    Adelaide

    November 10, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 40 °C

    Went to Adelaide to meet Harvey, great 'little' city with the centre surrounded by park, can see the rolling hills one direction and out to the coast in the other. Lots of Jacaranda trees lining the roads, all full of purple blossom, really beautiful!
    I arrived around 4pm quickly checked into the hostel and went on a mission to find new walking shoes ready for New Zealand (and because my trainers have basically disintegrated!)... mission was a fail as all the shops closed around 5pm... however it did give me a chance to orientate myself :-D
    On Friday morning I went to Glenelg beach, really long, white sands, blue skies, was great, went for a paddle, it was 40° 🥵Met Harvey in the afternoon, was so excited to see him again, and we went to a winery and glamping... the glamping site even had its own brewery and winery 'just around the corner' (apparently this means further in Australian English than British English, but that's a tale for another time!). Went to 'down the rabbit hole' which was quite hipster (there was a bus!), Harvey got stung by a bee (murderer! Jokes, stupid bee!) And we had cocktails, wine, potatoes (random) and ice cream for dinner (not at the same time).
