So I've been driving on the the left side of the road....weird!!! I said good-bye to Boone and Sarah :-(, after I picked up my rental and then I was off to the Great Ocean Road. Yes folks Laura has officially gone international. I drove from Adelaide to Port Fairy with a stop in Mt. Gambier and Port McDonnel.
It was quite beautiful...lots of vineyards, rolling hills, sheep farms with fluffy fat sheep, and large eucalyptus trees. I have to admit it felt good driving again and after a while I got used to driving on the "wrong" side. Luckily, all I had to do was drive on a highway so I didn't have to worry about driving in town getting all confused. I do have to admit that I did take a couple of wrong turns! But it was fun and I got listen to Australian radio. Lots of dance music. And I got to listen to the news...something about America in an economic crisis? I don't care. I'm on vacation.
Anyway, Port McDonnel was cool and had a petrified forrest on the beach and beautiful limestone cliffs. Mt. Gambier had a huge crater with a gorgeous blue lake...called Blue Lake. Anyway, at this point it was getting late and I had to make it to Port Fairy to get to my reservation at the hostel. I made it settled in and had dinner at a local restaurant. After that I crashed. Daylight savings time here....and tomorrow will be another full day...
