Day 4 260512

Welcome to Day 4! I'm quite surprised at my persistence since I've come thus far lol. This day has got to be the BEST tour of all! What we did was purely sight-seeing, no activities involved. Yes it might sound like a bore but seeing one of the most spectacular sights in the world is just.. worthwhile.

The birds there are fearless! They don't fly away when you go closer <3

Stopped by a park before leaving for Great Ocean Road

And the journey starts here!



Welcome to Great Ocean Road!




I apologize for the reflection but I wanna share this despite of the imperfection haha.
Would have been a nice scenic pic if it wasn't because of the reflection, isn't it?! :p

Meh.




Lunch @ Apollo Bay!


My sis and I decided to go on a helicopter flight @ A$ 80. We've come so far, why not?!
Oh haven't I introduced the 12 Apostles! If we were viewing from the look out point, we could only see approx. 7, but on a helicopter flight, we could see all 13!
I know right the name is 12 yet there are 13. Find out more yourself if you would like to LOL


He is mega H.O.T but I couldn't take his pic, too obvious.


We were so close to rainbow! 

Naturally formed soft rock. Spectacular sight!




I never got bored looking back at these. If you had the chance, see it with your naked eyes pls! Though it's around RM250 for 8min flight, I never regretted it!

After all it could be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. How often do you go right haha




Stand on top of the cliff and feel the ultra strong wind. You feel small, literally.

My hands were shaking so badly trying to capture these

@ Loch Ard Gorge



They call this the London Bridge
There're 4 famous attractions along the Great Ocean Road, though they may seem alike (cuz it's all about ocean, cliffs, and soft rocks), I felt excited each time the bus pulled over :p

And ready to get your boots dirty~


At the end of the day, we stopped by Port Campbell for tea - a small town with 400 residents

Mocha~

My last decent pic with Great Ocean Road tour. 

Till then, bye bye!

Day 3 250512

I have to be honest, I didn't quite enjoy the tour on this day. Partly because people were telling me Puffing Billy is a NO NO and what a waste of time it is, sigh jinxed to the maximum *not blaming* haha. Jenn almost laughed her ass off even. Should have chosen Philip Island instead! I'd rather lay my eyes on penguins. And also, I guess partly because it was the coldest day of all. The rain made walking-around much tougher, yet I only wore...

Quite a thin blazer and stockings -_-
Thank god I managed to adapt to it pretty quickly through the day :p

Other than the experience of taking a ride on the century-old steam train that's still running on mountain track, there was really nothing much about it. Ahh the greenery was eye-soothing though. Fresh air was a plus point.









I hope you feel the slight chill just by looking at this pic lol

See, told you it was literally nothing besides the TRAIN.

And god I had no idea what would this entire tour mean if I hadn't seen kangaroo or koalas!! :( I couldn't believe I DID NOT get to take a photograph with any of 'em. Throughout my 5 days tour, I only spotted ONE kangaroo and ONE koala (brown one) that's all. My sis chose winery over wildlife sanctuary. Wow wow wow. If only I paid attention during the tour selection.

Next stop: Fergusson for lunch!









Outside the ladies





Foccacia



Spotted this when we pulled up at Rochford, Yarra Valley.



I swear it could have been such a nice place to hang out if it wasn't because of the rain, can't you see?!









Cafe, Gallery, and Restaurant under one roof.

Dad will never be done with his art thingy hehe

Bought 2 bottles after wine tasting.
Nobody told me that my hair looked like shit

\
Heading off to another winery. I seriously have no interest, could have been better if we went to wildlife park at least! I mean what can you do there besides tasting wine. You can do it like anywhere~
And with that thick French accent of demonstrators, as if we could fully understand the process!

But I gotta love the way they look. So cozy and welcoming.



Back to Melbourne city after a boring day -_-
This post sounds quite gloomy isn't it, cuz I'm feeling gloomy.
Blame the rain. I've never liked it.
