We were too early on the Sunday morning as we made our way to the shopping streets of Richmond. So, we had to walk around and window shop for a while. Luckily, the shops started opening from 1030 onwards. The Mrs had a great time at Country Road though. Check out the shopping bags......
We had lunch at the nearby Degraves street before making our way to Hertz. Check out the huge bowl of soup they served!!!
A little surprise awaits me at HertZ as i was upgraded from a Camry to a Audrion. Never driven one of those baby so was looking forward to testing it along the Great Ocean Road. We got a GPS (her name is Susan! ) and was gamely assured that we will Never get Lost with it! hahahaha...
Anyway, armed with Susan and a very nice and stable car, we embarked on our road trip! First stop is to drive all the way to Warrnambool, 263 km away from Melbourne. Then, we will make our way back along the famous Great Ocean Road.Nothing much happened along the way, just a smooth drive and constantly trying to keep myself from pressing too hard on the accelerator. Australia is famous for keeping a close lid on the speed demons. well, some things are better left unsaid..... At least i had my Red Rock Deli to keep the hunger away... ....
We reached Warrnambool at around 5 plus. It may seem early for some of you but with the Autumn weather upon us, we were fast losing light. Advised by our nice receptionist at the Comfort Inn, she told us we MUST see the laser light show of Shipwrecked at Flagstaffhill.
We hesitated at first as we thought she was trying to make some commission. Anyway, as there was nothing much to do after dark, we decided to give it a shot. Overall, its a lovely experience and we were glad we did it. Because the famous shipwrecked story is told and re-told along the Great Ocean Road... luckily, we watched it. Or else we wont know how the hero saves the damsel in distress on the dark and stormy night.... Well, as least it was worth the money. :)
