Adelaide offers loads of activities. We have chosen to visit their beach Glenelg and follow some walking trails. Glenelg is sandy beach and offers clean water. Just behind are fast food and souvenirs – what a shame to spoil such a nice part of town. The historical walking trails are covering the whole city center and North Adelaide. There are still many historical buildings in good condition, their use slightly modified from their original purpose. The main industries are automotive and household appliacies.

On Wednesday we enjoyed a long but interesting day on Kangaroo Island. With the bus we set off to Cape Jervis – right in the South of the Peninsula. Kangaroo Island is the 3^rd largest Australian island (Tasmania, Melville). The ferry took us across to Penneshaw, then with the bus to visit the main sights (155 km long and 55 km wide). Back to the city at 2230h.

Kangaroo Island ist Habitat für 18 einheimische „Mammals“, 250 Vogelarten und 900 Pflanzenarten. Industgrie: Wolle, Eukalyptusoel, Honig, Schafmilchkäse. Tourismus ist heute der 5. grösste Industriezweig.. Unsere Tagestour führte uns zur Seelöwenkolonie, Remarkable Rocks (eine Felsenkombination), Adminrals Arch, sowie ein Besuch einer Vogelschutzzone.

Le problème en Australie sont les coûts de rester en contact avec les amis par internet. Raison: très cher. Les hotels demande 30 AU$ pour 24 heures. Les internet caffées env. 5AU$ per heures. Les hotels demande la journée, même si on utilise uniquement 10 minutes. Alors, je me procure un Telstra modem, que ne n'arrive pas à démarrer, alors retour au internet caffée ou l'hôtel. Pour cette raison les blogs serait un petit plus court qu'avant.
