great ocean road 2.0

went to the GOR a 2nd time, this time w my parents. the 3rd place to go during the road trip. we stayed for 2 nights, but in different locations. 1st night was at appollo bay, 2nd night.. in a town before warrnanbool. can’t rem. :/

momsy wanted to go horseback riding and the most epic thing she said was “will there be someone holding the horse?” errrr… :/

we went to blazing saddles, had a slightly difficult time finding the place due to the off beaten track. $45 for 1.25hrs! cheap i gotta say, compared to the one in gold coast! $80 )= plus, we actually learnt how to trot.. though i gotta say IT HURT LIKE A BITCH…

pictures pictures!

haha made my name outta seaweed.. HARD WORK OK.

as usual, the views were amazing. i can’t capture it in photos.. sadly.. my fav part would def just hearing the waves crash. there’s just something so peaceful yet powerful about it. i could listen to them crash all day long and still not get bored…

found a nice lil place to stay for one night.

first road trip, so i can’t say “omfg best everrr” but it was really fun.
got to drive, sleep, look at “authentic” cows and sheep, picnic, look at gorgeous scenery…

ugly part was that i had to get up early.. at 6-ish.. but sun as shining SO bright.. i saw hot air balloons in the sky.!

cliff.dive.now.

and also i can’t be bothered to.. urgh photobucket sucks so so so much i had to create a new account so yes. :/ IM DONE WITH THIS! more photos on facebook.

and if anyone is reading this.. what’s a good photo uploader similar to photobucket? must be free pls i dont want to pay when my photos aren’t superrr good and all

some photos from the GOR

pieced these babies together.

pic 2 and 3 were the “worst” in my opinion. still really pretty though!

didn’t edit the colours because if the sky matched the sea wouldn’t and so on.
and also i realised it’s so hard to make non-moving landscape look pretty )= the waves especially! you will never get 2 identical waves at the same spot. maybe i should prac more… but first up, steel-natured landscape!
