The Great Ocean Road

Currently in a tourist van on the way back to Melbourne after a day driving down the Great Ocean Road.  Last night at the squat in Essendon everyone made fun of me for joining a tourist group, but as I don't drive and there was noone with a car to drive me, it really was my only option.  As far as tourist trips goes, this wasn't bad at all: we stopped at Bells Beach (was I ever disappointed to discover that the final scene in Point Break was only pretending to be Bells Beach but was really shot in Oregan), did a little nature walk through some rainforest, stopped to see koalas, then went to see the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard  gorge, and London Bridge.

Now my touristy crap is done for the day and I can't wait to get back into Melbourne.  I think I'm finally over the awful jetlag, and I don't have any plans tomorrow, which means I can actually party tonight.  I had a blast yesterday in Essendon, was the first real, functional squat I've ever seen and it was pretty rad.  Totally have a boner for one of the dudes there too, the cute guy from New Zealand I met at a party on Saturday, hmmmmm.  Wonder what tonight will bring :D Tomorrow he and I and D are running around the sewers all day apparently, ninja turtle eyewear and all.  This should be hilarious.  We were going to do it yesterday but it started to pour rain, and obv the sewers wouldn't be a smart idea in the rain.  the grampians tour, then Thursday I'm flying over to the west coast to see Lisa, whom I haven't seen in about 8 or 9 years!  That's exciting.  Might also meet up with M, a dude I went to high school with.  Cause you know, it's totally normal to see someone from high school for the first time in 13 years down here in Australia.
