The travel agency forgot...

The travel agency forgot about our tour and we were waiting for 2 hours try to contact them. Finally, they sent over a tour guide and took us to the Great Ocean Road and missed first 3 stops on the itinerary. The Great Ocean Road views were tremendous and outrageous, but there were big gusty wind and rain on and off, so the stay at each view stop was minimal. Well, we will enjoy more if we have not missed 2 hours.
