Top Deck Tour: Day 1


Brooke, her friend Fallon, and I booked a trip with Top Deck from Adelaide to Melbourne on the Great Ocean Road.  The tour started today, May 5th, at 6:15 am.  That is early, and even earlier when you had gone out to the bars the night before.  Fallon and Brooke didn't get back to the hotel until 4 am, so had only an hour or so of sleep.  I was lucky and had more sleep but did not feel too hot on the morning either.  Luckily, the bus driver is super nice and chill and just joked around about us being hung over.


So the first day has the most driving (nap time).  We drove for about 2 hours to the border of South Australia and Victoria. Fun fact: I am not sure what the actual story is, but I guess there have been disputes on where the border should be and South Australia lost land because of it. 

Next, we drove some more and did a bush walk.  We walked up to a great view point.  


We then drove more and did another walk down to McKenzie Falls.  We walked down a lot of steps and then had to walk back up…my booty was sooorrreee.  But the gorgeous waterfall was worth it.  


Then we went to a lookout point for sunset…another great sunset.  


Finally the day ended at a hotel with a good BBQ.  Long day, and now finally some rest!!
