It all started out with me being invited to a cool party by my French Canadian friend Alex, which - naturellement - turned out to be a pool party... Hey! Je ne parle pas francais! What's a Dane to do, but to down her drink, strip to her underwear, close her eyes and just jump in? I really didn't have a choice - this being an Australian pool party, I would have ended up in that pool with all my clothes on, if I hadn't. I'm sure I did the right thing! Well, no-one complained... :>>

Too much red red wine - and a great French Canadian Shepherd's Pie - later; I was trekking back to Melbourne central and my bed. But alas! The boys in the room next door were having a party all night, so the 5 hours sleep I had planned for were lost to the bad sound of West Coast Hip Hop filtering through the open window.
:**:

But bright and early Monday morning I was chirping! Chirping with a fairly coarse voice: "Let me go back to bed, pleeeeaaaaassssseeeeee!" )-o
No luck though. The bus was to pick us up at 7.15am and there was really no way I could have missed it. It was going to take us down The Great Ocean Road.
First stop was Bell's Beach. Legendary to all surfers as probably the best strip of surf in the world. Legendary to the rest of us as the second most fly infested spot in the planet! Although at the time it seemed like the most infested. 10am and freezing cold about 40 odd surfers were sitting in the calm water hoping for a wave. None seemed to come. Poor bastards...
Tea and biscuits were meant to prepare us for the rollercoaster ride that is the Great Ocean Road. It almost worked, but I was pretty happy for the stops on the way - OH! My poor head! Looking at the wild koalas I so wished I could do like them: Eat eucalyptus leaves for 4 hours, get stoned and sleep for 20 hours - and repeat... Lazy buggers!
All in all it was a great day, with many cool spots, including of course The 12 Apostles (THE most fly infested spot in the universe!!!!!!) and Loch Ard Gorge. I'll post the pictures as soon as they come off the roll.

OH! I almost forgot! To those of you who have read my post Summer Ill...: We drove past the house that Mad Max and his family lived in at the start of the movie and apparently it's now worth $4million!!!!!! What?!?!?! It's a beach shack!
