Great Ocean Road and Philip Island

Hello! I'm finally back to blog bout my super duper awesome 2 days 1 night trip. :)

DAY 1

So, on Saturday morning, we had to leave our apartment really early. Really EARLY in the morning, like at 5.40am, so that we could catch the 5.45am train cause we had to be at Monash Clayton campus by 7.15am. And I know rite, why take such an early train. Cause we didnt wanna miss the bus from Huntingdale Station or else we will have to wait another 30mins I think? LOL



I had only like 4 hours of sleep the night before okay. My eye bags was freaking bad and I looked like a zombie. Haha



Reach Monash Clayton way earlier than we were supposed to be there, and so we just hang around, wanting to find toilet in the campus, but none of the buildings were open. Then just sat there and I was telling my stupid ghost story (which I think you all don't wanna know coz its stupid now that I think back, but at that time when it happened, it was freaking creepy!!)



Then finally our mini bus arrived ;D Yes its "mini". Only can fit 24 people max. We paid for tour, with STA travel. Cost about AUD 235 for 2 days 1 night. And the rest of the people in the bus were engineering exchange students, studying in Clayton.


The minute I was on the bus, I totally died off. Into deeeeep sleeeep :) 1 and the half hours later, our bus driver woke us up, and we were at Colac town. Went down for toilet break and the bus driver told us to go "play with the swings" at the playground while he went off to buy BBQ stuffs for our dinner that nite :D



And yeapp, we did exactly like what he told us to do. HAHA

*Coolest swing ever ok. Its a combination of a see saw and a swing*
Cannot be found in Malaysia! XD

*Wheee revealing my kiddish side* :P

Got bored of it after awhile la =.=


Then bus driver came back, and we got up the bus, I went back to deep sleep :D Hehe. Then he woke us up again 1 hour later and we were at the famous Ship Wreck Coast, which is home of London bridge, and Loch and Gorge.


I dont remember which is which la. Cause everything looked the same. Rocks and oceans XD

*The broken London Bridge*

*Sampat house mate doing her 'im so cold' look*
But it was seriously freeeezing @@

*Chern, Mun*

After that, we went back up the bus and had lunch on the bus. Ham and salad roll, with apple and blackcurrant drink. Haha quite sucky lunch la. Headed over to Port Campbell town and just walked around the town and hanged around in the beach.

*Port Campbell town*

*Nice beach!*

*Saw cute dogs*
Dogs in Aussie are seriously very well trained lo. They dont jump, dont bite. They just sit still and let u touch them. Awwww <3

Then we continued our journey to The Razorback (p/s: i have no freaking idea whats that) Lol must be cause I was too sleeeepy :P











Headed down to the beach next.





We took off all our shoes and socks and just ran around in the beach. Haha who cares about getting sand everywhere. Its a once in a life time thing man!

*Went and dip my leg into the water and it was freeeeeeeeezing cold!!*
My leg was numb after this picture =.=

*JUMPSHOTS, as usual :)*

Went to another beach.
And I also forgot what beach is this. Too many places in a day. But this beach was freaking awesome. Its so beautiful!! Beautifully fake in a way. Looked like a picture from a post card lo. I stood there and just stared at the scenery and I couldn't believe my eyes. Best I've seen ever!










Up next was 12 Apostles.











Then went back up the bus, and I thought we were finally done for the day. But NOOOO. I slept for like 1 hour then the bus driver woke us up for jungle trekking. Oh my Gawd I was so freaking tired and sleepy I really wasn't in the mood for trekking. But I was forced too haihhhh...

I'm super not interested in trees lorrrr :( The tour guide told us that its a cool-tempered rain forest, which means that the temperature in that rainforest would be slightly lowered compared to the temperature outside.


And yup it was FREEZING. I was shivering and my teeth were chattering throughout the whole trekking which only took us about 30 mins. Haha cause we keep saying 'walk faster then can go back faster and eat dinner faster'. :P








Once we were done, it was finally time for us to have dinner. And we were having BBQ dinner that night! Yummmy. The driver took us to our backpackers place where we will be staying for the night.

First time staying in a backpackers place and it was way better than i expected it to be. What I imagined when the word backpackers come to my mind is, jail-like dorms with dirty bathrooms. But I was wrong!!

