Kangaroo Island

 

Thursdday morning we drove the 2 hours to catch the Ferry to Kangaroo Island. 

Although we have been here a year, we have not been to this island. We no longer

have missionaries serving on Kangaroo Island as they pulled them  out before we arrived

last July.  Here we are ready to board the Ferry!

 

Hot chocolate for everyone on the Ferry!

 

We were glad we had hats and coats as it was very cold and windy on the Ferry. 

But we had the best surprise ever!!!

 

A Humpback Whale was spotted so they stopped the Ferry.  We were allowed to go

out on deck and watch it and boy was it putting on a show for us.  It was jumping

and turning and even waving to us with its fin.  A lady next to us said she had lived

on Kangaroo Island for 40 years and had made the Ferry trip many times and had 

never seen a whale.  We picked the right day!

 

Once we landed on the island we went straight to Cliffords Honey Farm-one of our 

favorite stops! And why is this honey farm unique?  Because Kangaroo Island has 

the only Ligurian bees in the world.  No one is allowed to bring honey onto this island. 

 

Brinley was happy to be the QUEEN BEE and Jalen not so happy to be the worker

bee!

 

More kinds of honey than we could imagine.  And the best thing was we got to

taste test them.  They have different flavors depending on the kind of flower

that is pollinated.

Grandpa and Brighton enjoying some of their favorite things.  Brighton-ice cream

and Grandpa-a root beer.

 

Now who gets to be the Queen Bee? And I think the worker bee fits President Parker!
