Great Ocean Road Tour

An unforgettable tour, much better than the last time I went with my friends, as we were guided to places rather than anyhow stopping to have a look. The downside was too rush as usual for any other tours. We went to bell beach 1st for photo taking & morning tea. A place I had not been too. The driver/tour guide prepared billy tea, brewing tea leaves in a bucket. The method of mixing the tea leaves in the hot water is to swing the bucket 3 time overhead in the clockwise direction then another 1 time anti-clock. Ofcourse, there would be some water spilling out of the bucket. Next was 2 scenic lookouts for photo taking, both were better location than those my friends & I picked last time. After the 1st scenic lookout, we had an unforgettable incident. Never EVER go to the coach toilet when its moving along CURVY roads, my girlfriend kana motion sickness after that and vomitted...^ ^;; Fortunately, she became lively again in the afternoon. Next was Apollo Bay a small town in the middle of the Great Ocean Road, my friends & I stopped by this place for dinner last time, this time it was for lunch, ironically, we ate at the same place and the same table. We had an hour free & easy time so we went to take some wonderful beach photos & hill photos. Next was straight to 12 Apostles. This time I got to sit on a helicopter with my girlfriend for about 10 mins. The view from the sky was magnificent. There is an eroded coast that looks like a shape of a seahorse. Next was to the main senic site of 12 Apostles. Took several pictures as usual then moved on to the Loch Ard Gorge aka shipwreck coast which is where the seahorse lies. Went with my friends the last time, which we missed out on a cave site, this time I managed to bring my girlfriend along. Port Campbell was the next stop, which we ate some snacks in that small town. There is a park beside the dock which is also a good photo taking site. Then, finally our last stop, London Bridge, another great senic lookout. We were told about an incident from the tour guide, found this website that tells the story. That marked the end of the day tour. Next day will be the City Tour & Penguin Parade. Yeah .... little animals :>
