Sunset in Glenelg, Australia

October 24, 2014

Glenelg, Australia

We took the tram from downtown Adelaide west to the beach at Glenelg.

This is one Fisherman's Platter. I'm so glad we did not order two meals. The Bay Fish Shop has won all kinds of awards and I can see why. The batter is incredibly light and crunchy. The fish is super fresh and you can see the quantities are huge!

Absolutely exquisite sunset over the beach.

With the musicians playing, people sitting on the ground and the sun setting it reminded me of Mallory Square in Key West. It had the same vibe :)

Koala Hugs, Adelaide, Australia

October 23, 2014

Cleland Wildlife Sanctuary

This is Isaac. He arrived at Cleland as an orphaned joey requiring constant care to stay alive. He formed a strong bond with his keeper. He is used to being handled and fed by humans.

Isaac's fur is very thick and plush and he is an excellent hugger! Holding a koala was on my bucket list, so I am ecstatic :)

Here at Cleland you are able to feed and pet the animals. They have special food for you to use. I'm amazed that all the animals aren't fat!

I was second in line. Woo hoo!!! They limit the amount of people that can hold the koalas by charging extra for the experience. It's worth every penny!
