Variability in the weather has ceased, now it’s just rain with occasional gusts of wind. Camping in the rain is just one of those special moments that are etched into your memory.
We have left Apollo Bay and driven to Port Fairy via the Twelve Apostles and the Loch Ard Gorge tourist destinations. The coastal scenery here is quite stunning and it attracts a lot of overseas visitors.
How can you tell there are so many tourists I hear you ask. There are two critical pointers. To begin with along the road there is a constant reminder in the form of signage that says ‘We drive on the left in Australia’. The second example is the very useful instructions on how to use the public loos.
Tonight we met an interesting couple who live in Thailand. He comes from Germany and she from Iowa, and they have a US based business. Their business generates a passive income allowing them to travel the world. These were not 9 to 5 workers nor were they ‘work from home’ employees. A one hour commute to a city based office job was so far from their lifestyle. Their story was a fascinating commentary on what a business might look like in this connected world.
The rain has settled in and we will stay in place for a couple of nights. Maybe this weather pattern will clear, as said with a hopeful tone.
Current score: 7 days on the road and 8 bakeries.

In fact these were the backup apostles. They will soon be moved to the prime apostle viewing site to ensure that if there isn’t a dozen there is at least a prime number of apostles.
