 Robe so far, has been my favourite stop. It was quiet, beautiful, on a beach and had the world’s best ice cream shop that included Nutella ice cream.

The weather was amazing, perfect weather for swimming in the ocean and a little bit of tanning. But the ocean was freezing, every time I ducked my head under the water I came up gasping for breath because it was so cold. I also tried to tan but failed miserably and remain the most pale in the family.

The sunsets on the beach were magical and when you added a variety of ice cream it was even better. While the boys and grandma did a bit of fishing I sat in the car and soaked up the beautiful views and ate most the ice cream.

I felt like I could have stayed in robe forever but like every place we had to move on and our next stop was victor harbour.

The weather dropped off heaps but the beach at victor harbour was much warmer so swimming was still an option in a big way. Victor harbour was full of natural beauty but was the definition of bogan-Ville. If someone wasn’t swearing every second word and didn’t have their skin covered in tats then they were definitely a tourist.

As seen on sunrise, I am not a morning person. Apart from when I walk into the caravan, expecting to do school work and see my best friend sitting at the end of the caravan. I was so shocked to see Jordan that I stumbled out of the caravan, on what seemed to be the verge of passing out nearly knocking my head on the way. Not even having taj running around my feet, madly snapping pictures of me, made me fall back into my morning mood.

Victor Harbour is a very quiet town and nothing much really happens there. We did however, travel across a pier via horse and cart witch was really fun. We then walked around the small island and got treated to another history by mum.

Adelaide was our next stop, the caravan as nice as it was, resulted in 3 nights of not much sleep dur to the nearby airport and the trucks driving past at all times of the night.

The park itself though was very nice, we had a nice beach about 100m away from where we were camped. It was also a lot more enjoyable at the caravan park because we made a couple of new friends from Port Lincoln.

Apart from cruising around the caravan park with our new friends we went to the zoo for dad’s birthday. The zoo was much smaller then Melbourne but it was still a lot of fun. Seeing the giant pandas was amazing because I have not seen any before. I also got a fair laugh listening to Ryley’s and Jordan’s comments about the albino meerkat.

We also went out for dinner for dad’s birthday, we ate at a beach view restaurant. The view of the sunset was beautiful and just to add to the scenery dolphins were jumping around close into shore. Making it look like something you would see on a Getaway show.

Before we left Adelaide I had to say goodbye to Jordan. Watching him get on the plane was incredibly sad because I knew it was the last time I would see anyone for the next 3 months. I may have cried just a little.

It has been a great second week, our next stop is the Barossa Valley witch I will soon find myself writing on. Hope everyone is having a good time in Melbourne and enjoying the weather that is probably a whole lot worse than 30 degrees and sunshine. Xx
