On Friday, it hit 108 degrees in Melbourne. I'm not sure I've ever even been in 108 degree weather before. It was hideously hot, the kind of hot where the breeze provides no relief and is almost more oppressive than still air. There's really nothing that can be accomplished at that temperature that doesn't involve water, so we rented a car and drove the hour and a half down the coast to Torquay. If you remember from my last post about our visit, Torquay is a surf town and the official start of the Great Ocean Road. There are a few beaches to choose from, including one of the most famous surf beaches in the world, Bell's Beach. We decided on Jan Juc Beach, which is just down the road from Bell's Beach, but a bit better for swimming. Needless to say, it was packed. The water was warmer than the last time we visited, and the waves were bigger. We spent most of the time in the water, as fifteen or so minutes in the sun was enough to almost literally melt. Despite multiple sunscreen applications, we all got pretty burned, but had a blast wave jumping.
