The Great Goodbye // ThirstyInMelb #5

Before I start, I want you to be mentally prepared because this is the last post for the ThirstyInMelb series. I'm sorry guys, this has been a wonderful journey with you but all good things must come to an end.

So anyway! We decided that saving the Great Ocean Tour for our last day was a good way to end our trip; to just sit in a bus and ride along the beaches in Victoria. After all the walking we did, exploring Melbourne town, shopping in the markets, I guess we deserved to relax at the end of our trip. So we booked our trip on this website and I guess it was pretty good. Firstly, were like 20 minutes late because we were lost but they actually waited for us! But of course, we had to call them beforehand to let them know we were gonna be late... Lunch was also provided but clearly it wasn't halal so we cooked our own lunch the night before and packed it for the trip.


We were drifting in and out of consciousness throughout the tour, like from one location to the other it takes at least 30 minutes and we had to wake up really early for this so we basically just slept in the bus A LOT, not listening to the guide, which I feel bad because he was pretty nice but yeah, can't help it...


I tried to take note of the locations of each stop but honestly, the main star of the tour is probably the lighthouse and the 12 Apostles! So that's all, I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking because Mother Nature is breathtaking~~



We had to leave the house at 6am I think? And the sky was so pretty and it was pretty cold but so pretty!!!!

Write down in the comment section below if you disagree that Mother Nature is amazing, I kid. For reals though, my pictures don't do justice of how breath taking the Great Ocean Road was and to end of the day with such a sunset?? Iconic.

Gonna leave you guys with a happy thought! And by happy thought I mean Liyana's vlog, so please give it some love and watch our vlog from the trip, thank you for reading guys!
