A Beachin’ Life…
Saturday, December 29th, 2007So we checked out the beach at Lorne and found the water too cold and beach too riddled with flies to tolerate so we decided to continue down the Great Ocean Road and check out the famous views. It really is beautiful for the most part… but there is one (long) section that should be renamed the Average Inland Road. Oh well, we saw the 12 Apostles which are the great rock pillars that are along the coast. (Although there are not actually 12 of them… hmm). The next day, we decided to take a mini-drive up to the next beach, Anglesea. It was gorgeous, had very few flies, and the weather grew hot giving us an awesome beach day. After playing in the fabulous waves, we drove back to Lorne, cleaned up and made dinner. After that, we stopped and watched an evening movie… (The Golden Compass.. eh). We strolled along the strip, stopping to watch the evening surfers take their last few waves, the last few skateboarder/roller bladers do their last few tricks at the skate park… and then (not to be outdone), Paula and I bounced on the public trampolines and showed those pesky kids what the big kids could do 😉
As the evening wore on, we stopped for late night pizza and some late night live music at the local pub. Then back to the camp site for the night… what a day!!!
