![]() My boss was supposed to go on travel to Adelaide to support a multi-nation reaserch program between USA, Canada, UK, and Australia. Unfortunately he injured one of his knees and couldn't go on the trip. I was lucky enough to take his place, and spend just over a week in Adelaide. I managed to get in a couple days of sightseeing around my work schedule. ![]() Just in case... ![]() A view of downtown Adelaide out the window of the airplane flying into the Adelaide Airport. ![]() Sunday afternoon after checking into the hotel, we rode the trolly from downtown Adelaide to a town called Glenelg on the beach about a half hour away. This is a shot of the coast from the end of the pier. ![]() On Wednesday I took a drive with two other people down to Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula. We took a little walk along the coastline before reaching Victor Harbor. ![]() At Victor Harbor we walked out onto Granite Island on the causeway. A trolly being pulled by a horse was heading back across as we reached the island. ![]() A view of Victor Harbor from Granite Island. ![]() On Thursday, Dan and I drove to Cape Jervis and took the car to Kangaroo Island on the ferry. On the way to Kangaroo Island... ![]() We narrowly escaped being attacked by ferocious killer penguins... ![]() Our first stop on Kangaroo Island was at Seal Bay where a colony of about 600 Australian Sea Lions live. We took a tour down on the beach and got to get fairly close to the seals. ![]() A couple seals playing in the water. ![]() Some seals playing, and some sleeping. ![]() A young seal asleep on the beach. ![]() After leaving Seal Bay, we stopped at Kelly Hill Caves and took a tour of one of the caves. This was an interesting stalagtight that had started growing up... ![]() Dan and I inside the cave. ![]() View of the South-West coast of Kangaroo Island in the Flinders Chase National Park. ![]() The Remarkable Rocks. We didn't think they were all that remarkable, but I guess they were a bit out of place and fun to play on. If only I had my climbing shoes with me... ![]() Dan sitting against one of the rocks. ![]() I had some fun climbing around on the rocks. ![]() On the way back to catch the ferry, we made one last stop to hike up Prospect Hill to get a view of the surrounding area. |
