Though quite late now, I still want to post up these photos. Just been really busy with lots of errands but better late than never right?

 

Well, for New Years Eve, I went up to Aireys Inlet with my friend Markus and Nick to stay over at one of Markus' mothers houses up there. Rather than staying home or in city for fireworks, I wanted to get away, something different, and relax.

We were at Footscray when we found out that Markus took down the wrong timetable, so we had missed out last bus from Geelong to Aireys Inlet, but was told there was one more late at night.

So we got up to Geelong and thought we would bum around a little bit while we wait only to double check and find out that the person on the phone had mixed up the dates and the late night bus was only on Fridays... Not Thursdays...

 

Well, in the end, we took the taxi; at least we made it.

 


Well, here are some photos that I took while on the little trip.

 

On the first day, we cruised around mainly to know the area a little more, and wait for new years.

For the second, we walked along the beach shore of Aireys Inlet.

Obviously, none of these locations are really how they look like, or at least I hope I was able to make them look like something else.

One I liked was Homer's Rock.

Both Markus and I wanted to swim but I always felt it was a little cold. But we decided to swim on the third and final day. I was still reluctant as there was still a cool breeze around, but Markus was determined.

As we got closer to the beach, Markus started to have doubts.

I was already in swim shorts, so I took off my shirt, and ran straght in laughing at markus on his uneasiness of the cool wind.

Overall, great swim, great waves, and although I was eaten by the waves a few times, it was somewhat relaxing and refreshing.

 

On the way back, we found a whole road filled with ant burrows across the sides, and also a blue tongue lizard which was possibly trying to cross the street. I simply went over, picked it up, and brought it over to the other side.

I should have taken a photo of it while it was in my hand!!!

Nice set of pictures you've got, I'm a bit worried I don't seem to get the idea behind what's that on the snake's head on your last photo, is that its tail?

Thanks; I enjoyed the small vacation and the sight seeing.

That's actually a lizard which had a length approximately wrist to elbow, and maybe a bit more. So it was quite big and because it was in the middle of the road (where we walked the road wasn't paved), I picked it up to put it somewhere safer.

I still wish I took a photo of it while I was holding it.
