Leaving Adelaide (Part II)
Later in the day, we crossed over the River Murray on a barge. Quite an experience I have to say. Apparently it is more economical to use the barge rather then to build a bridge. Beats me but it's cool.
Then it's off to the Coorong! We got sent to the Coorong Wilderness Lodge where we got a Bushtucker walk by an aboriginal guide. He's kinda weirdish and rudish but it's probably just an attitude he's putting up for tourism. Got some quick lessons on Aboriginal history (50000 years etc), Bush food and medicine and some animal info.
Well, we gotta get going else we'll never get to melbourne. Next up, we get to go to some sand dunes. Oh my goodness the sand in my shoes will drive me mad. I hate sand in my shoes. Nice scenery, but I HATE SAND IN MY SHOES.
Before we get to our stop for the night, we get to see a huge giant lobster called Larry. Apparently, it was not supposed to be this big. Someone just built it wrong. Talk about a BIG mistake.
Our stop for the night at the town of Robe is this place called the Lakside Manor Backpackers Lodge. Oh my goodness, this place is AMAZING! It's so posh and comfy. It's my first hostel ever to boot! Everyone's telling me I'll be disappointed forever! It sure beats many hotels even! People reading this blog, I'm telling you, if you ever go to Robe in South Australia, you WILL stay in this place or I will kick your butt for stupidity.
