The Atypical Adventures of a Valley Girl Down Under: Adelaide Adventure: Victor Harbor

PENGUINS PENGUINS I DID IT AND IT WAS AWESOME. LITTLE TINY PENGUINS. 3 hours travel return and 22$ bus ride I made it. It was a beautiful Sunny day. So it turns out they don't run penguin tours at dusk anymore due to lack of interest. So I got to go to the rehabilitation center and see all the decreped penguins (missing eyes, etc) BUT DON"T MATTER. If anything it was better because it was a small enclosure and they just sort of stood there and let us look at them. BEING SO CUTE. I also got to watch feeding time, where they were more active and I got to learn some facts. The penguins aren't on Victor Harbor itself, but right off the coast on Granite Island. You could take a horse pulled tram to get across the bride... I opted out since it was quite cold (at that point) for lethargic transportation. After seeing the penguins.... I realized a huge flaw in my plan. After penguins, I had no plan. In my hasty excitement to get to the penguins I did NO OTHER RESEARCH. So I was like... now what? I explored the island a bit which was actually pretty cool. And then, neglected the scenic route to explore the city, which looking back on wasn't the best move. (Granted I was REALLY hungry). Because there really was no city. I walked along a cuteish strip, looked around (a tattoo parlow next to a lazer tattoo and hair remover), went to a cute lolly shop. had lunch and ended up reading Pride and Prejudice on my kindle in a cafe.... prob should have opted for the earlier bus. OH WELL. HERE ARE PICTURES. (Sidenote, I also remembered my camera could vido tape.... and that it fit in my trusty Adventurer Indiana Jones Leather Backpack... so it should have come on all the adventures.)
