Walking the Great Ocean Walk | Blanket Bay to Cape Otway | Vlog 3

On the Great Ocean Walk, it was day three—Cape Otway day! We woke up with sore bodies, clearly not used to this much physical exercise anymore. Today, we could really feel it. The walk, however, was beautiful, and everyone we met yesterday admitted they were struggling too. Those backpacks we carried didn’t help either. They’re still heavy, though getting lighter as our food supply goes down. Our shoulders might not have been happy, but that’s part of the adventure. It will take a few more days before they’re at the perfect weight for walking—but we love the journey, and the backpacks are just part of it.

We had breakfast in the tent before looking at today’s 11 km distance. It was an exciting day ahead, as we were walking towards Cape Otway—one of the highlights I’d been looking forward to seeing for a long time. By the time we got out of the tent, everyone else had already left. The real hikers usually head out early in the morning, but we slept a little longer. There was plenty of time to walk, and we’re here on holiday after all. No need to rush 🙂

The walk itself was perfect, following the ocean and winding into the bush. Occasionally, we reached a beach where we could drop our heavy packs and just relax for a bit. When we finally reached Cape Otway, we ran into our friends again. Instead of visiting the Cape today, we decided to save it for tomorrow morning and spent the evening together instead. We cooked, laughed, and enjoyed another great night. Having no phone connection made it even better—it forces you to be present and enjoy the moment. We ended the day playing games until dark. See you tomorrow, and thank you for following along!
