Målin - Day 10 (15.3.)

Today we started our trip to the Great Ocean Road. 

I stood up at 6.30 am and I went to school with my host dad by car.

We met at 8.45 am at the Keilor Campus. At 9 o'clock we hit the road by bus. 

I was very excited for the long bus tour and the excursions.

First we visited the Great Ocean Road entrance sign and we took a lot of photos.

After that we had a short break to eat and to go to the beach. Again we took a lot of photos.

The next stop was at a waterfall and we had to walk downhill because the bus wasn't allowed to drive on this road. Lynn and Yasmin were taken by the car of Mr Atkinson because they were in pain and on the way back almost everyone could go back by car. 

We were able to go on the stones and rocks around the waterfalls. But the waterfalls weren't very wet because in the last few months the weather was very dry.

Sometimes we could see free-living koalas next to the road and stopped to take photos of them. Everybody was very excited about seeing koalas but after the second time of seeing them it became boring except for Mrs. Otten! 

Later we went to the Cape Otway Lighthouse and climbed upstairs to go out and take photos of the wonderful view. It was so windy outside that the people who wear glasses had to take them off. 

Finally we arrived the hostel and had to move into our rooms. All of the 12 girls had to sleep in one room! The boys were split  up into two rooms of six and seven people.

For dinner we had sausages, steaks, some salads and bread. That was similar to a barbecue which is called 'Barbie' in Australia. The dessert was different kinds of cake.

You can check out the website on Facebook of our hostel 'Port Campbell Hostel' because they took some pictures as well and put them on their page. They even used our hashtag #bremengoesmelbourne2K16!

I also learned that sweets are called 'Lollies' here. 

Tonight we went to the beach which was near the Hostel and watched the stars.

Tomorrow we will drive on and I'm looking forward to the next days of the Great Ocean Road!
