Melbourne day 3 was another long and tiring day ahead! We were heading to the Grampians! Another 5 hours drive away too! yikes!! Our itinery did not even had a timeslot for our meals! Got to pack our meals!
Woke up in the early morning to find BC cooking away! There was mushrooms, scrambled eggs and bacon. He even made such beautiful sandwiches with them. Suddenly, i felt ashamed as a woman. Haha!
All packed and ready to go in our "Lock-Lock" containers. keke!
We were suppose to head to an orchard as our first stop to pluck some fruits for our consumption! The main reason I resisted buying some fruits from vic mkt the day before. Turn out the orchard only open on sundays!! imagine the frustration! The website states that it opens everyday!!! They obviously did not update their website!
All we could do is to stare at the rows n rows of ripe apples tree infront of us but unable to reach them. The longer we see the apples, the more we felt cheated. SO we decided no matter what we should go down and take a few pics. So we stopped our car and went down to snap a few pics of us with the apples. In the end, an apple fell while BC was holding a branch. Both of us look at each other and went "opps", quickly grab the fallen apple and went into the car! hahaa! I think at that time we needed something to satisfy our cheated feeling. We were so happy! Only thing the apple was not ripe enuff! So hard! it was really sweet though! imagine how nice the ripe apples will be.
So near but untouchable!
God's gift to us! Haha!
We then head towards grampians! Took a toilet stop at some park and saw a group of aussie aunties doing taiji! decided to snap a pic of them for my mother to see!
After few more hours of navigating (for me) and driving (for him), we finally arrive 1 of the information stop at the Grampians national Park.
We decided to take our lunch break @ the picnic area before going to visitor's information counter to see which scenic spots of the national park we should visit. We finally decided that we should head for Mackenzie falls and then stop by any scenic spots while we are on the way there. We were looking for spots where we need to walk the least. If u noe by now, we are really lazy pple. keke!
I really forgot all the names... and at this hour, my brain is pretty much gone. so jus enjoy the pics.
Nice rocks.
My arse was being roasted by the hot rocks to take this pic... HAHA!
The mackenzie falls pics are next. This was suppose to be a breezy walk! I got cheated by the brochure!!! It was such a long walk to get to the fall. and it was a pretty small fall. I nearly died climbing back up. We went past a norwegian old couple. I think they were pretty amused abt how weak i was. I mean they have difficulties getting back up but I was the one taking loads of long stops to rest. The super hot weather that day made it 10x worse!! I never felt my heart beat so fast! i think i seriously lack exercise!
it didnt seem to be so far from the top..
the path still looks breezy...
After many steps and turning! We finally reach the bottom of the falls!
Got to take more pics to make the walk more worthwhile!
Taking a pee... HAHA! no la! Jus on 1 of the big rock to cross to the other side of the river or watever u call it.
"Mr Evil" was so amused about how weak I was... decided to take pics of me even though he is dying frm the climb back up too...
If i could, i will have "whack" him. But i was at the stage that nothing matters anymore.... all i wan is to be back up there......dun wanna climb anymore!!!
My reward...... I rewarded myself! haha! i felt i deserve it big time!
@ another scenic lookout. I was so tired.... i did wanna go for anymore scenic places!! jhaha!
We decided to head to another destination stated in our itinery. But we were so tired from our climb we stop our car by the roadside again and slept for an hour odd. After that, we really felt like going back to Melboune. I was starting to crave for Mekong already after the long walk! I was hoping we can make it back in time! But its another 5 hour drive back. We decided to look at the melway for an alternative route back..I glad we did... we make it back in less than 3 hours time. Weee!!
a quick snap from the car at some place before we stop for our nap.
some silly stunt we were doing to make our car ride back more passable....
we saw 2 really huge and beautiful rainbows on the way!
We made it for Mekong! We arrive ard 9 plus! wee! Absolutely famished!!! BC sae not as nice as before but I cant rem the before taste. HAha! I still think its kinda nice.
After dinner, we decided to give our favourite roulette machine 1 more chance!!
I glad we did! Cause we won 20 over bucks!! Love the sound of the coins dropping from the machine! It isnt much! But we sure gotten loads of coins after that! keke!
That's all for day 3!
N thats all for tonight...
