Adelaide

Adelaide…..

Forecast for showers.

Rain…this is actually what came, BOM right on the money again LOL.

The 171 bus was 10 mins walk from the camp ground and took us straight into the town centre.

Our mission was to sample the good fud of Adelaide and if, maybe, by chance, if possible, in the unlikely event, could be or maybe geta new set of boots for Ellen. Her shoes she bought last year in Vladivostok were falling apart quicker than a leper on a pogo stick.

On our way into town it started bucketing down, on arrival it had backed off to pouring.

Finding our way around we were going to take the free inner city bus for tourists for a hoon but with the rain etc we decided to wait till the next day.

That following day we shuffled into town and spent the whole day there, icecreams, coffee and Turkish for dinner….but with the real treat in between.

Ellen needed new boots so we made a B Line to the outdoor shops first, the first two didn’t have anything much, our last try was at a store which was going out of shoes.

On arrival they actually had La Sportiva (our fav) and because they were going out of shoes they had nearly 50% off…..yeah…50% of a dutchie and 100% of a chiwi we were in with a grin…assuming they had our size left.

Well, for the first time in history both Ellen and mine were there AND on sale…couldn’t believe it.

Ellen got hers and said I would be mad not to get some for me, firstly I could them and secondly they were nearly half price and mine are starting to fail…but still have some life left in them, anyway, yeap…don’t you ever let a chance go by (Bob Hudson).

By dem boots

Feeling pretty coul having got new boots we were as flash and Michael Jackson and on our way.

The fun and sight seeing continued in town with the beautiful buildings of yesteryear.

The central mall was coul with artworks and a nice vibe.

The old buildings were done properly and still stand in full glory

Street art murals are everywhere and well done as well as living art and ...things.

And no city is complete without Chinatown. 

Sticking around in town till later to see some night life, bars and restaurants we finally exited home before the last bus finished.

All in all Adelaide was very cool for a city and of course we did well from it too.
