Leaving the apartment at 4 am to catch our flight with only a couple of hours of sleep put a dark cloud over the beginning of our travels but once we were at the airport and a bit of coffee was in us we were ready to go. When we got to Melbourne and checked into our hotel we headed right out into the city. What a great place. Melbourne is one of those cities that has everything you could want. Especially shopping! Our days were packed with shopping and sightseeing and our nights were full of restaurants and wine. Basically we shopped and ate our way around all corners of Melbourne. It really is the “most livable city” as the saying goes. I would go back there in a second.
After a couple of days we took the train out of the city to meet with Mom and Dad in the south of Victoria. We got back to the country club and headed right out for a little hike. We went to a field just outside of town and went kangaroo hunting. It was just at dusk so they were all coming down the hills to the valley. There must have been 100 in the area. It was amazing.
The next day we got in the car and drove to the Great Ocean Road. Everyone said we couldn’t do it, but we did. We drove all the way in 12 hours. It was a huge drive but it was worth it. We went to the 12 Apostles and Julia and I took a helicopter ride to see them all. A couple of days later one of the apostles fell and now there are officially only 8 left. We also went to the rainforest and did a canopy walk. 45 meters in the air and all the rainforest around us. Mom and Dad even climbed to the highest point, but you know me and staircases…. I stayed at the base safe and sound. It was still a great experience.
Our next move is to the Victorian Alps, Im guessing its going to be much colder!!!!
