We have just had two full days in Adelaide and have finally had a chance to have a good look around. Our previous visits have been very fleeting involving an hour stop on the way to somewhere else. On Saturday we started with a walk into the city along the Torrens river, our camp ground was on the edge of the Botanic gardens so a perfect location and only a 25 min walk from Rundle Mall. We did a little bit of shopping and picked up a Boxing Day bargain.
Next stop was the Central Market, Regan and my idea of heaven. Lots of interesting food stalls and some very generous cheese tastings which we particularly enjoyed. We made this our lunch stop as there were so many delicious things to try washed down with a Piña colada smoothies. We also ended up with a few things to carry back to the camper fridge, thank goodness we had purchased a backpack earlier.

We did the long walk home which took nearly 2 hours, sore feet by the end of it but a great way to orientate ourselves with the city. We had a couple of hours reading and relaxing and then our friend Catherine joined us for dinner. She has just moved to Adelaide to live and we had seen her a month ago in Melbourne on her way down from Brisbane. We did a simple dinner of BBQ beef and salad then walked around the local streets which had some beautiful old houses.Read more
