And we're back!

We had an absolutly amazing bike trip up the Great Ocean Road, and the pics are up so you can see for yourself! Some highlights/things we won't forget:

1. The flies. They were horribly annoying, and were with us whenever we climbed a hill, were near cattle, or were biking really slowly.

2. Our first glimpse of the ocean from the road - the Bay of Islands. Utterly breathtaking.

3. Getting to Port Campbell after our first day of riding - 73.10km.

4. Our first night in our new tent, and getting to put our new headlamps to good use!

5. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves.

6. Reaching Lavers Hill after a 19.1km super steep climb. We thought we'd never make it!

7. The change in scenery: farmland, coast, countryside, rainforest, more coast.

8. A 10km side trip to Johanna Beach, 10km outside Lavers Hill. Beautiful beach, and super relaxing.

9. The sandwiches we created with peanut butter: pb and apple, pb and cucumber, pb and tuna. It's amazing what you'll eat when you're on a budget!

10. Missing the 12 Apostles. Don't ask how, but we did. Then, instead of riding back, we hid our bikes in an old shed and hitch-hiked our way back to them.

11.Getting to Apollo Bay and hitting up the grocery store and buying $20 worth of fruit and vegetables. So good!!

12. Seeing our first koala bears in Kennett River.

13. Meeting a German couple who had to have been in their late 50s and are doing the same thing we are. However, they've already ridden 3000km - they came to the Great Ocean Road all the way from Perth!

All in all it was a fantastic trip, and now we're off to Tasmania (which is part of Australia, but located south - it's an island) to do some more cycling and maybe land a job!
