After a weekend of much laughter with Ros and Pete, good wine and great appreciation of the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula we caught the 11.00 o'clock car ferry this morning, from Queenscliff over to Sorrento Pier on the Mornington Peninsula.
We hadn't realised before today that the Spirit of Tasmania sails this close to the peninsula on its way back to Melbourne Port.
Heading into Sorrento Pier the surroundings looked very "North Shore".
We drove straight off the car ferry (after a very smooth 45min. trip) and headed over to Sorrento Back Beach - facing out to wild old Bass Strait (but looking very mild today).
We had lunch at Itali.Co on the esplanade at Sorrento and enjoyed wood fired pizza, calzone and linguini - and a fair portion of Italian attitude too from some of the wait staff...... still, when in Rome!!!
We drove around the bay then, heading NE to Mount Martha, through Blairgowrie, Rye Rosebud and Dromana. All these beaches are popular summer holiday haunts for Melbournites. We stopped at Rosebud and checked out the distinctive waterfront area and pier............
We made it to our Airbnb at Mount Martha by 3.00pm and spent the rest of the afternoon settling in, stocking the pantry and working out a plan for tomorrow. Our accommodation is clean and comfortable but suffers in comparison to our luxurious accommodation at Highton with Ros and Pete. Oh well, when in Rome .............
