... in our crates. This meant Des had to bring an electric drill to unscrew the crates so the Customs Officer could have a look inside. We asked what it was he was looking for, I couldn&#8217;t imagine what we could possibly be smuggling out of SA.

I started looking to some relief teaching work quite soon which proved to be harder than I thought it would. I think I gave my resume to over 40 schools before I started ...

After the tour, we had a walk around Adelaide to stop ourselves feeling completely sick. I then booked myself a ticket to go and watch Adelaide United v Newcastle Jets at 'soccer' tomorrow night.
