So, now I have returned from the Motherland, Darren and I find ourselves together again.
After Christmas Darren broke up the trip from Melbourne to Adelaide by staying with his brother and family for about 10 days, and fishing his socks off. I am happy to report it is some of the best fishing he had done, with masses of kingfish etc, and also bizzarely many videos of seals by the boat too, so I am surprised they caught anything. Still, a fishing Darren is a happy Darren so he had a great time
…. I was in Hong Kong with my sister and family by this time, with the plan for Darren to meet me at Adelaide airport and we would carry on. I left HK for Melbourne on Weds 13 Jan and stayed with Darren’s parents that night.
When I spoke to Darren that night he was already near Adelaide airport at a camp site. I had thought he would arrive in Adelaide on the Thursday, when I did, but he was there early. I asked him what he was going to do after he had been thrown out of the camp site at 10 m., until I arrived at 1. “I will be circling the airport until you arrive, you look out of the window and you will see me below”. Funny, it didn’t sound too far fetched, I was certain there couldn’t be too many cars with a silver boat on its roof towing a match box around Adelaide airport.
Needless to say I wasn’t able to spot him due to my aisle - near - any exit seat. We met up and he surprised me by booking a hotel near the beach for the night. Awwwwww,to enjoy the last luxuries before drop toilets and camp showers.
That evening we saw our first sunset over the sea. Being an East-coaster it is unusual to get the sunset, and we walked around Glenelg, I enjoying the balmy weather at last, surveying the Adelaiders (?) enjoying the evening.
