Melbourne and The Great Ocean Road

Today Chelsea and I took a day tour of the Great Ocean Road. We woke up at 6, got picked up by the bus at 7, and then went to pick up all of the other people at the other hostels. As per usual we were the only ones from the U.S. Did I mention hardly any people from the U.S. come to Australia? So we had a fair amount of English, Chinese and Korean.

It was brisk today, but beautiful. We saw the famous surf beach, Bells Beach, some koalas in the wild (I was unfortunately stung by a Bull Ant while taking a picture of one of the cuddly creatures), the 12 Apostles, and Loch Ard Gorge. It was quite a full day, so now we are relaxing in our hostel, watching Tommy Boy (of all things), and doing laundry. Tomorrow we'll walk around town some more and do a little more exploring before hopping on a plane to Sydney in the evening. I'm still taking antibiotics and hoping to be rid of this stupid cough before Thailand. But I'm getting excited to go. Looking forward to the beaches and the cheaper prices!
