To Adelaide we go

This morning we woke up a little later than normal as breakfast service was later. We woke up to rain! We got ready and headed off to the dining car for the very last time.

We stopped off in the lounge to have Aaron make us another amazing cappuccino and hot chocolate that would be delivered to our table in the dining car.

One last amazing breakfast made for us and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I have vanilla yoghurt and banana for entree with bacon and eggs on toast with poached eggs for mains while Dave had toast for entree and the same as me for main.

We enjoyed this amazing breakfast before heading to lounge for yet another hot chocolate and cappuccino. I think we were not wanting the train experience to end. We talked to a few of the fellow travellers before heading back to our room, backed the last few things and just watched the world go by out the window for the next few hours. We were delayed about an hour due to a medical emergency for a fellow traveller where the ambulance needed to attend on the at Port Pirie. We weren’t alerted to this until after the event.

And then in a blink of an eye we had arrived in Adelaide which means sadly our trip on The Ghan had come to an end.

Whist the train experience is highly targeted to the over 70’s, we have had THE most amazing time, made so many lifelong memories, talked to so many different people, shared adventures (and put many more places on our bucket list from these stories), experienced the most amazing food, taken part in many memorable off train experiences with Dinner Under the Stars being the absolute highlight of the trip and seen some amazing countryside. Plus so many photos taken with only about a tenth making our blog.

Now to explore Adelaide until next Wednesday!Læs mere
