Adelaide is, as the Aussies say, brilliant. For us it is roses in the lanes, gardens and vineyards, rhododendrons in the gully, pachysandra and flame tree on the streets. And all set against a brilliant blue sky. It is black and white cockatoos and green parrots, lorikeets, zebra finches and kookaburras laughing wildly in the early morning light. It is kangaroos and koalas, penguins and sea lions and a shy echidna showing us his nose.
We have traveled the hills and valleys of this beautiful jewel of a little city and its surrounds, gone to the beaches, the summits, the vales and the island to see the land that is down under.
We have met the friendliest, out-going, positive people of a law-abiding culture that is a wonderful example for the rest of the world. We have made friends and we hope they come to visit us in Santa Fe so we can return some small part of the generous hospitality they have shown us.
Now on to Valparaiso, Chile and the last leg of our year-long odyssey.
Thank you dear readers for staying with us. See you in Chile.
