Cumberland Resort Lorne

... people before us got the last tickets and therefore the tour was sold out. So that was a big bummer. We did get to walk around the "wet" cave, which was conspicuously dry, and it had some cool limestone formations - but no fossils of the giants from yesteryear. So, after a restorative cup of tea and an orange and poppy seed muffin we set off to Bool Lake which is supposed to be a haven for waterbirds and when we got there it was dry. And we're talking ...

... of fellow who enjoys going through life complaining about everything. He unloaded his family woes on me, denounced the 'younger generation' (of which I am a part), expected me to know the history of East Timor (I think that one was a little before my time...) and then asked about my troubles. I cheerfully told him that I didn't have any troubles because I am working and traveling and thoroughly enjoying it all. He seemed not at all put off by this, and proceeded to tell ...

... to keep the wind out, temperature is dropping to 5 degrees. Day 2: We walk up to the light house at Split Point in Aireys Inlet and back along the beach. It's a windy day but the sun is finally peeking through. Further up the Great Ocean Road we stop at another caravan park where we've been told that you caan see koalas. And we only need to walk a few metres before we spot the fist koala. They sit in all the trees, looking very lazy. Their brain ...

... front of him carrying her baby on her back. Said our goodbyes and off we went again stopping shortly after at Johannas Beach where the surf really was going off in a big way. You could see why some pro surf comps are held there. We were looking for a track that Josh and Fin had talked about when we tested our GPS out and drove along the Old Ocean Road only to find this wasn't the track they had talked about ...

... not take the time to go through everything, partly because it was two weeks ago, but also because the beach is calling. Next stop was Bells Beach - very famous surfer stop, made even more popular as a tourist attraction, with help from Patrick Swayze in "Point Break" and the 50 year storm (which was made up by Hollywood). Simon, our guide was pretty cool. He reminded me of a boy I used to know, so by the ...

... they really are not suited to live. The skin cancer statistics are shocking. Anne says: Hei ihanaa kun ootte Kaisa & Simon ollu täällä meidän luona - aivan ihanaa oli saada taas vieraita kyläilemään meidän luona ja jutella suomea...sekä lukea Aku Ankkaa :) Toivottavasti nähdään taas pian, seuraavan kerran Euroopan mantereella sitten. Haleja ja puseja teille molemmille sekä oikein antoisaa matkaa Aasian puolelle!

... Vaduz for lunch and a stroll around. we then cross into Switzerland stopping in Lucerne to take in the sights and shop around for a Swiss army knife. We then head further into the Alps to our campsite at the foot of Jungfrau in Lauterbraun. Having a few beers in the Bomb Shelter. September 16th: We board the cog rail and head up Jungfau mountain for a day of playing in the snow!! Taking in the views from the Sphinx, watching the Huskies, walking ...

... the softer areas having long since been eroded. The might of the waves is supposedly such that these formations are eroding at such a rate that will dramatically alter the landscape over the course of a few years ...

... possibly our last nite together period. we drank beer and snacked a bit and then came back to the house to watch SAW3, with all the lites off and candles on... while everyone in the room (mostly guys) shrieked their heads off like little sissy girls. great fun.... then Guy and I said our sad goodbyes in the morning since he had to work as usual and i'd be leaving before he got home... other than that i spent the day arranging my bags ...

... world. it remiinded me of Bear and Guy pointed out that you know you're homesick when you start really thinking about your dog!! so true.... we got his photos developped from the east coast trip he did, he actually shot film because his digi cam is messed up... it was like stepping back into the olden days... they sell film now for 3$/roll of 36.... who knew? then we did some grocery shopping, and cooked a beautiful huge meal for linner- i ate some great stuff ...
