This whole nomadic adventure of us is mostly as exciting as
it sounds but not always as easy as you may think. Especially after our trip to
Europe it takes us a while to adjust to this life of no responsibilities again
and accept that feeling of total freedom. Sometimes it feels difficult to let
go of our organized lives. You feel guilty about not doing anything and just
relax. It’s weird.
This morning it was sunny and for some reason this felt like
the first time since we’re back that we could relax a little, to just enjoy the
sun, sip our coffees and listen to the bird sounds around us.
It was a good start of the day and it became even better
after arriving in Strathalbyn. What a lovely little village. It had such a cute,
small botanical garden, lots of quirky shops and interesting, historical
buildings.
From there we drove on to Goolwa where we visited the
historical wharf with Oscar W., the Paddle Steamer, and a tiny railway station.
The road continued along the coastline with some spectacular views of
the ocean.
For lunch we stopped at Port Elliot, at a retro café which
made the most yummy focaccias we had for a while.
Next stop was Victor Harbor where we walked over the bridge
to Granite Island, famous for its penguins and whale watching. We only spotted
a sunbathing seal though.
As there are no free campsites in this area of SA we checked
out the next best thing; affordable basic campsites. We checked out Waitpinga Camp
Area, which looked lovely but we finally settled for Rapid Bay because of the
amazing ocean view. A dolphin was cruising by as we arrived. How could we
resist?!
