More Melbourne

(So behind on my blogging... no excuses!)

So the rest of my Melbourne trip was spent mostly outside the city. We got to see a lot of the country-side and this was probably my favorite part of the trip. We rented a car and drove along the Great Ocean Road outside of Melbourne. It was beautiful... very cold and mostly overcast, but the sights were gorgeous. 

We stopped a lot along the way to see wild koalas and random other things. But the pièce de résistance was the Twelve Apostles- which is an amazing rock formation in the ocean. Of course my picture is crap... but trust me it was awesome and totally worth the very long drive. 

Also amazing was London Bridge, pictured below... but as you can see the weather was hating us that day... and we had to get indoors quickly. 

After a strange night, we spent the next day doing some more country sightseeing. At some point we stopped to see a lighthouse and on our hike there we saw a wild echidna and a wallaby... both Australian natives and both very shy! But somehow we never saw one kangaroo... which was disappointing for me.  

All in all it was a really great trip. We spent our last night living it up in Melbourne and, of course, the next day recovering. I heart this egg-shaped swing! :)
