TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, - 40/92 - KANGAROO ISLAND TO SYDNEY

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2009 - 40/92 - KANGAROO ISLAND TO SYDNEY

This is a lazy morning with a late breakfast. We work on getting the blog up to date since we won’t have internet access until we get on the ship.

At 10:00AM Peter takes us to the ferry. It is a smooth 45 minute ride to Cape Jervis where we load the car and begin working our way to Adelaide for the 4:50PM flight to Sydney.At Delemare, a little hamlet in a vale along the coast, we stop and explore an old Uniting Church and a small Anglican Church dating from the 1840’s. We take advantage of the shady parking lot and rearrange the luggage to meet the airline’s standards and head on to Adelaide.

At McLaren Vale we find a Subway and share a great sandwich. By 3:30PM we are checked in having retuned the car and cleared security with no problem. The plane lifts off on time, 4:50PM, and we arrive in Sydney as scheduled at 7:15PM. We lost an hour and a half going back to Sydney.A $50AU cab ride gets us to our hotel, Quay West Suites. We have a one bedroom apartment with a beautiful full view of the Harbor from the Bridge to the Opera House. Since it is late and we have been on the go all day we treat ourselves to a good steak dinner and a bottle of wine in the hotel restaurant and call it a night.
