River walks and beach vibes

We had a very much needed sleep in this morning and woke up to rain. We had planned to walk along the river this morning but really didn’t want to do it in the rain.

We relaxed in the room for a while before deciding to get ready in the hope the rain would ease. And as luck would have it, the rain cleared and we were off.

First port of call was a cappuccino and hot chocolate from the coffee club then off for a long relaxing walk along the river. We made our way up to the Adelaide Zoo before turning around and making our way back to our room. We saw so many beautiful places along the river, memorials and churches.

Back for a quick lunch in our room before heading out to catch the tram outside our hotel, Glenelg bound.

It didn’t take long and we were in the beautiful seaside suburb of Glenelg. It was a very windy day and there was a lot of seaweed on the beach. We made our way onto the jetty and when we were at the end of the jetty we turned around and behind us were 2 fellow travellers from The Ghan there who not only were on The Ghan with us but were on the same carriage as us - what are the chances of that. We chatted for a while and headed off.

We walked along the Main Street before heading to Copenhagen ice cream for a little treat. We haven’t had Copenhagen ice cream in over 20 years and it was as good as we had remembered.

We then went for a walk along the esplanade to see how the other half live before stopping off at a bar for a beverage. It was then time to head back so we headed to the tram which runs every 10 minutes.

We were nearly at our stop when I said to Dave that I needed to get off as I was feeling like I was either going to faint or be sick. Yes it was a little cooler day but just like a spring day but this tram had the heater going and it was just too much. As soon as I stepped off, I felt instantly better!

Big day of walking so we spent the rest of day relaxing in our room. Hahndorf bound tomorrow.Læs mere
