. What I like about Australian trips is the fact that the driver always takes you back to the place where you stay. I love it.
