Kangaroo Island* was incredible!! Our tour** guide was Rico, he had dreads and could smoke more then a chimney! We drove to the ferry and rode the ferry over. First we went to Kingscote. We went to the bay and the water was refreshing but warm. Next we went to see the sea lions. It was too hot for my feet on the beach so I stayed on the deck area but I could still see them just not as close. Now before you judge me for being a wimp on the sand it was 55 Celsius that is 131 Fahrenheit!! Next we went kayaking and swam in the ocean. The ocean was sooo cold but it felt incredible on such a hot day. I loved going under and just feeling cold. It was as refreshing as a big glass of iced tea. We went on a koala walk and saw so many of the cute critters!! Finally we went to the hostel which was on a farm. It was so hot in the dorm room I just lied awake most of the night.
Next morning came early! We went to the Remarkable Rocks and they truly were remarkable! The rocks all looked like modern pieces of art but the granite was formed by nature. Afterwards it was time for Admiral's Arch. There was a lighthouse that I found very pretty! We saw seals sun baking, a mom calling to her pup, and two fighting. Next it was time for lunch which was fantastic because I was starving! The next beach we went to was my favourite. I had no idea sand could be so white. Then we went to a sand dune to sled/sand-board. The sand was blowing everywhere! It felt like you were getting pelted by tiny bullets! I boarded down once. It was so much fun! I got sand everywhere though: in my mouth, eyes, ears, and every other inch of me! It took 3 showers to get all the sand out of my hair. We went to prospect hill to look out over KI before heading to the Ferry to go back home. There was a two hour delay from an unexpected storm. They weren't sure we could get off the island that night but thankfully we did! On the ferry home I got up to get hot chocolate and I didn't have my sea legs so I looked like a drunken sailor. It was so bad that the guy who served me offered to take my drink back to my seat for me. I, being the stubborn person I am decided I could handle it. I barely made it back without dropping it but I made it; as my favourite teacher always said "close only counts in horseshoes and grenades!"
*Kangaroo Island is a must if you are in Adelaide!
**The tour I took was through Groovy Grape
