A scenic one hour trip around the bay of Melbourne, we reach Sorrento & Portsea. Sorrento sits on the bayside of Melbourne where you can actually see the skyline of the city miles away which almost feels like a hallucination and i expect you’d have to see it to understand what i mean!

We have fish & chips looking out onto the water and the moored boats which is picturess and you can see why this is the choice of many a Melbournian to spend their weekends & holidays.

But it’s when we venture over the other side of the land onto to the coast-side that I actually yelp at the view!  Don’t get me wrong I love the bay, but i’m all about Aussie waves and coastline so when we hop out of the car on the coastal beach of Portsea I realise no bay or river will even come close. I guess that’s why Sydneysiders are so snobby when it comes to our beaches. But i have to admit this coast like is just as beautiful as any NSW beach and I make a mental note to spend the entire summer here!  Looking even further down the coast and we see huge rocks protruding through the water and I immediately think of the 12 Apostles and i even ask the dumb question as to whether its them.

It’s not.

Looking up the coast..

It’s been raining all day but the heavens clear as we’re overlooking the Tasman and even a rainbow appears which i think was just overkill! 😉
