wednesday, december 20th

wednesday was the only day the weather really started to annoy me! i didn't mind having no sun while walking in woods or being in albany, but gosh, esperance was supposed to be a beach experience!!!
we went on a boat trip to woody island and watched the amazing sea-life there (seals & sea lions) and in the afternoon we drove along the so called "great ocean drive", a 36km loop with stunning lookouts and great beaches. since it was (too) cold (to lie on the beach), windy and even drizzling from time to time we only stopped to have some pictures. amazingly, the beaches still looked beautiful, the water was turquoise and clear. couldn’t stop imagining how gorgeous it must be when the sun is out though...

as the great ocean drive didn’t take as long as we though it would, we had some extra time before dinner so i went for a run (while vicky had a nap). went out with vicky’s friend tegan and two of her friends (who happened to be in esperance at the same time), ate in a pub and had a nice girlie night at tegan’s camping ground playing cards, drinking wine & eating raisins (!?) :)
