The final day of the tour - Happy Valentine's Day!
We were up early, packed our things and had hot chocolate - a Valentine treat from Steve, our guide. We made our way back to The Twelve Apostles hoping to get a nice sunrise. We didn't really get one, too many clouds. It was a quick trip back to the Twelve Apostles and then we hit the road, the Great Ocean Road.
Along the way, we stopped at Great Otway National Park where I saw my first wild Koala Bear - awwww so cute! But, these Koalas are not very bright. Apparently, these poor Koalas are devolving due to inbreeding - cute, but dumb. The next stop was for a walk through the rain forest, then a few more stops along the Great Ocean Road with, what else, Great Ocean views. Caroline and I highjacked a heart in the sand made for MJ - Michael Jackson maybe? The beginning (or end depending on which way you are driving) of the Great Ocean Road has a historic monument as a tribute to the soldiers that came back from WWII. The soldiers were hired to carve out The Great Ocean Road - this was a great gesture from the Australian government as the depression was upon the world and jobs were hard to come by.
And we were off - away from the Great Ocean Road headed toward The Great city of Melbourne. Upon arriving in the city, the first sign I saw said "Making Love? Do It Longer" - I think I am going to like it here. Hahaha! I was dropped off at my hostel and later that evening a group from the tour met up at a pub for a night out. Fun time!
