Day One Hundred and Sixty

We got up early in readiness for heading to the airport. We were collected by Bill and off we went to the Airport. Not 100m from leaving the house we were hit by a woman up the road driving out of her drive. We basically crunched in the front of the car. To be fair it's a blind manoeuvre getting out of our drives into the lane behind us but you can edge out slowly so passing cars like us can see you coming, it was just instant and out of nowhere.

At the end of the day no one was hurt which is main thing.

We then had to get to airport as poor Carols car was not drivable. trying to get a taxi at 8am on Bridge Road isn't a goer! We headed for the tram and to central station. We then jumped on a train to the airport.

After that little escapade our travel all went quite smoothly, a simple flight down to Melbourne and then we picked up the hire car no problems.

We then set off for the Great Ocean Road. We had some lunch at a service stop where the woman serving dint understand the concept of service, miserable c#w.

We drove down to Anglesea and Lorne. At Lorne we some snacks and a walk.

We then proceeded to drive to Apollo Bay where we were staying. On route we almost ran a Koala over who decided to cross the road in front of us, unheard of apparently.

We got to our accommodation, it was great, the only 5 star accommodation on the Great Ocean Road, its here

and I have to say thoroughly recommended if you get a chance.

Kate and I took a walk on beach and then we all went into town to pick up a takeaway of pizzas and fish and chips. A few bevvies and food later it was bed time.


Ouch!
