Today was our last day at the vineyard. We had a nice last meal with the family last night – a juicy lamb roast. Today we packed up our things and Rob brought us into Adelaide.

On the way we noticed a downhill mountain bike competition and decided to check it out. We watched racers going down hill with pretty sick speeds, taking jumps, bouncing off rocks, and occasionally wiping out. Apparently this sport is getting pretty big in this region expecially. The best pros from Australia were at the event.

After watching for a couple hours we headed into town and got some food with Rob before he dropped us off at our city backpacker. Tomorrow we get up around 5:30 to catch an early ferry to Kangaroo Island.

Kangaroo Island looks awesome! We want lots of animal and plant and scenery pics from there. And details.

How far was the vineyard from Adelaide? You probably said once but I forget.

This is a historic moment. The Lions are leading 37-0. That’s probably never happened before.

The vineyard was about a 30 minute drive from Adelaide. Go Lions!
