The Great Ocean Road

We left Sydney for Melbourne, which was nice change of pace. A much more laid back city, not quite as slick and go, go, go as Sydney. We spent the morning in the Queen Victoria Market (Think Atwater market x 10) and the afternoon in the botanical gardens.
This morning, Denver went and rented a car and we left Melbourne to drive the Great Ocean Road to Port Fairy, where we are staying for the next 2 nights.

The scenery was amazing - and the road was the twistiest one I have even been on - so much so that Oliver had his first bout of car sickness. Poor little guy.

The weather has taken a bit of a turn... we were speaking with the manager of the hostel who told us that the temperature outside tonight is a balmy 6 degrees. Brrrrr! Oh well, as long as the sun is shining tommorrow while we are out and about we don't really mind!

We will spend the day here tomorrow before making our way back to Melbourne and then flying out to Adelaide on the 12th.

Cheers!
