Best Western Taft Motor Inn Glenelg

... then we went to something totally diff**ent Kaki King from Brooklyn for some exp**imental guitar stuff and this was followed by Ska Cubano from Cuba/Papa New Guinea/Haiti who w**e great and then Seckou Keita SKQ from Senegal again v**y good. It was scorchio that day so th**e was a lot of lying in the shade and less dancing but it was all good. That night we thought we should have some sort of fancy anniv**sary dinn** so we went for gorgeous Indian in 'The Village' on Goug** St (v ...

... would be celebrating new years day (Warrnambool was 30 minutes before us!)  Just before midnight we went onto the balcony to watch the Glenelg fireworks and peer at the drunken youths below! Our walk home involved fish and chips, lucky timing to catch the free new years bus and a helium filled rendition of the 'hokey- kokey' - a normal night out with Will and Liz! New Years Day gave us a headache, a great brekfast and sunburnt ...

... Lunch was outside for starters. Turkey and ham cooked on the barbie, beer filled the fridges and eskies (cool boxes), and salads and pastas filled the table of 31 people - to Tim's delight Brussel sprouts were nowhere to be seen! As the day went on more beer was drunk, the music turned up and the pool competition took centre stage. After a bye to the second round I lost convincingly to a lady, but in my defence she was also the eventual winner. Uncle Ken's friend Bill ...

... hotel. This is the popular Adelaide city casino. We just walked through it without gambling, but did notice that it's 'no smoking', which was a big difference from the Vegas casinos. After that we found a local pizza joint which looked delicious! We ordered a pizza to share (only USD $5) and had a scrumptious dinner, catching up on our day. It was a fun, relaxing evening in Adelaide!

... their place. A nice and comfortable home near the parks south from Adelaide centre. After a 'get to know each other talk' we had a dinner as soon as her husband Simon came back home. They've got a black cat, and I have not sneezed until now. Good sign!

... on suomalaista syntyperaa, joten juttua kotimaasta ja siita miten erilailla hommat kotona tehdaan riitti. Kavimme viidella tilalla maistelemassa viineja ja tarttuihan mukaankin pari pulloa. Nama kaunokaiset eivat yltaneet aivan Uudeen Seelannin yleistasolle, mutta muutamat herkkupalat erottuivat suloisesti edukseen. Itse pidin erityisesti Woodstock -tilan viineista. Paivan puolivalissa Alfie wokkasi meille erinomaiset kananuudelit, leikitytti seurapelit ja viimeisella tilalla ...

... things are the same (a little backwards, but the same).  There is a Starbucks and a McDonald's on the corner and most of the restaurant serve food similar to America.  To flush the toilets however, you do pull on a string above the toilet instead of the handles we are so used too.  Also, everyone eats really fast.  A dinner only takes about twenty minute and then you pay and get out.  This town is also somewhat touristy and expensive ...

... here to lift the spirits up a bit, playing pool and chess. Good fun. Tomorrow it's a 3 days tour to Kangaroo island, which can be a disaster if it rains and for later I am planning to rent a car to drive the famous Great Ocean Road. Money is not an issue for this kind of experience, do I'll go for a super powerful Hundai Getz with the monster engine of 1.3 liters, manual transmission, air conditioning, CD player and power steering.

Continued from ; Leaving Adelaide, first attempt My dorm room companions were a mixture of Argentineans, Frenchmen and South Africans - plus one obnoxious Aussie. They have all left to go their separate ways. So that the room now contains a Bulgarian, Denis. He is an interesting case. Fresh off the plane from his native eastern Europe, it's plain to see that he is like a fish out of water. He tries in vain to sleep, to ...

... town of Glen Elg. The hostel there is a huge restored Victorian mansion, about the size of four houses. 25 bucks per night is what they charge and there's no car park. But there's no alternative either. This is Glen Elg's one and only backpacker hostel. I take a room for the time being and note that there is draft Stella on tap in the bar and TV lounge. A large socialising area out the back with a weekly barbie and live music. A very good ...
