Day 43, Friday February 16, 2018 Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island Australia

Chinese New Year, they decorated the Lido it was all decked out.
  

We went for lunch, as our tour didn’t leave until 12:30, as the ship was late getting in. The storm we came through, made the captain slow ship speed to make us as comfortable as he could. Ed had his tai chi, and I did some housekeeping while he was gone. And then we got ready to go to lunch, and then go down for the tour. 

This is a tender port and there were a lot of people ready to get on dry land after the last two days. So instead of taking us down the passenger way, we went down through the crew area. I’m not crazy about stairs any way, but the stairs the crew has to use are really steep, and I’m thinking of them having to do there job the last couple days, we’ll you get the picture. We board the tender and again we are rocking and rolling, I was ready to hit dry land too. 

Kangaroo Island is a place that reminds me of West Texas, and the hill country, all at the same time. Very hilly and very dry.  Not much here except 20,000 Koloa bears, we saw none, and kangaroos, which we did see. 
Our first stop was the Dudley winery, nice way to start a short four hour tour. We tasted 6 wines and purchased one. 
Then over some very rough roads, we went to the light house, wear we saw the lighthouse and a family of Kangaroos. 


Then it was a walk to the beach,,,, and back to the ship 

Dinner was ok, but nothing special, I’m getting homesick.
