My Kopitiam: The Amazing Race

The week proved to be interesting as Me and Terence the two drivers of the day make our way over to the Grampians. It was a gruelling task waking up at 5am in the morning to prepare our sandwiches, snacks and drinks but that was essential for the awesome trip up mount awesome!

Waking up at 5am in the morning was hard but starting our journey driving from 7am was hard as well!! Terence as usual, proved to be the faster of the both of us by speeding up and slowing down at the weirdest of places... (Note: Never drive behind him next time).

Now, before arriving at our destination, I was greeted by the cutest and tiniest things... SHEEP! Knowing how I loved sheep, Beatrice still didnt take a lot of photos of them for me.... I told her to pick up her camera and take photos but she just didnt care till I bothered her enough to make her do so.. and this was what I get..

(arent they cute!!!! Little balls of fur)

After hours of driving (around 3), we finally arrived at Halls Gap which was the base of the mountain (as usual, she didnt bother taking any photos). We all had lunch there in a little family owned 'coffee-shop' and mmm.. had some lovely ice-cream afterwards.

Mount Grampians being the giant that it is, proved to be too much for us to cover in a day. So what we did was only go to four places just so that we get the gist of the place.
The first place we covered was the Boroka Lookout where we could look down at the mountains. It was a really really really really really windy road up the hill as you would expect similar to going up Genting Highlands :S. It made us all really dizzy but upon arrival at the lookout, we were greeted by a spectacular view well worth the 20minute drive up the windy mountain road. It was AMAZING and I the pictures speak for themselves:

After spending about 20 minutes cam-whoring and admiring the view, we made our way back down to the base of the mountain for our second activity. CANOEING!! At first we were all very hesitant to go due to the $60 bill imposed on us but we actually found it really fun and challenging rowing through the little lake. We were brought around by our instructor Mr.T along with another family of 5 that day. We were all rowing oh so peacefully when Terence had this stupid idea for us to all go on this amazing race and thats exactly what we did!!! The loser had to treat the winner to a round of dinner but that never came to be =( because Terence refused to pay up. The race proved to us that I am still the awesomest person around. It was a fun two hour rowing but by the time it all ended, everyone was complaining of the soreness around their body and how tiring it was :D
