The 12 that are only 9

Showering can be so nice. A 1x1 meter shower cabin and the shower curtain has no chance of sticking to your butt. No time limit (we had that at the last two places, once 3 minutes and once 5 minutes) just let the warm water run over you. Great.

Today was one of those days where we had to leave the campsite at 10:00 am. We're heading towards the Great Ocean Road.

The first 70 kilometers straight ahead,

sometimes up, sometimes down

past huge pastures with cattle and sheep.

The animals are happy here. Plenty of space to move around and plenty of green grass. I wonder if there is factory farming in Australia too? My internet research has shown - yes, there is. It's hard to imagine when you see these huge pastures.

In any case, the road wasn't very busy, we only encountered 4 cars during that time. However, the roads were once again adventurous. Poor sleeping Carsten beside me, with all the bumps and potholes. In Warrnambool (the start of the Great Ocean Road) we actually wanted to stay overnight, but after a brief discussion on the beach, we decided to continue to Port Campbell.

We wanted to see the twelve apostles

at sunset.

Human, it's been a while since I provided any facts:

The twelve apostles are the most photographed attraction in Australia after Ayers Rock and are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are limestone rocks standing in the water, up to 65 meters high. Originally, the rock formation was called "Muttonbird Island", the renaming is assumed to have happened in the 1950s. However, the reason for 12 apostles is unknown. There have always been only 9 of them, and today there are only eight left.

After securing the campsite, similar to reserving a deck chair by the pool, just not with a towel but with a camping table and camping chairs, we watched the sunset with a hundred others. The sun made it exciting and hid behind clouds for a long time. Just before the end, it finally showed itself, but not strong enough to make the apostles shine.

Nevertheless, it was a great moment.
