On the way to the Great Ocean Walk
I’m on the bus to Apollo Bay from where I will walk the Great Ocean Walk for the next 8 days.
The second part of my week in Melbourne was quite nice, I went to see the impressive National Gallery of Victoria, I went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground with my mate Frank to see AFL Hawthorn vs Cats, and I also organised a new phone and switched from Optus to Telstra, following constant call drops and data connection issues. With the new phone and better network I can now go online with my MacBook anytime using the data connection of my phone which is very nice. I also talked to some recruiters who had contacted me. Melbourne is such a great place, I can imagine living there, but I want to see some more of the country first.
After a great week in Melbourne I took the train to Geelong on Friday and spent the week with Frank and his awesome family. I organised food supplies for the walk and on Friday we went to a royal wedding party which was actually a lot of fun, people were great.
In Apollo Bay I will have lunch and then walk the first part. At the moment it is a bit rainy but nothing too bad. The weather forecast looked promising. I’m really looking forward to seeing wild koalas.
