The evening after sailing away from Adelaide we had a big Aussie barbeque up at the Lido.  AA bush band played typical Australian songs and of course Pat was in his league.  A couple of the gals at our table sat with us and there was much laughter and fun.

Our next port was Kangaroo Island.  It is my understanding that there are no kangaroos on the island, only Wallabies and Wallaroos  However, someone claimed that there was a small specie of hairy kangaroos that was native to Kangaroo Island but I have a feeling that was information for tourists only.  Maybe someone can look it up on the internet and let me know.  Most of us didn’t see any type of kangaroo but a few did see road kill.

The island is quite barren and there wasn’t much to do.  Fran, Barbie, Pat, Joan and I stopped for a beer and Joan’s Pete joined us.  Joan and Pete have become good friends.

Our last formal night had a Medieval theme and the Crow’s Nest was very busy that evening.  It seems formals do bring more people out to the various venues for drinks.

Grace, you don’t know how bad this one mean old lady is.  I overheard her say something along these lines on her way  to dinner:  I am going to go as fast as I can and mow them over if they don’t get out of my way.
This is one mean and nasty lady.  You have to wonder where this unhappiness comes from or whether she was born that way.

I have been typing this waiting for the crew to come to my cabin so we can visit Albany (pronounced Elbany) and I will do a separate post on Albany..  The last time I was here was in 2008 when the QE2 docked here.  It will be interesting to see the changes.
