zuanqing extraordinaire

Starting the day with a healthy brekkie! Cornflakes, chips and leftover oranges from previous night dinner

We checked out of our motor inn and hit the road again! Twelve apostles and Lord Arch Gorge on the list.

Brrr waking up to 5 degree C morning is no joke! I just want to stay in bed under my warm covers all day haha. But feeling wide awake and unable to get to sleep, decided to commence on my next post while I nua around in bed for a while more.

Day 02 of #FAM2906 saw us picking up our rental car and driving to Great Ocean Road! Stopping at Geelong Waterfront along the way.

All aboard!

Jumpshots outside Deakin University

After frolicking around the waterfront for a while, we hit the road again and arrived at GOR in about an hour's time.

the weather was slightly wet - hence we spotted a rainbow! the first of many to come :)

We had a lunch stopover before continuing our way on the road. Had originally wanted to try this cafe called Bottle of Milk but unfortunately it was closed for renovations when we were there! :( Being the hungry travelers we were we just ducked into a decent looking cafe to get out of the rain and fill our rumbling stomachs.

So sorry I forgot to take down the name of the cafe Found it! The place was called Kafe Kaos :) the food was decently good although the choices are quite limited.

braised pork belly burger - my fav of the lot

steak sandwich

lentils soup had a moroccan feel to it and was good for a cold day

can never go wrong with plain chips!

After lunch - time to hit the road again! It's a good thing we have 3 drivers among the group of us including myself to rotate and get some needed rest when necessary. It can be quite tiring focusing on the road for an extended period of time.

gorgeous view of the sea and sky en route

Koala-spotting!

spotted ducks instead

We got off the car at a particular spot when we supposedly were able to spot koalas. However, it proved to be futile as we were walking up so we decided to get back in the car and drive right up to the top instead.

and we (or rather, Huiyu) spotted a few!

500 points to Yu for spotting so many koalas! Haha

It was quite funny cos we were driving slowly, everyone looking out the car windows to see if they could spot any koalas up in the trees. Huiyu has a damn keen eye for spotting them - she spotted the first and thereafter about 2 more of them. The spotting went like this - drive drive drive, suddenly shouts of "Stop stop stop!" in the car and then trying to all spot the koala haha. It was great fun and we spotted one really up close who was eating non-stop! The rest were like all sleeping.
