Adelaide (WK 18)

Typical house in Adelaide

We love Adelaide – 2nd best Australian City (after Brisbane!) – we’d live here. The buildings are beautiful, wide tree and rose lined streets, masses of parks, friendly locals, on the door step of amazing vineyards and close access to the beach at Glenelg.

Our caravan park is very central so after a quick set up we walked to the bus stop for the free city loop bus. There is no ‘hop on hop off’ bus in Adelaide but this is a pretty good substitute although the photos are not so great as through glass.

Yesterday (14/03/2010) we again took the free bus to the Central Market which sells food and houses many restaurants. Unlike Salamanca Markets in Hobart it was lovely walking around as the crowds are keeping away. As well as a few purchases we shared a paella – one of the best we’ve ever had. In the evening we went into town for dinner and again had a superb meal. This part of the country really has fabulous food.

Today (15/03/2020) we took the free bus and then tram to Glenelg which is Adelaide’s ‘beach’. Beautiful bay with, of course, a jetty. We had a lovely day wandering around the town and the beach.

Tomorrow (16/03/2020) we head north to the Clare Valley for some more vineyards and then we head to the Yorke Peninsula for some quiet time (and no eating out!).
