Melbourne Menagerie VIII: Goodbye, Mate
Once again, we checked out and loaded everything into the Tarrago. Breakfast was eggs benedict with hollondaise sauce at a nearby diner. We backtracked to the Twelve Apostles again as my bro-in-law wanted to pictures of it in better lighting conditions. After that, we stopped at London Bridge. Another product of erosion from the waves. It looks nothing like London Bridge of course, unless you down a couple of psychotropic pills. It was a nice sight anyway. Next was The Arch. It was fun looking at how the strong waves pushed a big hole into the limestone. Another breathtaking sight. Loch Ard Gorge was last on our list. It was the site of a famous shipwreck were only 2 people survived. From the way things were, it was easy to imagine how the ships were downed by the cliffs and boulders in the area.
We had to rush back to Melbourne to take our flight, so we bid the Great Ocean Road farewell and took the shorter inland road back via Colac. Colac's quite a big town and we stopped there for lunch. At Gravity Cafe, I ordered a risotto and a chai latte (spice overdose!). Sis ordered a Hummingbird to go. The Hummingbird is actually a cake and the reason why its called that is because its so bloody sweet with apricots and coconut. By the time we arrived at Geelong, it was rush hour traffic and we had quite a snarl to Melbourne. We killed time at Lygon Street. Sat at Koko Black and tried their heavenly hot chocolate and walnut brownie. I can imagine swimming in that chocolate.
Dinner was at Papa Gino's again. Hehe. This time, we ordered the seafood marinara pizza, fried scallops and fettucini saltati. As usual, mum and I ordered wine. I enjoyed the riesling. And this time, I remembered to order the tiramisu. Yummy. My bro-in-law visited Gelatisimo again and ordered one mango sorbet for the road. We arrived at the airport and returned the car with time to spare. A cute guy sat at the same row as me and The Nutter would be pleased to know that he looked a bit like Stanley Huang. Lol. It was an enjoyable trip, and as usual, all good things must come to an end. I had hoped that my mum and sis would get along, but it still ended with a sour note. Somethings you can't change. Legendary stubbornness runs in the family. Cheerio!
P.S.: Random cuteness!
