the long overdue great ocean road post.
[din post this because i was waiting for more pics from the babes, but i got impatient :p]
ok lets rewind a little bit. met up with zhen and sheryl again on fri after salsa on thurs (haha, yes i'm hiong) such that we could spend a lovely afternoon together and then proceed to sleepover at their place this time b4 the great venture out to ocean road the next day ;) had a really simple but splendid time gg down to lygon for gelato and then having dinner at villa romana. the girls were freaked because the italian restaurant owners lining the streets kept approaching them full on to invite them into their restaurants. many stopped us in our tracks and refused to let us pass through even though we ignored them! we even got thrown a really tacky 'pickup' line.
'hey this is the restaurant to be in! werent you here the other time and loved it so?'
italians will always be italians. anw, after dinner we managed to do some shopping while waiting to watch the lakehouse at a nearby cinema. must say it was quite good albeit the draggy start. i particularly like the catchphrase 'how do you hold on to someone whom you've never met?'
headed back to urban central at around midnight. lodging there is really decent for $19 a night! i'd recommend it anytime. great rooms, great atmosphere. breakfast and pasta provided too. i'd want to lodge there myself. we hung out at the bar downstairs for awhile. there was a live band playing some music. of standard. we then rented some board games to entertain us through the wee hours.
saturday out at the great ocean road with the babes :)
beautiful.
magnificent.
we experienced hail! little balls of ice fell from the sky. a little biting actually. btw, this treetop walk is supposedly the best in the world (and 1 of the only 2 steel suspension treetop bridges in the world) unfortunately, it was disappointing. maybe its the wrong season.
the 12 disciples at sunset.
yeps i hope the pictures sufficed. will not narrate much about the trip apart from some random facts: i drove down the great ocean road! the view of the coast is just so scenic.
zhen drives very scarily. sheryl dear was belting up and gripping to her seat for dear life.
we intended to catch sunrise at bells beach (which is why we set off at 5am). unfortunately the skies were overcast. hence, must go back there again!
kel and josh were very thoughtful and pretty entertaining throughout the whole road trip, so thanks must go out to them. psst, my frens are very appreciative!
did i mention that sunset at the 12 aposles was awesome? zhen, sheryl.. i need the pics i took using ur cams! plus plus everything b4 the road trip!!
and so, that marked the conclusion of the days out with zhen and sheryl. i am soooo missing them.
