    Adelaide from 15-19 Sept!
    Had a tour of the best of SOUTH AUSTRALIA
    - Barrosa Valley
    - Kangaroo Island
    -City at night

    took the overland train which is like 10 hrs from melb to adelaide
    besides eating, sleeping, talking, tai ti-ing and abit of cam-whoring on the train,
    we did nothing else!
    we are poor back packers who take train to save $
    haha went with 3 friends frm unimelb, shanice,eric,samuel and me
    but sam took the bus at night to join us later

    ok here is a little confession:
    Its yours truely 1st time on a TRAIN!
    haha yes and it wasnt a bad experience.
    pretty much enjoy the view of grassland and blue skies !

    reach adelaide in the evening on sat night
    Not so fun Experiences:
    1) some cars just wind down their window and swear at us while we were walking towards the back packers inn--> strong racial discrimination
    2) some dunkards try to pick us up and scolded us
    when we totally ignore him by not answering back.
    its pretty scary as he keep following us and he sound so angry!
    lucky there is a guy with us! cnt imagine what will happen if its just both of the gals
    3) 1 word to describe Adelaide at night: gHOSTLy
    4) Few asians seen. saw blacks and sciencetology!!!!
    5) Aot as vegan friendly as melb

    what a night right?
    stayed at the shakespear backpackers inn for the night
    our dorm:

    its just $25 a night!
    they have kitchens n detached batherooms too
    cosy place to stay in!
    but apparently, some rascals broke the sercurity door at the middle of the night
    oman its sosoos unsafe there at night!

    on sun, we woke up and went to barossa valley
    South australia's top export are wine
    so we decide to visit this famous valley for its winery
    we were too early br 3weeks to see the havest of the fruits


    went 4 wineries, some sightseeing and had a 3 course lunch which had great salad bar
    the trip cost $70 full day tour!
    haha and at the end of the day, i found my fav wine!


    not too sweet, not too dry just nice!
    and we saw the biggest rocking horse in the world:

    see how big it is?
    went to this wooden toy facotory(those tourist places)
    and saw wooden minature sets!
    took some pics down for qing who is into minatures:

    mini kitchen!

    mini house
    and i m so happy to take pics of irises:


    iris+ irises =)
    it was worth the long ride to barrosa valley


    on mon morning, we went for the highlight for out trip
    kagaroo island

    its situated away from the main land
    2 hrs bus ride to the port
    50 mins ferry ride to the island
    and
    the island has no reception except for the main town
    so i was away from the world for 2 days

    but the scenic was good
    saw sealions and seals
    the difference between them is that
    sealions have 4 flips while seals only have 2!
    and we caught the sealions fighting!
    omg its like out of the geo textbook!


    shh i m sleeping~

    and as the name suggested
    we saw tame kangaroos mating, sleeping, feeding
    they are sosoos cute!
    they are officially my 3nd fav animal!

    oh and the toilets at the attraction are just dug holes with a plastic toilet bowl over it
    thats all
    because they wanna preserve the nature of the place w/o sewage system
    cnt bring in certain products such as honey too!

    other attractions include:
    little sahara

    remarkable rocks:




    lookouts,kolar walks and so on
    and i love our tour guide
    tour guide in aussie is different
    you gota know geography, history, zoology
    learn how to drive, cook, entertain, interact
    and this lady kate is sosos good!

    this tour u wont get good food
    just sandwiches, wraps like picnic style with losa salads
    gota wash your plates aft tt and so on
    it is a new experience tt i like!

    my fav part of the trip is FARMSTAY!

    at flinders chase farm
    but the sheeps are too shy to take pic with me!
    its nice to see the stars, built campfire with real woods, hold milo n talk over the fireplace
    interact with japanese, germans, aussies and hear their traveling experience

    a peek at our dorm:


    yes i m wearing 03s11 class tee to the trip!




    but its pretty sad to see this view:



    as much as it is part of the natural process to have bush fire,
    but the whole land is just gone like that
    gota wait for a few more years for it to grow again
    let kate tell you more though this video ok?


    and i never get to see playtupus while bush walking!
    so decide to take a reflection of the pond where they stay


    and the pic of the day will be CLOVER!
    i tried to find a 4 leaf one but they just too much
    haha sam was sososo into the 4 leaf clover as he never hear b4 that he keep looking for it!
    and he found one pic of it on the bed sheet and showed me """""


    i am officially in love in nature~
    so yupz!
    thats my holiday
