Day 59: Road Trippin'

Hey everyone! This will be another short post, only because 1 day has passed. Anyways, I'm sitting here in Port Campbell, Victoria, Australia. This has been the first day of my 10/11/12 day trip. I'm not sure exactly how many days. Kinda of out of it right now, sorry.

We saw a lot, driving from Melbourne to here in Port Campbell. But part of that is because we stopped, took photos, stopped, took photos, etc. It turns out that when I was talking about how many people are on the tour, I knew nothing. There are 11 of us on the Melbourne to Adelaide portion, and only 8 of us are going to Alice Springs onwards. But we may pick up more in Adelaide I really don't know.

The first of the main highlights of today was driving along the Great Ocean Road. Basically, the drive was right along the close ocean and it was amazing. The view was.... amazing. Right along the Southern Ocean. Granted I tried really really really hard not to nod off a bit, but alas I did. Here are some pictures.

Ooooooooh

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Next, we stopped at the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures. Basically, we walked on these platforms more than 100 feet up in the air of a rainforest that looked like it was right out of Jurassic Park. And once again, it was amazing. Now the drive here was just as beautiful as the rainforest. Rolling green hills as far as the eye can see. Being from Arizona, rolling green hills are only seen on the golf courses. And then it got really foggy, which was terrifying for me because the tour guide driving was keeping normal speed because obviously he knows how to drive in the fog but fog isn't common in Arizona so I was having a silent mini-panic attack in the back there. But other than that, it was amazing.

See? Jurassic Park!

And the final part I'm going to talk about is the 12 Apostels, a famous rock formation here. Spoiler Alert: There are only 8 of them. We watched the sun set here, and once again, amazing. Beautiful. I'm sure we have stuff like this in Arizona, but when you live someplace you don't really appreciate it you know? That's why I love traveling. I feel like everything will fill more special when I get back. 

Pretty right?

Sorry I'm so scatterbrained. I'm tired, but I want to get these up as soon as possible so I don't fall behind. 

If you want to see all the pictures I've taken, look at my Albums on Facebook! If you are reading this from my personal blog, and aren't a Facebook friend yet, talk to me over there! If you're reading this from some other outlet and I don't know you.... sorry.
