day five - Port Campbell to Apollo Bay

Yep, raining again. Didn't travel a huge distance today but saw lots and had a good day. There were a couple of highlights. Being the being the begining of the Great Ocean Road, we ran in to the 12 Apostles...what is left of them. And running was also what we did as it was really wet and windy. Nice to see but not what you get on the post cards...here is our version.

The other highlight was the detour we took off the coast in to the Otway National Park to experience the Otway Fly which is a private enterprise consisting of a series of metal paths set up through a 'rain forest'. It was fun. I was really proud of Nicholas because he climed tot he top of the 45m tower which had an external spiral staircase. I couldn't do it which was a shame. We were really excited about going to Apollo Bay, being N's middle name but it was raining and we ended up with pretty ordinary accomodation. Still it had a spa batch so we filled it with bubbles and poured a glass of wine and all was great.
