128 - ON THE ROAD XIII

Sometimes, you read this things that made sense in your head and you actually think you understand them, until something happens, someone you love like a brother gets sick and, in your heart, you know that we are really just passing through, that life really happens while you make plans for other things. 

I have my ticket for London for december, I have a room waiting for me and I know a few people in the city. I'm scared of the cliff but I'm going to jump, he's been teaching me that, jump, don't worry about the landing, it's going to happen anyway, one way or another, so, why worry? just give it your all while in flying.

Looking for the Erskine Falls (2014)

127 - ON THE ROAD XII

I'm late at posting a lot of things that I wanted to post, life around here has taken a turn for the strange and I feel a bit not-focused, my everything is all around. 

I've opened a tumblr account (HERE) to spruce things a bit, and I've also changed the layout here, something with which I'm never quite satisfied. 

Great Ocean Road (2014)

126 - ON THE ROAD XI

Great Ocean Road (still..)

Between Lorne and Apollo Bay, we decided to stop at every creek, fall and lookout and enjoy the days slowly. If i remember correctly, and I might not, to be honest, I think it was after we had the bird scare. We stopped to buy some wine because Australia day was near and after that we were looking for a free campsite we've heard about, so, in a town at 15 k/h a bird decided to go directly for our car and crashed in our windscreen. I like driving (even if I think I'm pants at it) and I like a lot doing road trips, but, my god, we were shaking and hyper when we finally camped for the night. 

Have you ever had a scare while driving? 

125 - ON THE ROAD X

Coast Life (at this point, names just slipped past us, wait!.. Lorne, it's the jetty of Lorne)

Today the sky in here is just like the sky in this pictures, and I actually love love love days like because despite the headaches they give me, the light is just so lovely! 

Do you have barometric headaches too? I don't think I'm the only one...

123 - ON THE ROAD IX

Breakfast on a van (or how I became addicted to peanut butter)

I've been posting pictures of Australia non-stop; I still have a few rolls to go, but now that I have the rolls from this summer already developed and in my hands, I'll be mixing them with a few other places that I managed to visit these past few months. I miss traveling.

122 - ON THE ROAD VIII

Split Point Lighthouse and Eagle Rock in the Aireys Inlet

The coast along the Great Ocean Road was, and still is, called, the shipwreck coast for quite a few good reasons, unpredicted reefs, sea stags, strong currents and strong winds (a perpetual thing in Australia, that wind) made the passage to Victoria and Melbourne quite dangerous. That's why you can also find a few lighthouses along the way. And they are gorgeous. The more famous of them all is in Cape Otway, but the fee to even enter the grounds was a bit in the steep side, so we lucked out in finding this one. There's something almost romantic in them, maybe the loneliness that it implies or the hope that it must have represented for the travelers after months at sea. 

115 - ON THE ROAD I

I'm, mostly, a city person, so I wasn't exactly sure I could do something like 3 weeks on the road, where, apart from the lines of the road, nothing is exactly assured; showers, food, sleep are always an improv, but, as it happens I loved it. 

This were on the easy part that my friend and I did, through the Great Ocean Road, touristy as heck, but oh, so gorgeous a place…
