Glenn's Journals 12-04-02 South Australia
Wednesday morning and Julie had left before we awoke so we didn't get a chance to say goodbye. We had breakfast and packed our things before heading out for the day. Andrew had invited us for a barbeque tonight, including accommodation, and we were more than welcome to arrive any time after 1:00 pm. This morning we made a few phone calls about car insurance before leaving Julie's. We headed into town where we stopped into an STA travel office to check on ideas for Fiji. They provided us with some pamphlets about Fiji and accommodations but the price was higher than I could get over the internet. After the travel agent we walked around Rindle Street (shopping district) where we window shopped before stopping for lunch. We left for Andrew's around 1:45 pm.
We arrived at Andrew's around 2:30 pm where we met his parents. Kylie was also there and we sat and enjoyed wonderful conversation for the rest of the afternoon. Erin and I took a few minutes to check e-mail and book our trip to Kangaroo Island for Friday afternoon. Dinner was superb including dessert, which in Australia they serve immediately after the meal. (At home we have dessert a few hours after dinner.) After dinner Andrew's parents left for a little while. The ladies decided to start a jigsaw puzzle while Andrew and I required something a little more mentally challenging, so he picked the game 20 Questions. The four of us played 20 Questions while working on the jigsaw puzzle in between our turns. We played many games and ended up staying up until well past 1:00 am. To say the least, we did not finish the jigsaw puzzle but did manage to get the border complete. Tomorrow we are off to buy the car and then on to Barossa Valley (Wine Country). |
