Day 14 in Australia!
THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD!! We started very early in the morning and it was a two day tour. We had the company Outback Billy’s take us on an amazing adventure.
We headed off and I was excited, but tired. The night before, I barely slept and of course, I caught a cold and a bad cough.
We hit a ton of places, such as Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, we saw kangaroos, fed parrots, koala spotting, meditated on the beach, went into Maits Rest Rainforest, Castle Cove, Teddy’s Lookout, 12 Apostles, etc. SO MANY BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING PLACES. I absolutely loved every little bit. My absolute favorite thing in the world is big surrounded by amazing people and enjoying a moment on a beach, listening to the waves crash down and going back out to sea, optional sunset or sunrise. I enjoy that serenity and peace and feeling ever so small looking out onto the vast blue water. WOW. It makes you feel like the tiniest thing on the planet, but purposeful and powerful. I love the way the ocean makes me feel and I loved that we went to several beaches.
Around 3:00PM, I was already tired, but our day was not over. We continued on our tour with several stops and sight seeing and then at the end of the night, we headed to our hostel. We grabbed pizza for lunch and went on our way.
We watched stars!! Another one of my absolute loves in the world. Sunrises, sunsets, wind blowing through trees, snow falling, raindrops, waves, stars, leaves changing colors, fresh cut grass, the smell of rain hitting warm blacktop, etc. Some of my absolute favorite things!
We saw the milky way and hundreds of stars, it was beautiful, absolutely stunning. I could have stayed there all night, but it was too cold.
Then, we headed back to our accommodations and rested.
WOW.
