See the end of the post to see what was in this bowl Mornings with a View This morning started perfectly. At 6.30 a.m., we had fruit platters, muffins, and coffee delivered to our room. Sitting in our favourite chairs by the balcony, we watched the endless blue waves while savouring the soothing sound of waves. An afternoon snack, after a busy day on Seal Bay and Kangaroo Island. After all we broke the bus by leaving it 10 minutes running its Air Conditioning while we were lounging at the Visitor Centre. Although there was a mystery surprise for us while we doing this.
