There and back again (photo heavy)

 On Monday hubby and I headed off towards the Great Ocean Road area, we had accommodation at Port Campbell for three nights. We have booked this place three times, the previous times we had to cancel because of the virus situation, this time all went well.

On the way there we did some geocaching, well I did some geocaching to be correct and hubby sat in the car until we found one I couldn't reach and then he had to get out and help! I was very happy, him not so much. We arrived around 2.30ish, unpacked and hubby declared it was time for an amble, so off we went. Little did I know what I was in for.

We went down to the jetty first and watched the waves coming in

it was a little windy 

we followed the path to the coastal walk, you can see I get left behind as I stop to take photos and to look at things!

Then we found the stairs! I didn't count going up as I was trying to breathe, there were more stairs and lots of up an down, on the way back I counted the stairs and we walked 494 steps!! No wonder I slept well that night.

but the views were wonderful

and the coastline spectacular

Looking back towards the 12 Apostles site, well i think there are only 7 or 8 now as they have been eroded by the sea and the weather, but new ones will come as bits of land break away from the cliffs.

Tuesday morning I followed the track up behind where we were staying to the war memorial

the view over the town

the track became a road, looking over to where we walked yesterday (opposite headland)

The rock formations around here are amazing

further up the coast

I went down the the wharf to watch the sunset but there were to many clouds and the sun set in the wrong place for it to show over the water.

Wednesday morning was cool and overcast, I went for a walk to the local cemetery to try and find a cache, no joy there, but the afternoon had some lovely sunny times

so I went and sat on a bench and did some crochet, hubby was nearby doing a pastel painting, much to the entertainment of the people walking past.

Some people were even swimming. By the noises they made getting in the water was cold!

I took out my beautiful new spoons from the coastal market place, Mel is on instagram and repurposes the most lovely things.

Well this is out of order but a block was done this morning for the Schoolgirl Sampler

over the time away I did the yellow and brown hexies ready for the next row on the Mystery Hexie quilt

a couple more hexies have been sewn in place

Well this one is way out of order, we are back to the sunset! But it takes ages to find the photos on the phone so it is staying! 

Tonight is FNWF, you can sign up over at Cheryll's blog and join in an evening of stitching.

I had better get a move on as it is evening already.

Happy stitching.
