My Australia trip.....Fun Fun Fun!!! Day 5

The beautiful beaches of Apollo Bay does live up to its name. I rose early today to make breakfast (or breaky as they like to call it down under). After a sumptuous (overly fatty.. hahaha) meal of eggs, sausages and bread, we made our way to the roaring sea. The health freaks with their dogs have already beaten us to it and left tracks all over the beach for us to admire. The icy sea water on the other hand, is not too friendly to cold feet of ours.....

After a few rounds around the tiny town of Apollo Bay (which shows my interpretation of town is definitely different from the aussies), we made our way back to our villa and relunctantly say good bye. A nice place and we made a point to come back if and when we have the chance again...

Check out the Villa!

We decided to take an adventure trip to Marriner's Fall. After a scenic drive thru the rain forest, which included some very cramp driving when 2 cars meet in the small road, we arrived to see in dismay that it requires another hour to track the 3.4 km to the falls. As time is precious, we had to make a U-turn on this. maybe another day another trip i guess....

The next stretch of the Great Ocean Rd consists of falling cliffs and narrow stretch. I quite enjoy the sea by my side as i breeze thru the road ahead. Although we did get a few pesky hounders along the way, the drivers were generally nice and polite on the road.

There is a place along the G.O. Rd where everyone says we definitely have to take photo and this is the memorial arch. Its an arch to commeorate the efforts put in by the returning Australia soldiers from WWII who has contributed to the building of the G.O Rd. So, here is our lovely photo. :)

We reached Queenscliff in time for the 3pm ferry that will bring us to Sorrento. This is the end of the part with the Grean Ocean Road. Truly memorable and I will encourage anyone to give it a shot. I quite sure you will enjoy it too......

As we cross the lake and reached the sleepy town of Sorrento, everything seems to have close and as usual there would be nothing to do except for dinner and tv. As we window shop a bit around the 'town', we were surprised to see that the cinema is actually open! and they have late night shows.... However, the price is steep. about 14 Aussie dollars per person. As the shows were not really compelling, we left it behind us and went for unexpectably, the best restaurant dinner that we were going to have in Australia.

The place was called The Baths. It is recommended to us by our B&B (Dougal) owner. They have been around and they serve good seafood. I had a lovely special of Seared Tuna with Couscous while the mrs had a very nice seafood marinara pasta. A great way to round off the day with a cool relaxing riesling.....
