Great Ocean Road
hmm... very tired now. At library, just came back from 12 apostle. Let me tell you all the stuff. Man! it were so so fun.

Yesterday after library, we just went to check out the car rental, who knows that we got a car rented for just $60, include insurance. What car? Its Holden Barina, done 28,500km, auto (no manual available). Yup! booked it on 4:30pm, so at that 2 and half hours before 4:30pm, we went to buy our food supply cost total travel through and back is about 8 hours.

Picked up the car, then we just depart from Melbourne city. While we drive, always remind ourselves with "Keep left turn right". Stop at McD for dinner at 6pm then we just head up to 12 Apostle, passing by Colac (small town, short cut to 12 apostle that will joined back to Great Ocean Road), Galibern, Lavers Hill, then 12 apostle.

When we reach there, its about 8:30pm, cool and windy. The temperture in the car desboard shown 5.5degree and the car just like turbulance. We quickly jump out from the car and we find ourselve a shelter... man! I can't imagine if we have no shelter. The wind so strong that even the car shake when it is parked. We Meet this guy from Germen, who travelling from brsiabne down to melbour and will back to Alice spring. He is our friend for that night. About 10pm, we get ready to sleep by placing our sleeping beg on the prefect spot on the car seat. Its was a very scary night... wind... car shake... mirror fog up.... the form from the sea blew up to the car park which 200m away from the cliff. That was the best travel plan that I ever had before.

Planned to wake up at 4am to see sunrise... ended up... we kept snopzing till 6am because no sunlight. Anyway, we final got up and washed up... The Gremen friend joined us for this sunrise at 12 apostle. wah.... so so so cool... we were walking agianst the ocean wind... blowing through our frozen face... I am so happy to see these rock called as 12 apostle sitting on the sea side of the ocean. I told myself, "finally... finally... this is the one.... this is the beuty of what creator had made."

Heading back to car and ready for the journey back to Melbourne. Drove along the Greaty Ocean Road... feeling just great because I am driving beside the ocean.... the waves, mountain and sea.... just make me feel so so great.

Now, i still haven't recovered from the excitement... hardly to express out because i am in the mood of sleepy. I am so sleepy but yet... the excitement!!!! wah!!!
