Great Ocean Road

Adelaide was brilliant. Great weather...it's almost unfair how lovely it was, considering how crap it had been previously. Did some cool things like visit the art gallery (lots of Rodin sculptures), got a $1 veggie burger at the Uni (one of my favorite parts of the day), and met an American couple from NY at the Wine Institute (sampled some good wines as well). The next day was the huge market in town and I bought sooooo much fruit and veg for $5! The hostel we stayed at was really nice as well and called Shakespeare's! Each room was named after a character from a WS play...ours was the Lorenzo Room after the dude from Merchant of Venice. The manager was really friendly as well, if not a teensy bit creepy since he kept talking about how he needs a young woman to travel with. But he was very attentive (perhaps because we were young female travellers) and the hostel was so cozy. It was sad to leave, even after just 3 nights, but the place we stayed the next night was AMAZING! It's this gorgeous old mansion with huge wood paneled rooms with Oriental rugs and beautiful light fixtures. The bext backpacker hostel I've ever seen.

So far the Great Ocean Road is good. Not spectacular, but fun since there are about five of us youngsters on the bus and we're having a good time chatting and hanging out. Tomorrow we visit the famous 12 Apostles and London Bridge. The weather's been good, sunny and clear, so hopefully it will stay that way until Melbourne, but probably not considering my luck with weather.
