Melbourne

Well, it is 6:51am and I am currently sitting in the airport awaiting a flight to Alice Springs.

We arrived in Melbourne on Sunday night, got our rental car, and headed to our hostel. Once settled in we went and found some dinner and resisted all the wonderful shops along the way. We were in bed early as we had a long day ahead of us on Monday.

Monday morning we were out on the open road to Great Ocean Road. About an hour into we both had the feeling that something wasnt right, so we pulled over at a gas station to ask if we were going in the right direction. Needless to say we had gone the wrong way, so we got back on the highway once again.

Great Ocean Road is beautiful!!! We stopped at Bell's Beach, a long stretch of beach completly secluded. After that we had lunch in Apollo Bay before heading back out on the road. We ended up at the 12 Apostles (check it out online, its beautiful) around 5:30pm, which left us to drive the long way back in the dark. It is much like the Sea to Sky highway back home, but the views are ten times better.

I'm hoping to post pictures at our next stop which is Alice Springs. Actually, we are flying into Alice Springs and then renting a car to drive to Kings Canyon where we will spend the night. Tomorrow morning we will make our way to Ayers Rock and back to Alice Springs tomorrow night as we have an early flight on Thursday morning to Brisbane.

We are going through each city so fast, but we don't have another option considering how many different places we want to see. Once Saturday comes along, we will be with a tour group for 12 days which will leave all of the planning out of our hands!!!!

Thats it for now... more from the Red Center later!!
