Tuesday 25th- Day 4
It turns out that Santa Claus found us after all. But he possibly left some bigger items back home in Oklahoma. We weren't sure if Santa was going to make it or not, but he did...
Christmas morning was a little depressing. I think this is the first Christmas that I haven't been with other family (besides Alex and the boys). And we didn't have a tree or anything festive, just each other and a few small presents from Santa.
We left the motel for 10:00am check-out and headed to Port Fairy. We walked to the lighthouse and then let the boys play at the playground. After that, we began our Great Ocean Road tour. We saw all the major spots- the Grotto, Arch, London Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge, and the 12 Apostles in Port Campbell National Park.
We finished off our day in Apollo Bay. We didn't get into town until about 8:00pm and hadn't eaten dinner yet. Not much is open on Christmas Day. We found a pizza place open and then started to look for a motel. We searched nearly every motel in the town. It was a little ironic that we had just talked about "no room in the inn" the night before. We couldn't find any vacancies. I think we ended up with the last room in the town that was less than $200. And the lady was nice enough not to charge us extra for Nathan. We spent $140 for the equivalent of Motel 6... I guess that's what you get for not planning ahead! We were just thankful we didn't have to travel in the dark on the Great Ocean Road...
