London Bridge

Another early start today for a bit more sightseeing in the Grampions. Just a couple of short hikes, one out to another spectacular lookout point over the valley, the other down to a waterfall. Then it was back on the bus for the long ride to Adelaide. En route we crossed from Victoria into South Australia. When a country is as large as Australia and has so few states, crossing into a new one is an event.

Me, Lisa, and the Dutchies are staying at the Glenelg Hostel in Glenelg, a little beach resort a half an hour by tram from Adelaide. Lisa, the English woman, is an aspiring actress. She's worked on cruise ships as a dancer for a year, and has been is Australia for the past year, working in Sydney for seven months and traveling for four. The four of us went out for pizza, then went back to the hostel to drink Victoria Bitter (which, unlike Fosters, is really Australian for beer) while I tried to explain American politics.
