Seriously, I just spent like an hour writing about the next couple of days and then I try to post it and then the next page I see is, we're sorry for the inconvenience....this is prettty gay, but since i've been putting off doing another one because of this "inconvenience", i guess ill just skip onto my Adelaide trip I got back from this past Tuesday!
So everything was prepared, we were ready to go and everyone was packed up, but of course we were running late because I decided to make everyone breakfast...go ahead, typical! So we're on our way to the mall to catch a taxi and Josef had an "oh shit moment", and we're all like, "Josef doesn't have these moments" so we all said, "oh, shit"and yes, we all each other a Pepsi! Anyways, what happened was in the midst of all the craziness on the computer trying to find the cheapest plane tickets, the dates accidently got switched, this was an honest mistake and I reassured him i've done much dumber things in life and proceeded to give examples, i'm sure you guys could think of a couple yourselves! But, Tiger airways being the crap airline they are, didn;t cut us a break and give us any type of reimbursement or new plane to get on, so it was no Tasmania for us...Worse things could have happened so i was okay and Josef was kind enough to pay for the mistake. So we pondered on what to do and decided to do something instead of eat away at ourselves on what we could be doing, so to the camper van place it was! After being sent on a wild goose chase to find some form of transport (a walk around the airport and 2 taxi's later), we finally found "The Camper" and decided to go to Adelaide! After signing all the paper work, it was Aldi time and the adventure had begun (actually it started when we walked out the door, but lets be sentimental).
After stocking up on necessities and beer (oh wait, thats a necessity also) we went to the student village (my home) to grab some odds and ends, eat a good meal and head on our way. Josef began driving and we were all feeling good and excited about the days to come. Heading west while the sunset hit the windmills, hills and sparse trees was a great start (and a sign we were going the right way haha) After a a little while we stopped and got some gas and switched drivers, and we talked the front desk lady into giving us coffees...Score!
I'm eating Planters' trail mix right now and omgosh...so good!
Anyways, it was late and Harry and I were in the front jamming while Penn and Josef chilled in the back! first, it was like an hour of hardcore dub and dance, then I found my way to a station that was playing "everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for fears haha how symbolic and not to mention total CRANK! so after blowing the speakers in the van, we made it (t about 3 a.m) to Victor Harbor! It was time to drink the rest of the day away and forget about what we did to get there...and we did!
After a couple hours of sleep, we realized there was an island about 100 m away via a bridge. We ate some breakfast and I thought it would be a good idea to start the day off with a little hike...! So we make it to Granite Island and start to walk around, random large rocks everywhere, large grass and great scenery...it was okay at first, but the we make it to the other side with crashing waves and massive rocks collected along the ridge so we hop a couple ropes and start to jump along the rocks which was pretty freakin' sweet i might say! After some good photos and 30 mins of jumping from rock to rock Josef and Penn decided to head back due to running out of time at the parking meter and I wanted to try and run along the coast to finish the perimeter of the island. as i o around, of course I see some great things and have to stop to try and soak it in, but i begin to run late so of course i look for a short cut. Okay first, it was a fairly small island and I knew which direction to go, (for those of you who think im directionally impaired) i just thought I could hop some fences to save time! WELL, i had the right idea but 1.) i ended up at a cliff, but the bridge was in my eyesight and @.) I swear I hit 100 spider webs on the way! and we all know that Australia is notorious for its poisonous spiders! haha so you can imagine me, by myself, freaking out like im schizophrenic every 5 seconds cause I feel like im gonna be bitten by some huge spider! But, I make it down in about the same amount of time if I were to fallow the trail (i swear okay haha) and meet up with everybody to start back to Adelaide.
So its gotten prettty lengthy and the next couple of days are priceless memories i'd like to share without you wanting to tare your eyes out from looking at a screen forever, so stay tuned and I hope all is well with any and all of my readers!! Have a good day
