it's really hard to get into this blog thing!

WEll, continuing on my Adelaide trip, but I will give the 'spark notes' version! (c'mon we all love spark notes) and hopefully it wont be too long.
        After our interesting beach night, we woke up to a cloudy day and headed for Adelaide.  After finding where we were going to park the camper, we set off to go to the bigger wineries in the city.  The first one we stopped at after a nice long rainy hike along the a river, was a more historical type of museum than anything.  Just to taste a little bit of wine was like 20 bucks so we decided to take our chances and get a couple bottle that sounded good and yes, they were amazing!  Okayyy go ahead and say it, WINE TASTING...REALLY!  But this wasn't our last wine stop for the trip, but we were ready for some beer so we made a stop at a random pub with some live music and got our DRINK ON!  Somewhere around 10 pitchers of beer later, the four of us were hammered walking the streets of Adelaide!  Had no idea of what time it was, where we were or actually what was going on!  Luckily we got videos of hanging out with a drunk homeless guy at the bus stop which was toootally worth it!  Not in a mean way, but we definitely brightened up his day im sure.  WE get back safely to the camper and start making some bangin' pasta!  WE ATE soo much and that was the base of the four of ours' conversation for the next couple hours haha...!  Penn and I passed out early and Harry and Josef decided to continue the once again, really long night.    ( for my sake of remembrance, I forgot to mention about the spot we thought we were supposed to first park at!  It was where the trashcans were supposed to go, half the size of the real spots and Harry actually managed to get the van through!  Its hard to put a picture on this but just try to imagine a huge van squeezing through a little alley...)
      Anyways, so we continued to another winery and the tasting was FREE and the wines were preeetty freakin' good especially the last one, the desert wine haha ( I didn't think that actually existed but Grease was right all along)  so we're all not drunk just nice and chilled and we start heading up a mountain to maybe find a good hike while we were there.  So the hike started off good and then an eerie fog took over the forest covered mountain ( I thought Predator was gonna come out!)  so we pass a nice little waterfall and end up on a ZOO....i thought we were in an episode of the twilight zone!  we walked by some wallabies and kangaroos hangin' out behind a fence and theres a little sign that says electrical fence...haha just guess what comes next?!  Yes, we got Penn to touch it hahahahahaha!  I almost died from his reaction and couldn't breath for five minutes!  Then, somehow we end up at a ZOO....i thought we were in an episode of the twilight zone! We get in not knowing what to expect and then a million kangaroos come out of nowhere, some as tall as we were and luckily we put some bread in the bookbag so we gave a lot of the kangaroos a nice fiber rich lunch.  Kangaroos fighting, sleeping and just hangin' out everywhere...i knew we were in the twilight zone now!  So we finished walking the Clealand Zoo and were on our way home.  Stopped once to get a nice last dinner in that Harry prepared which was good and then Josef took the wheel all the way home! 

The End.....Finally
