KI - hop hop hop

 I flew into Adelaide on Wednesday. While I was there I went to the art museum, the Chinese Market, and the Central Market. Adelaide is known as the city of churches because on every corner there is an amazing church or cathedral to stand in awe of. The architecture is fantastic. I’ll be going back on Thursday for a couple more days.

I stayed in Hostel 109 while I was there. It was my first time staying in a hostel. For those of you who have seen the movie Hostel, it was NOTHING like it. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie…DON’T. It’s terrible, and the hostel was quite nice. Very homey. Not like staying in a Hilton or anything, but kind of like the dorms in college except with people from all around the world.


I'm here WWOOFin' on Kangaroo Island now. I flew in on Thursday bright and early. We spent the day in the town Kingscote. Kingscote’s population is around 2000. It’s a nice little town on the ocean, and it’s KI’s largest city. KI has around 4000 people on it.

My WWOOF host's name is Ty. He’s a 27 y/o Aussie who inherited land from his parents, and he runs a camping ground and also has organic sheep, cattle, veggies, 3 bull mastiffs, and a pig named Ivory. There are also 3 French people staying here. Valerie, Arnaud, and Ann-Lyn. They are all very nice and around my age. I’ve spent the last few days cleaning the garden and pulling mint from the garden. I haven’t played in dirt that much since elementary school!

We went fishing at dusk on the beach. My line broke after the second cast so I didn’t catch anything. I took pictures instead.


Beautiful!!!

Arnaud and Doug both caught fish.


This is my little trailer and Ty’s niece, Willow.

It’s been raining a ton. I hope it clears up so I can see a little more of the island tomorrow!
