Interstate Travel - New South Wales to South Australia

Camera, check. Clothes, check. Itinerary, check. Passports, check. Luggage weighing less than 10kg/person so we don’t have to pay extra to check it in, let’s hope so. The maxicab (the kind that fits a family of five) arrived to take us to the Sydney Airport on Friday morning. McDonalds and Subway both had a presence in the airport food court, which felt very American.
The fact that our shoes stayed on through security and no one ever asked to see those passports that were taking up a few grams of weight or ANY other ID, did not feel American. I have to admit, it was very smooth and easy, and gave us a bit of doubt about whether it was safe enough.
Which, in turn, made me a little sad that we carry around that doubt.

At the Adelaide Airport, which is in a different time zone by 30 minutes (it took us an embarrassingly amount of time to figure that out), we skipped the baggage reclaim and found our way out.

After claiming our Cruze rental car, we headed south to catch the Spirit of Kangaroo Island. We passed through a very small town with a few restaurants and decided to risk the restaurant scene in Cape Jervis. Luckily, the one and only joint in town, had a very kind employee who volunteered to make us dinner before her shift ended at 4:30 and the cook arrived at 5. It was pretty good and a sign inside even offered “We have fresh fruit and vegetables, please ask.”

We caught the sunset over the water onboard, which we don’t get on the East Coast.
