The Great Ocean Road: Day 5

Thanks to Jetstar cancelling our flight, we had an extra day in St Kilda which we weren't expecting. Rather than trekking into Melbourne again and risk being caught fare-evading like we had done the previous day due to lack of exact change, we decided to spend the day chilling out in St Kilda.

Our first stop was breakfast at the Berkeley Cafe, which luckily was a little more successful than our last St Kilda breakfast experience. We had a typically Australian - long and laid-back - breakfast munching on fruit salad, toast and coffee whilst Dave made use of the free wi-fi and I tried, but failed due to my lack of knowledge of Australian celebrities, to complete a crossword in "Famous" magazine.

It was a lovely sunny day so we decided a walk towards Brighton Beach was in order. Once again, Sydney proved to be the far superior city, this time in terms of beachside walks - the Bondi to Bronte walk is much prettier!

By the time we arrived back in St Kilda, it was lunchtime: we decided to try a vegetarian restaurant along the seafront called Soul Mama - the views were lovely and the food was delicious. Some more 7 apples gelato finished off our lunch nicely.

Our flight was nearing so we headed back to the hostel to say our goodbyes and make our way to the airport. After a rather long detour to Tullamarine thanks to Dave's directions, we eventually arrived with a couple of hours to spare before our flight. Goodbye Great Ocean Road and back to beautiful Sydney...and only a couple of weeks before our next adventure to Perth!
