On the Moon - Kangaroo Island
Greetings from Kingscote, Australia, the capital city of Kangaroo Island.
This very short post is just to let you (collectively) know that we have arrived here, had several comical experiences on the ferry, at the car rental office, and on the long drive from Penneshaw (where the ferry lands) to our rented house on Snelling Beach. Last night, in Cape Jervis, we even had a classic “What’s the pentagram on the wall for?” pub experience at the local tavern.
Based on the unbelievable amount of roadkill we have seen, the kangaroos for whom the island is named appear to be largely suicidal. I guess “Suicidal Kangaroo Island” might not have been so great for attracting tourists.
More to come later, once we have an internet connection. There does not even appear to be cell phone/BlackBerry coverage here, so we got 15 minutes of coverage at a pub in Kingscote. Adventure awaits!
