Qantas, so unreliable you can rely on them. After getting well walking 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ a couple of minutes from the hotel, we were checking our bags in and going through Security. Time for a coffee ☕️ and a breakfast pastry, we waited at Gate 50 for our flight ✈️ to Kingscote on Kangaroo Island. Half an hour before boarding, and our flight is cancelled. Qantas true to their word don't really care tell and tell us we are booked on the next available flight only 8 hours later but hey we will give you $30 each to buy food and non alcoholic drinks. But we won't tell you where from!! After playing the game, we finally get our $30 lunch and play the waiting game until 4:00 pm, and we can board our flight ✈️.
At 16:37, we were rumbling down the runway in a small Dash 8-400. As soon as we were airborne, the air stewardess brought round water and snacks. As soon as they had finished, they were back collecting rubbish and saying fasten our seat belts. At 17:00, we were touching down at Kangaroo Island. We were met by Roger, a lovely guy from Peru who drove us the 1 hour back to the Sea Dragon accommodation complex. Driving past kangaroos, we arrived at reception where our bags carried on and were placed in our chalet. After a welcome drink and various formalities, we were taken yo our chalet, and wow, what a view.....we would have an unobstructed view straight down to the sea if it wasn't for a couple of kangaroos standing ant 30 feet from our verandah 🤣.
Heading back to reception for our evening meal, which was lovely, we watched the waves crashing against the rocks, kangaroos eating, and the sun going down all at the same time.
Before heading back yo our chalet, gazing at the stars and universe and creeping past a little wallaby.Les mer
