Adelaide Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Wednesday 6th May We have been having early mornings everyday, but there is where it starts to get stupidly early!! I had some left over noodles from when we went out to dinner on Monday night, so breakfast at 5.30am was singapore noodles and jam on toast mm mm!! New tour guide Amanda and new group again, we have created a little crew now of peo...

After such heat in the desert the last few days, we were looking forward to Adelaide and its cool sea breeze, how nice it would be to finally reach the under 40's... Our dreams of the seaside evaporated quickly in the scorching sun when we heard on the radio that Adelaide was in the grips of the worst heat wave in 70 years! In Adelaide we met Hé...

Here are a couple of shots from the trip here. We finally got out passports back from Ottawa the day before our flight, but that is another story. Arriving in Vancouver, we had overnight to get ready for our year away. As always, I new that I had forgotten a lot of things, but oh well, it was too late now. However, in hindsite, there is a lot of...

As much as I revel in the present I spend a lot of time staring into the proverbial blue sky of my future. I've always probed the near and long-term prospects of life, as far back as I can remember. Even now, when I consider what I have in front of me I recall that much of it was in my mind years ago. The other night, as I served a party of 20 c...

Hey Everyone, First, I would like to address a comment about my last blog that a few people have made.  Now, I did not ride a fairy for 45 minutes because we all know... "That **** ain't right" and I'm not near SF anymore.  The correction to ferry has been made.  Thanks Mom and Mike ... you wise ass.  Next, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while...

Leaving town around 7am we had another whole day on the road to look forward to as we continued south to Adelaide. Three of the people on the bus yesterday had liked Coober Pedy so much they had decided to stay and look for work, or opals, or work looking for opals. Passing a few road trains and one ordinary later we were soon passing the Flinde...

Day 1 Having demolished some bacon sandwiches and a cup of coffee we were ready to get on the road and get to Adelaide as soon as possible. The route took us through Port Augusta, but with our 'Rough Guide' suggesting there was little to do there we only stopped for diesel before continuing through the increasingly 'English' countryside to the c...

Great journey! I rent a Hyundai Getz and did the famous Great Ocean Road that run along the coast, with a break for a trip inland to see the Grampians National Park. First night in Mt.Gambier I met a guy from HongKong and we went around and for wine tasting the next day. Then, in Grampians I met Fergal (Irish) and Angela (English). They were met...

Well it's been a while since I've sent anything out, so this part of my trip actually happened at least three weeks ago. And I skipped right to Adelaide and didn't talk about my time with Megs and JD, which I will get back to...eventually. After leaving Robina to early morning farewells from Megs and JD (yes, he got out of bed sometime before 6 ...

The free apple pie with icecream at the hostel last night was good; not homemade but with enough for two helpings Dominik, Jorgen and I were quite happy we picked this backpackers. I met some Korean guys and a German girl after dinner that were all trying to teach me some basic Korean. Yes, even the German girl was giving me pointers on pronunci...
