A 3 for
1 day- 3fer!
Sunrise! - we awoke to cloudy, rolling
skies. Bonus! That's what spectacular sunrises are made
from. We quickly hopped onto the road
and got to the ocean and wow!! We saw the
angels singing the day in...check this out and see if you agree!
We then
shot back to the lighthouse at split rock to see if it might brighten up. By the time we finished it was nearly 8 am
and the breakfast places were opening.
After a yummy breakfast where we learned why food is so expensive....the
minimum wage is $22/hr! We headed off
Apollo Bay toward the zip lines. Along
the way there were lots of photo ops! We
stopped in at Kennett River and saw Koala bears in their natural setting. It was day time so of course they were sleeping.
We then
headed into the hills to the Zip lining.
We had never done this before and boy was it fun!! There were 8 zip stations and two bridges to traverse. All along the way they told us about the rain
forest. Will definitely do this again!!
By now
it 3:15 with sunset at 6 and hours to go .... 12 Apostles...we ran for it and made
it. Luckily it was overcast and the light
was uniform and built for taking our kind of pictures! We shot and shot and went from pull off to
pull off until it was dark! Boy were we
hungry when we got to Warrnambool!
The MidCity
hotel was great! Comfortable bed and amazing
rain forest shower! Not much was open for
dinner since it was a holiday so we headed for the pub and were very pleasantly
surprised! Extensive menu, good food and
of course Guinness on tap! Happy Cheri!
It rained
torrentially, thundered and lightning through the night. We slept till nearly 8 and the storm was
breaking up and the blue sky reappearing!
Love it when it rains at night!
