Saturday started off slow, with toast for breakfast, packing, hugging Sammy, and setting off on the road. Beautiful bright skies, streaming sunlight, it was a perfect day to set off on the Great Ocean Road. We passed through Geelong, to Lorne and Apollo Bay where we had genuine hot off the pan Fish and Chips. On the road there was a little trek to a refreshing waterfall and we stopped by several lookouts to see the ocean and cliffs. It was a winding journey through the mountains and 6 hours before we reached the twelve Apostles. The view was so stunning. Waves crashing against the rocks, the formations tall and twisted against the backdrop of a setting sun. The trip was absolutely worth it just to see that. We even got mistaken for a newly wed couple and you can picture our look of horror, pause and spluttering of 'wait 30 years!'
Retiring to a hotel that is an old fashioned country style converted farmhouse. Service was superb with a home cook meal and pie for dessert. Lovely chat with the owner before going off and exploring the heated pool. It's even in a barn! A lovely end.
Morning went looking at the silky chickens, a massive pig, a goat who didn't like us very much and an adorable horse who was so friendly. We look an alternative route home, first visiting Loch Ard Gorge where we could see bays and go down to a beach. The water was so cold and I nearly lost my shoe! Nath went diving after it but it washed back up with the waves, lucky. Had lunch at Port Campbell, then went up and along the highway surrounded by rolling hills and farmhouses and plenty of sheep. Came back to Sammy, went to dinner and had sashimi. Loving roadtrips!

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
