I dag skal vi tilbage til mere almindelige varmegrader. Vi sover længe i dag ( vågner af os selv ca kl 650! ) Dejlig morgenmad og derefter videre til lufthavnen. 2 timer senere tager vi afsked med Hubbi for denne gang. Hun skal hjem til kontoret og vi skal ud og køre bil! Dejligt møde med Adelaide, hvor det i dag er ca 25 g …
