Goodbye Tranquillity, G'day Crowds

We woke up at 06:30 to a cloudy ⛅️ start to the day. It might have been worse if the sun was shining because this morning is when we are leaving this idyllic life caught in a time-warp where you are surrounded by animals, and there is a fabulous community spirit. At 08:40 our departure time, Adam arrives with our suitcases collected to drive 🚗 us to the airport 🛫. But first, we have a last circuit to see the kangaroos before hitting the usual Kangaroo Island traffic rush hour.
By 12:00 midday we are in our hotel 🏨 for the next 2 nights in Adelaide. Soon, we are out in downtown Adelaide with all it's high rise buildings and people busy going to and from work or shopping. We also came across the Adelaide Pigs 🐖 Created by South African-born, Sydney-based sculptor Marguerite Derricourt, the four grunters, she says, were partly inspired by Pietro Tacca's 1612 fountain in Florence, Italy, that features the Il Porcellino (“piglet”) bronze sculpture of a boar. Street entertainment, part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and a giant pigeon before heading back to the Mayfair Hotel and its rooftop bar. 🍻Read more
