South Australia Scandals.

SA is very interesting. Went there recently, first time ever. It was very, very, very dry. The drive into Adelaide is very beautiful, save about the hundreds of blind insects that fly into Ollie's windscreen every few moments. It is very hilly and there are many interesting things not far from the city - e.g. national parks, beaches, wineries... all very close by.

Hilights of the trip include but are not limited to:
- Photo taking.
- The 20 minutes of silence walking alone along Henley beach.
- Whispering wall, especially for the half hour when we were the only people there.
- Learning the true definitions of cappucino, espresso, Irish coffee, and instant coffee.
- Literally stripping in Adelaide Uni in the middle of the night (~1am).
- Spending time with four goofs.

With all trips, there are some down sides. Me and the President only had 3.5 hours sleep before both long drives (drive between Melbourne and Adelaide). Not everyone was 100% healthy - sore throats, naughty stomachs and the like.

All in all, a fantastic trip. Thanks to my fellow travel buddies, Mr. President, Chief and Deputy Navigators, and the Safety Officer for making the trip memorable and fun.

I went to SA recently too. Although, at the whispering wall I was the only one there and was not able to test it out.
