Last night in Australia

The time has finally come to leave Australia, and we officially have about 8 minutes left of internet time (and since we're down to our last $10 Aussie dollars, this has to be quick!)

We are in Adelaide, and fly out tomorrow to head to Bangkok, where we'll eventually meet up with a couple of friends in Siem Reap, Cambodia.... got that?

We have REALLY enjoyed our time in this country, and the last week and a half have been no exception. We had the chance to meet more of Steve's extended family outside of Melbourne (thank you to Rob, Chris, Jess, and Andrew Erskine for being such amazing hosts, and to Nan for making homemade lamingtons for us, they were delicious!)

Fate worked in our favor and it turned out that concert tickets we had bought weeks ago to see Ben Lee was actually down the road from where the Erskines lived. It was an amazing concert- definitely recommend checking out Ben Lee if you have a chance.

After that, we had adventures getting into Melbourne and returning the rental campervan. We were sad to say goodbye to it, but after navigating Melbourne's crazy roads and toll system it was a ctually a relief to hand it in!

We flew to Adelaide a couple of days ago and have been hanging out in the city since then. We've been a bit lazy as far as doing touristy things go, spending most of our time in the library searching for flights in Southeast Asia.

We just finished a wine tour of the Barossa Valley (well-known for being home to Jacob's Creek, Penfolds, and other vineyards). It was a great day and we met some excellent people.

Time is running out, so will update more when we're in SOUTHEAST ASIA!!!!

Cheers,

Anna & Steve
