The van is called Doris. Its now fully loaded (courtesy of K-mart) and we are in the middle of a camping trip to the Fleurieu Peninsula. Last night we were at Rapid Bay, at a no frills campsite that was basically on the beach; and tonight we are at Victor Harbor, in a fancier campsite with hot water, showers, wifi and loads of other stuff. We are mostly surrounded by families and and old people, we have yet to meet any other backpackers. Apparently they all head to Alice Springs around this time of year.
Australians are so cute in the 'winter'. Today they were walking around in coats and scarves while Barbara and I were sat on a terrace in the sunshine probably getting sunburn. We went looking for Whales today from the top of the Bluff (Rosetta Head) but couldnt see any. We did get a great view of the bay and Granite Island though, there might be some pictures on fb at some point. We also had our first Aussie BBQ, consisting of chicken and an alarming amount of vegetables.
It sounds just perfect :) how hot was it?
ReplyDeleteIt was really warm in the sun, but when you get in the shade the wind is a bit nippy. After sunset its pretty cold.
