Roundup part 3: Great ocean road

DARY!

anyways, welcome back!

So in this part I will tell you what we did during Emmys last day in Melbourne! Late the Sunday night, after the diving, Emmy decided that we should drive along the great ocean road on the day after. Said and done Melanie was kind enough to drive us and show us around. It started out as an early morning, I was pretty much the only one who had some sleep that night, at 7am and we drove off to campus to pick up Lauren.

As you can see in the pictures we were very excited to go :)

We drove off and took a quick visit to Melanies hometown, can't remember the name of it now but it's just outside of Melbourne.. I think

Very pretty little town, we arrived just as it woke up and had us some breakkie and coffee. We drove around for a bit and headed off for the great ocean road!

As we only had time to do a one-day trip we decided to go to Lourne and the waterfall park near there.

The view from the car on the way there was very nice, it's so weird that we haven't that much outside of Melbourne. At especially Andy and Emmy!

Maybe not the best picture of it, but still ;)

When we arrived to Lourne we (mostly me) made a lot of puns because Lauren was with us (Lourne ≈ Lauren) such as "look at all those kids, playing in Lauren/Lourne" you know.. :)
We stayed for a quick toilet visit and a stretch of legs, and then we gathered our strengths and took on the challenge of getting to the waterfall!

Lauren and Emmy in Lourne, a Laurnception if you will!


Not as dramatic as I suggested it was, just some steep hills that the precious Volvo didn't really want to climb but it did anyways! Good Volvo!

You would think that we actually read this sign, we didn't so I know nothing about the place more than I saw when I was there.


It was an astonishing nature and very beautiful indeed, some tourists but not that many more than us.
So here's some pictures of it:

isn't this misspelled?

A word that if I remember correctly is about falling trees or something..?

The gang!

WATERFALL!!

The non-separable girls

Andy is excited

Trying to look normal

oh no you don't we're not done yet!

We started walking along the creek instead of heading to another place, very adventurous of us :)

I miss this crazy old woman (she's two days older than me) already!

Obviously the swedes were in the front of the trekking..

After we decided to go back, Andy mistook water for ground, we went back to Lourne and went out on a pier and just watched the sea for a bit. Then we headed back home so we would have time for a goodbye dinner with Lauren and Emmy. I drove back because Melanie was sleepy and I offered myself to drive, I love driving. 

when finally back in Melbourne we made ourselves ready and headed down to Stollies for dinner, had a few drinks in Fitzroy and headed home. 

It was a great day with many laughs and a lot of adventure, kind of a pre-taste of our road trip that is just around the corner!

HUGS!
