In Warrnambool...about to drive the Great Ocean Road

Hi there,
We arrived in Warrnambool yesterday and had a quick look around, also stopping in at scenic Port Fairy on the way- the town has many historic buildings and also a good bakery ;-)
Today Adam put the car in for a service and had to walk back, so he is feeling quite fit now. I went for a walk and swim this morning, and then a bike ride around the foreshore.
After some lunch in our busy, rather claustrophobic caravan park (it's school hols after all) we walked into town, which is where I currently am at an internet place. We had a coffee and cake (we felt we deserved the sugar hit today) and also got a few things done- including buying giner travel calm tablets ready for our 11 hour boat journey to Tassie!
We'll travel along the Great Ocean Road tomorrow, which should be good. I travelled it years ago with mum, but Adam hasn't been here before. We'll probably stop in Apollo Bay or Lorne tomorrow night, then drive to Melbourne the next day, ready to board the boat, Spirit of Tasmania on the evening of the 26th. The boat leaves at 8pm and arrives at Devonport at 7am! Hopefully we'll be able to get some sleep on board, depending on how crammed the seats are I guess.
We saw the movie, The Holiday last night and both enjoyed it. Might go to the movies again today, just to stay out of the caravan for a while longer and relax.
That's it from now- might update tomorrow, if not our next blog will be from Tasmania.
Love, E&A xx
