Down Under Day 5: Great Ocean Road Part 1

There are some places where photos simply don't do justice.

The Great Ocean Road is one of them.

Although i have been told that it's possible to go on the GOR and return to the city in the same day, I'm glad we decided to spread out the drive into 2 days because this is one scenic route you don't want to rush.

Outfit of the day

Another rainbow! Sighted along the 2 hour drive to Torquay, the start of the 243km Great Ocean Road

We had breakfast at Macs and did some quick window shopping at Surf City Plaza

Beautiful beach at Lorne

Had a late lunch at the Salty Dog Fish n Chippery at Lorne. After our satisfying meal, we took a long winding drive, through the Otway ranges, to the Cape Otway Lightstation. We barely made it before the closing time of 5pm.

After the last stop of our day, we checked into The Beachfront Motel & Cottages at Apollo Bay for an early night's rest.
