Day 2 - Victor Harbour, Adelaide






Joanna picked us up at 8.30am from the hotel. We had a big breakfast together (those who have not tried grilled fresh mushroom MUST try it. Super YUMMY!) before heading to Victor Harbour. It was a very windy and chilly morning. We took a coach-pulled-by-a-horse ride from Victor Harbour to Granite Island. It was a great experience but I did pity the horse for working so hard to earn his "living". Granite Island is where the penguin rescue center is. Too bad it was closed on the day we were there. We did however catch a great view of the ocean from the many lookout points on Granite Island. Ashley kept standing by the penguin sign that says:"Senior's Lunch. AUD8.90 two course meal". We were laughing at her when it suddenly dawned on me that she IS hungry. It was way past her lunch time. This mummy is really not so good at her "job". We had a fish and chips lunch by the beach before driving back home. Oh, we did another stop at Whaler's lookout point. It was BEAUTIFUL! Too bad my camera was running low on batteries and I couldn't get a good shot.

Dinner time was with Joanna and Tex at the Brazilian restaurant in the city. It was alright but Ashley didn't enjoy her meal and it kinda upsets me. She is a rice person. The Brazilian restaurant that we had eaten before in Shanghai was much better and the spread was more attractive. Oh well, perhaps Brazilian food is not a favourite in Adelaide.

Ashley fell asleep halfway through dinner and that's Day 2 for her in Adelaide.
