Holidays 2018

Headed home today and, for a change, Danny didn’t take any photos. Our flight was on time and uneventful until the aborted landing (someone else was on the runway)! That meant a 10 minute delay but other than that it was all good. The trip from the Airport home was a series of perfectly timed […]

Today’s breakfast was back at Jamaica Blue (since we’d liked it so much the first time) and then we decided to head to Glenelg for the day. We took a tram ride to Glenelg, walked the pier, visited the museum, had fish & chips for lunch and then took a walk around the waterfront. A

The start to the day in the Clare Valley Hotel included me standing on “something a bit squishy” in bare feet and realising (once I’d put my glasses on) that it was a scorpion! Pretty dead at that point and I don’t believe it was alive when I stood on it as it certainly didn’t

Today was a relaxed day just driving around the district and popping into wineries and places to eat. We’d come to the Clare Valley to see the Knappstein Enterprise Winery. Unfortunately, they’ve now been bought out and no longer produce Danny’s favourite wine or the beer he enjoyed, so we just wandered inside to have

Again, our day started with breakfast at the Novatel. The omelette was as large as the plate! Once we checked out our first stop for the day was at Henschke Wines. They are a world-renowned family winery, 150 years old, that produces some of the best reds in the country. “Hill Of Grace” 2012 Shiraz

Today started with a lovely breakfast at the resort. Can’t complain about the view, that’s for sure. We were picked up by our driver at 10am and set off for a VERY long day. John (our driver) was friendly and very knowledgeable. He is a local and knows the history. Tells a good story too.

Today’s breakfast was with Wally & Linda at Espy Bakery (Christies Beach) and then we headed back to say our farewells. Ralph & Ken re-hitched their caravans and Danny found the air defector on Ken’s car too much of an invitation to pass up. Ralph & Barb and Ken & Colleen headed off with their

We started our day with breakfast at Rogers Deli & Café. As I mentioned on Day 4, he was so lovely and opened the doors early today so we could get inside out of the cold. The ferry trip back, like our trip over, was uneventful. We headed back to the Cape Jervis Tavern &

At the beginning of the day, Danny wandered outside to take some photos of our early morning visitor as well as some of the flowers around our cabin. The main event for the day was to be the Cape Borda Lighthouse. The drive is from Kingscote to the end of the Island – over an

If you can’t tell by the title for today, it covered quite a variety of things – in fact the original title was: “Duck Lagoon, Clifford’s Honey Farm, Show & Tell, BBQ, Night photography & the NRL Grand Final” but that would take up most of the page so I had to shorten it. Three
