Another good brekkie to start the day and a stroll to the coach stop on the main Tanunda road, saying goodbye to the Dove Cote. We make the return journey to Adelaide by coach to Gawler, managing to get some in transit photos of Jacobs Creek winery. We transfer us and the luggage onto the train back to Adelaide, a journey that seems so much quicker in reverse. We get a taxi back to the Adabco Boutique Hotel, leaving our bags then heading up to the Jam Factory for...

I made sure I had a good brekkie of bacon, tomatoes, roomies and poached eggs (after a Donks lesson on poached egg technique) in order to line my tummy in preparation for today's onslaught! Our bus already contains our guide, Lis; Owen from Sydney who did the tour yesterday also and Charlotte, who prefers juice to wine. I...

The air seems so fresh here, the waters so clear and the wildlife is amazing. I love it!Hog bay was yet another beautiful beach (if you ignored the docked...

What an action packed day! We set out early with packed lunches Onboard, courtesy of Queenie (me), who woke up feeling surprisingly spritely! We headed to the far south west of the island, stooping at the general store in Vivonne Bay for and egg and bacon butty and a good old pot of tea. The three ladies working there were a hoot and we felt very welcomed indeed. Our first port of call was at the Flinders Chase Visitors Centre where there was an excellent gift sh...
