Virgin Blue: Flight DJ418

Flying from Sydney to Adelaide on Wednesday, 09 June 2010
Traveller: Miss Jennifer Hill
12:30 departs Sydney
14:15 arrives Adelaide

Entertainment is not free on domestic flights in Australia (therefore don't complain to the steward the next time you board a flight). When I started traveling I had one large duffle packed inside was an extra backpack and tripod, which ended up saving me later on--my huge camera bag and of course my awesome Mountain Designs Wanderer 200 sleeping bag!!

Funny thing, ya always hear that Australians are laid back and super hospitable, in Adelaide this is completely true. I met a really awesome woman named Sue and believe it or not she gave me a lift into town and dropped me at the front door of my hostel--no joke, she wouldn't let me give her any money!


Where did I stay:
 Nomads Adelaide Travellers Inn
 220 Hutt Street Adelaide SA 5000                                  




I stayed from Wed. June 9th to Thurs. June 10th (left early in the morning for Kangaroo Island)
I returned and stayed from Fri. June 11th to June 13th in a 4-person dorm with two awesome people named Raili Kruusimaa and Mariko, there was also a girl named Flick and Yu too.
I then stayed in a single from Mon. June 14th to June 16th (early morning on the 16th, I left for Rock Patrol Trip with Amber and gang!).

In the hostel, I met so many new friends from all over the world, my roommates were from Estonia and Japan. I also met Nadir, Damien, Anouk, Miriam, and Jonas--they are from France, Germany, Holland, and Canada.

On Deck: Kangaroo Island with Groovy Grape Getaways
