Gateway Motor Inn Warrnambool

... physio as a girlfriend has its advantages and as this poms pains began to ease we watched the Aussies suffer at the hands of Freddie & Jimmy Anderson whilst we read the morning papers before setting of for a relaxing yet 'hobbling' lunch at Proudfoots Boathouse Restaurant. This is a simple yet very well presented bar & restaurant with magnificent views. Two flake & chips were the order and they were simply fantastic. It would be a good place to live ...

... First they told us the story of the Loch Ard ship which was sailing from England to Melbourne in 1878 full of emigrants. It sank of the coast near Warrnambool and only two people managed to get ashore alive. To finish the tour they had this cool 3d laser show thingy, pictures weren't allowed unfortunately. To top it all off we did get to see our first live Kangaroo. There is quite a lot of roadkill here so theres no shortage of dead Kangaroos, Koala Bears, Wallabies etc.

... made the journey to Port Cambell even more special. Here we stayed at a really sweet little guest house where the owner, Mark, treated us to a meal and lots of wine with his two friends, son Darcy and dog Gia. They were all very hospitable and the tipsy sailing yarns made us all giggle. However we weren't allowed to leave the following day until we promised to be Western Bulldogs fans - some Aussie rules team apparently! We extended our ...

... de dragoste asa de interesanta si cazul a fost relatat pe larg in ziarele anglo-saxone (romantsat la maxim) ducand la o fenomenala revarsare de suport din partea publicului. In sfarsit insa, dat fiind ca viata nu este ca la Hollywood, cei noi nu s-au casatorit, dupa cum se astepta publicul larg. Tanarul marinar a devenit intr-adevar, dupa un timp, capitan de vas iar fata a plecat inapoi in Irlanda natala si cei doi nu s-au mai re-vazut vreodata... spre marea ...

Wow, only a couple of days left till we head off on our big trip. I can't believe how quickly it has come around. The documents have arrived - and this tour is actually going ahead, so no last minute cancellations- the packing has begun and the excitment is really starting to kick in now. Here's a run down of where we're going ...

The weather has been very hot lately, it's breaking records as the hottest March in 15 years. Last week the temperature reached 40 degrees (and 29 degrees inside our house!) At the weekend Albert Park hosted the Grand Prix just a few kilometres down the road. We were tempted to have a look, but as there were 108,000 spectators and it was 38 degrees, we decided to watch the event on telly with the airco on instead. Erik is enjoying his work ...

... undercarriage! After checking out the Foreshore Promenade we rode back to the car, made ourselves some lunch - vegemite sandwiches, naturally! - then sat on the hill eating & planning our next move for the day. We officially hit the GOR, and our main aim for the day was to reach Apollo Bay. Despite being only 165km, it was along really windy roads & was going to take a fair bit of time. Add to that all the exciting stops along the way, and we ...

... anywhere along the Great Ocean Road, and the whole way down we'd been praying to have some sun with which to really appreciate them.<br><br>Miraculously, for the last hour of the day, and ...

... hot exhaust does equal steamage. I was too tired and shivering cold to think clearly so decided to leave it, let it dry out overnight and check it in the morning. We soon scored a cheap motel and had the heater going flat out. Then it was time for a meander... ...where we found ourselves in a comfy cosy bar with a roaring fire, a great atmosphere and a cold Coopers. Day one of the motorcycle adventures, we're on our way..
