ROOOAD TRIP

'Ello, 'Ello,

Since my last post there has been several exciting developments. Riley's knee is officially torn, but he has taken a page out of Tom Selleck's book and grown a mustache. Incidentally, when you have a mustache you are no longer prone to the effects of pain.

That being said, we are taking two adventures in two weeks. The first of which begins in two hours.

Part 1: The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is the iconic drive along the coast headed West out of Melbourne. It is home to the Twelve Apostles...



All five room mates are attending the journey and we are taking a hilarious old station wagon. I am looking forward to driving for the first time in 7 MONTHS. Chew on that for a while. Since being 16 I have driven a car almost every day. Now I get to completely relearn everything by driving on the left side of the road. Luckily the car is not manual because I am confident that I am not capable of shifting gears with my left hand. That just seems silly and unnatural. Like white men dancing.

Anyway, we are going to stay two nights at the finish line of the Great Ocean Road in some seedy hostel. It should be a great time.

I will update part 2 later because we are walking out of the internet cafe right now in order to hit the road!

Peace