The place is a really really big house with rooms. And the toilets were super clean. Rooms were super clean too. My first experience in such place and I really enjoyed it. Reason is cause its so 'homely' and we get to meet other people staying in that place as well :)

*Room*

*Living Room area*

*Kitchen*

BBQ TIME
We had lots and lots of foooood!
Lamb Chops, Sausages, Patties, Pasta, Salad, Honey Chicken Wings

It was a really hearty meal. I ate till I wanted to puke LOL XD Greedy much me :P

*And of course not forgetting boooooooze :P*
2 cartons of beers. Wheeeee :D

And I got drunk that night. 2nd time since I came to Aussie. :P I was super high and drunk that I laughed till I cried. Literally tears falling down. XD And I forgot the way back to our backpackers. :P But it was a really really fun night!


After drinking and eating, we walked back to our backpackers and had to shower bla bla bla. I was so drunk that I couldn't walk up the stairs properly XD And I insisted that my friend had to talk to me all the time while I was bathing.

I said 'if I stop talking to you, pls bang open my door because most probably I'd already fainted inside' XD


After shower, felt soo soo much better. Less drunk but still high. And so we went to the guys room and had card games. LOL damn funnnnny la that night. We were making soooo much noise that someone staying in that house came knocking on our door and ask us to lower down our voice. Hehe paisehhhhhhh :P


Slept close to 2am that night and we had to wake at 7 the next morning. Lol I seriously felt and looked like a zombie the next morning lorrrr..




DAY 2


I forgot what happened in Day 2. -.- I just remembered getting up the bus, then stopping at lots of places. Going down to take pics. Then getting up again. And the whole process repeats. So I'll just post some pictures up la k :P

*Saw Koala Bears!!*
But they are always sleeping. So sien

*Stopped at some place with awesome scenery beside the road*

We boarded a ferry after that across Port Philip Bay to Mornington Peninsular.

*Cool leh!!! :P*
haha p/s: I was seasick but I still could take this shot
Shows how SS I am :P

Headed over to Philip Island and we stopped by Maru Park. We got to hand feed kangaroos okay!!! So cuteeeeeeeeee...

*My first try*
I was so freaking scared when the kangaroo came towards me hahaha
But they are really really tame laaa So cuteeeeeee ;D

WHEEEEEE :D

*And we spotted a mummy kangaroo carrying her baby in her pouch!!!*
Omg so freaking cuteeee!!!!!!!

Mun: Come eat my foooood kangaroo
Kangaroo: HMPHH no choi u :(
(See the kangaroo's lanci face)

*But I forced its head to my bowl of food eventually XD* Muahahaha evil me

*Meet Mr Donkey ;D*

Next was beach again. I have no idea why he brought us to sooo many beaches @@

But we will never get bored of doing jumpshots hahahahahaha

Dinner was next. Had pizza at some park-beach kinda place.

*PIZZZZA :D*

*Happy me with my pizza. I had 4 slices hahaahhahahaha :D*

*Some place which I forgot the name*

*Headed over to Penguin Parade next*

The penguins were only supposed to come out at about 8.30 pm so we were super early. Haha so what we did was hang around in the souvenir shops playing with all their stuffs :P

*Koala-bear wanna-be*
Hehe in case you cant see, we're wearing koala ears headband. Damn cuteee okieee:D

*Penguinnnnn * :D

Then when it was time for us to go watch the penguins, we headed over to the beach. And we had to sit there quietly in the cold just to wait for the penguins to come out. Omg no regrets man! The cutest living creature I've ever seen in my whole entire life!!!!!!!


They walk in 1 line and they will wait for each other. And they are so freaking tiny omggg..

*Blurred picture of penguins*
We weren't allowed to take pics :(

And the most amazing thing is watching penguins jump off a road curb. I swear to god its the cutest thing I've ever seen. They will go to the edge of the curb and hop off one by one. And the ones that have already hopped off, will wait for the rest. Freaking cute rite?????? :DDDDD

*Cute penguin signboard :P*

Haha after we were done with penguins, it was time for us to head home. Booo. Everyone was freaking exhausted but it was a really really fun and unforgettable 2 days 1 night trip.


2 hours plus journey home and we finally reached back the city. That night I slept at 4 am cause had to come home and bath then talk to dearie awhile cause I totally abandon him during my whole trip. Sowiee dear I was having too much fun that I forgot all bout you :(


And thank god my class the next day was like at 3 pm so I had plenty of time to sleep. Hehe
