Day 197 – Adelaide to Renmark

Everyone was excited to welcome papa back from his Sydney Metallica getaway! But first – more scootering, the girls have been obsessed with their morning and afternoon scooter sessions while we’ve been staying here, which has been lovely. Scarly insisted on wearing her new tutu and helmet.

Once papa was back we quickly finished packing and headed off to start our drive out of Adelaide. I had Renmark in mind for our stop, but we were also happy to see how far we would end up depending on traffic, energy levels etc
We’ve learnt to be adaptable on this trip, that’s for sure!

We made a couple of stops for lunch and a run-around, one being Waikerie, which had lovely river views along the Murray. The kids had 2 playgrounds to choose from, lucky ducks! There were also more cool mural silos, I love all the art around the country towns.

Chris was pretty tired, so we decided not to push it much further. The park at Renmark was awesome and had it been a bit warmer the kids would have never wanted to leave… there was a water splash park, a pool & spa, an outdoor movie theatre, bouncy pillow, indoor and outdoor playground as well as kart hire. No wonder people book in here for weeks!

The kids didn’t last long in the splash park, because it was so freezing, but loved the warm spa along the side of the pool.
While dinner was cooking they watched a bit of Raya and then it was back to the usual routine. A fairly quiet day of travel, so not much to report.
