Waterfalls, Streets & Rocks

SECOND DAY OF THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD TRIP :B :B (28th December)

The morning was kinda chilly, so we decided to warm ourselves up with a superbly nice breakfast to fill all four tummies (: And the breakfast is no other than pancakes with blueberry topping plus butter, and bacon with poached eggs and toast :D Oh yes, the food was totally awesome NOMS ♥ Wished the cousin was here to join us for bacon hunting :/ He loves bacon a lot, like SERIOUSLY A LOT :D



So after the awesome breakfast, we continued our journey around the Great Ocean Road :D Our "first" activity was to visit three waterfalls around this area, since we had already visited one the day before, so why not check out more? HEHS. But due to some reasons, we ended up only to visit two waterfalls, which is the Beauchamp Falls and the Hopetoun Falls.

Beauchamp Falls, which was categorized as Difficult, turned out to be a little disappointment. The walk towards the waterfall was okay-ish, well there's beautiful a scenery, BUT, when we reach the falls, it's like "DAMN, so not worth the freaking walk -.-" because we can't even go near the damned waterfall. Plus the walk back to the car was totally crap cause of the stupid steep slopes and steps they have there. Such disappointment lahh ._. CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT CORN-ED BY A WATERFALL! ): As for Hopetoun Falls which was categorized as Moderate, the results was some sort of better than what we got from Beauchamp Falls. Even though we can only view the falls from a distance, the trip wasn't really wasted as we got to get off the tracks at some point and onto the rocks at the stream of the waterfall. We could actually go up and close towards the waterfall, but then the brother obviously didn't allow us cause it was kinda dangerous. Damn :/ Oh wells, at least we managed to have fun there :P



After the visits to the falls, our next stops are the Twelve Apostles and the Gibson Steps. We were all kinda freezing there under the hot sun due to the strong wind. So I was like half frozen and half burnt ._. Quite the fml. While on the way to our next stops, we stopped by at the Wait-A-While Street to take some photos (: Such cute names they have for the streets in Melb :B Hahahaha (:

When we reached the Twelve Apostles, the first thing that came to both me and my sister's mind is that this place is familiar. And after a moment of thinking, the sister finally recalled that this place resembles the Grand Canyon due to the big building and the helicopter services. Oh and while we were at both places, we took photos which seemed like forever as we kept spamming with the sister's DSLR even though the camera battery is already dying. And guess what? it seriously died! :O HAHAHAHAHAHA Those times were real epic moments. :B


And finally, we were all tired and decided to head home. Had to wait till we reach back Melb City for dinner as the pizza restaurant we wanted to go in the first place wasn't open ._. So after the long 4hour journey back to the city, we straight headed to Chinatown for dumplings! And unlucky for us, we had to wait for approximately 1hour for a table. Damn. After waiting for so long, heck yeah, time for dinner! Ordered 3 sets of the Xiao Long Bao and 2 plates of dumplings. Such a super filling dinner. NOMS :B After dinner, time to go back home and K.O.



We are a bunch of happy people :D :D




Next update will be about a trip to DFO!
