    Travel to Adelaide

    January 26, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Lovely drive thru rolling hills straight into wine country...McLaren Vale, south of Adelaide. Can't believe the number of wineries everywhere you look. Okanagan and even Napa don't compare.

    Visited Graham Stevens winery on a local's recommendation. Good call. Graham has been in the wine business for 50 years... a very knowledgeable and likeable character.

    Then Adelaide...capital of South Australia. What a nice city. The first surveyor general is lauded for planning a city that's accessible and liveable with wide streets (where you can turn a cannon around) and 50% green space. We went to the bustling central market, art gallery, crossed the River Torrens... convention centre, Adelaide oval playing field, St. Peter's cathedral.

    At the market Daryl tried to explain how to cook 'eggs over easy'....not much success...but still a delicious brekky.

    And what a coincidence...met up with good friends John and Lynn from Victoria 😉. Dinner at Jamie Oliver's Italian then watched the women's tennis final (congrats Naomi!), hearing Australian Day fireworks outside.
