This journal entry is being written from the ferry traveling to Kangaroo Island. When they were loading the ferry they made everyone back their vehicle onto the boat, which is a humbling experience when you’ve just rented a medium-sized Chinese SUV with a funky backup camera that’s stuck in wide angle mode and shows the oddly-translated warning “please watch out your surrounding” whenever you reverse. Luckily the lady guiding everyone onto the boat took pity on me and talked me into my spot as if I was a less-than-gifted teenager learning to parallel park for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was spent traveling, with an early departure from Tasmania, a flight through Melbourne to Adelaide, and then a drive from Adelaide to Cape Jervis where we caught the ferry. We made a stop along the way in the German town of Hahndorf, because why not celebrate German culture when in Australia? We’ve got another 45 minutes of driving after the ferry lands, so it’s going to be a late night for me considering that bed time has lately been around 8:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be on Kangaroo Island for the next few days, and I won’t spoil the surprise and reveal what animal it’s famous for, but we’re excited. This is also our first chance for koalas, and one of the rare places that we might see a platypus in the wild, so it should be a fun visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
