| Glenn at Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island, doing 'the tourist pose', as our friend Andrew termed it |
| Glenn's Journals 12-01-02 South Australia Sunday morning and Andrew and Kylie arrived to pick us up just after 10:00 am. We headed off south of Adelaide to Victor Harbor, which overlooks Encounter Bay. We took a walk along Granite Island for about an hour before stoping for lunch in town. We ate lunch while watching a slingshot carnival ride in action. We were a little disappointed though that noone let out a major scream during the ride. The day was warm, sunny (30C), and beautiful so being outdoors was perfect. Andrew has an amazing wealth of knowledge about Adelaide, its history, and the surrounding areas and we enjoyed learning all about the sites we were seeing. After lunch we hiked around the Bluff while taking in the views of the Encounter Bay and the associated coastline. We spent better than an hour enjoying the hike and the views. We also stopped at a Sunday market where I bought a Aussie hat. After the market we stopped into a few wineries where Erin and Andrew tried a few of the local wines. We bought a bottle for our host as a thank you before heading back into town. Andrew and Kylie dropped us back off at our hosts house and agreed to see us later in the week for a barbeque. We chatted with our host before heading back out for a very late (9 pm) dinner so we opted for Subway. We returned to the house where I went to sleep and Erin worked on items for the website. We plan on getting as much as we can done this week while I run around and look for a car to purchase. Erin stayed up quite late tonight, but I appreciated it. |
