Finally, The Great Ocean Road!
We finally hit the Great Ocean Road proper today. It's the winding twisting part road that leads us along some really great views of the ocean. Unfortunately. Today was yet another cloudy day. If the skies cleared up, the views would be so much much more spectacular. Still no photo opportunity.
We travel along and stop at the highest point to grab whatever photos we could.
We get to the end of the Great Ocean Road in Lorne and there's a memorial arch right there. It's been burnt and rebuilt several times. Apparently, the Great Ocean Road was built by war vets in order to provide them with a job.
Next we get a break in Lorne, I just wanted to have some tea, so we kinda hung around the cafe. Lorne is an expensive little town. Homes are upwards of AUD 400k here.
How about this for 400k?
Anyway I tried to order English Breakfast Tea, but they did not have any and the waiter agreed with me that Earl Grey was an acquired taste. He recommended Irish Breakfast which I tried. It's really good tea. Extremely similar to English Breakfast ( I couldn't really tell you the difference) and the most important part was it's not Earl Grey. I thanked the waiter for the recommendation, one good turn deserves another, does it not?
