We went to Kangaroo Island this week! It was amazing! I highly recommend going there if you are ever in South Australia. We headed to the bus station late Saturday afternoon to catch a bus to Cape Jarvis. A two hour bus ride later we had arrived, but our traveling wasn't done yet! We still had to take a 2 hour ferry ride over to the island. We finally arrived around 7:00 or so Saturday night. We dropped off our bags in our rooms and headed to dinner. Dinner was quite nice. After dinner the real fun started! Fairy Penguin hunting! Okay, we really didn't hunt them, but we had flashlights with red beams to find them. Fairy Penguins are the smallest penguins there are and the fish all day and come back home to the rocks by the beach at night to feed their babies. It took us awhile, but we found heaps of them! They were everywhere waddling around all cute and cuddly. The very first one we found looked at us and then started to waddle away and then looked back again and pooped. It was hilarious! I think you had to be there, but it was funny! No pictures of the penguin though because the bright light of the camera flash hurts their eyes. But you can look them up on the Internet! They are cute!

We eventually headed off to bed because our day tour started early. Our first stop on the tour was Seal Bay. It was amazing! There were Australian Sea lions lounging on the beach everywhere! I think we took a million pictures of them because they are so incredibly cute! We got to walk right along the beach with them there. We weren't allowed to get too close because they do attack. After Seal Bay it was time for lunch and then a Birds of Prey show. It was okay. Justin got to hold an owl on his arm! After the Birds of Pray off to Remarkable Rocks. They are these beautiful rock overlooking the ocean that have eroded over time making some cool shapes. Then after a million pictures, off to Admirals Arch. Admirals Arch is a basically a hole looking through to the ocean ( you can see the picture above). All around the area were a bunch of New Zealand Fur Seal. Very cute as well!

Eventually our tour came to an end and we began our journey back home! We arrive back to Adelaide around 10:30 at night. It was tough waking up on Monday morning! Kangaroo Island was pretty much amazing! This weekend Justin and I are off to the southern Flinders Ranges to go camping/bushwalking with some friends from church. No in-laws this time! I dont' think camping in the cold is there style! Anyway we miss you all!!
