APOLLO BAY


We spent most of the day at Alan’s yesterday. It made Chris’ day to be able to meet up and spend time with him. Fillet steak on the barby – Mmmmmm, delicious! Because Chris had drunk a few ‘tinnies’, I had to drive. Once we got on to the Great Ocean Road, it was great fun because it’s a really winding road with magnificent views. We could have done with more time to stop en route to take in the view and we did manage to stop but we needed to get to the hotel before it got too late. We stopped to photograph a fantastic sunset.


We followed the sat nav and it directed us inland, which then turned out into a narrow winding dirt track to the top of a huge ‘mountain’. The sat nav didn’t show as a road and Chris was convinced we had taken a wrong turn. Then we came across the hotel at the top which was a retreat centre and absolutely amazing. Our room was a corner suite with awesome views of the sea. We ate a sumptuous breakfast. The only problem was that, once again, Wi-Fi wasn’t available, so will post this when we next get a signal. I am struggling to get a photo album available but will post more photos as soon as I can.

Today we’re travelling the Great Ocean Road and plan to stop to see ‘The 12 Apostles’. I’ll try to keep you posted. – Julie
