Day 6 - On the road again back into picturesque Penneshaw for lunch before boarding the ferry to Cape Jervis. We see one the very old stone houses and historic church here build by early settlers. 

Sitting out in the bay today, is one of the many cruise ships that visit Kangaroo Island at this time of the year. As the Ships must dock out in the bay, passengers are tendered into the Penneshaw wharf to the many coaches waiting to show visitors all over beautiful Kangaroo Island.  

Glen Willson pictured is a local islander with ancestry dating back to the 1800′s early settlers on the island. Glen was our wonderful driver throughout our fantastic 6 day tour around the island. Glen loves his desserts!

Our first nights stop was at the Acacia Ridge Motel in Port Augusta. Owners Andrew and Maria were wonderfully welcoming to our group and looked after us all extremely well. The food was great and plentiful and, catered for some passengers dietary needs without fuss. Nothing was too much trouble.

As the weather had been very cold, we delighted in our rooms being warm (heaters were on) and cosy to move into to. 

Maria bought Diesel their dog to say goodbye and thank you to us before our departure which we loved.

A great stay, we would all thoroughly recommend you stay here whilst in Pt Augusta.

Our last night on the Pride of America we celebrated June & Colin’s 30th Wedding Anniversary. The crew sang a lovely congratulatory song (”Let me call you Sweetheart”) to the happy couple and the chef made them a lovely ‘strawberry’ (their favorite) and chocolate celebration plate which they enjoyed back in their cabin with champagne. 

The next day back in Honolulu, our farewell dinner was held at the Lobster Place where we all thoroughly enjoyed our seafood dinners and drinks. A wonderful night to celebrate together, a fantastic tour and cruise - everyone had such a great time.

Everyone just loves the lambs and colored sheep at Island Pure Sheep Dairy. Sampling the yummy yogurts and cheeses is always a treat, with many passengers taking home their own supplies. Greg at Bay of Shoals Winery always gives us a great talk about their wonderful variety of wines and is very generous with the sampling of their wines, much to the delight of our passengers who also took home bottles of wines to enjoy.
