Oaks Liberty Towers Adelaide Glenelg

We got to Adelaide on time and then got a taxi to the hostel I booked - it is going to be Mum and Davos 1st hostel experience!! We got the taxi no probs but the taxi driver was miserable - made the journey really unpleasant! We go to the hostel and they had made a f**k-up! they had booked me in for one night in a dorm -fine. but mum and davos booking was made for the wrong day! luckily there was someone at reception who agreed to move into ...

The first side trip was to Radelaide where Benjimima (my love, oh my love, oh Benjimima oh my love, get your groove control) hosted us for a few days of sun, touching (Austrailian animals - kangaroos biceps and koala's dreadlocked bottom), wine and good times. It is now after visiting this city (town) I would like ...

... the wine took effect!  I do remember that there were some 165 yr old Shiraz vines at Langmeil which is apparently very good.  All of the wine tasted lovely and by the end of a full day of tasting in a 30 degree sun, we were a bit sozzled. We also took a trip into the city again and visited (free parts of) the Arts Museum and the South Australia Museum.  The latter had great displays on Aboriginal culture, dinosaurs, space travel and the ocean.....  Did you know that if all the ice ...

... early flight!! Adelaide has surprised us somewhat in the fact that it is a big busy city yet is still full of beauty and things to do. Plus the weather has been amazing here, hotter than anywhere else we have been to in Oz. On the first day it didn't start off to well as we had to rush and get the first aid kit for the first time on this trip. I managed to split his big toe open in the room and a quick bandage and TLC from Heather, I was soon ...

... or even more. The afternoon ended sitting and relaxing in beanbags at the porch back "home". Even after six o'clock the sun was very warm. Because of the diner the evening before with lots of wine, I felt rosy and had the best time, just dosing off. (see pictures)

... here and there). When we get to a café/restaurant or a hotel room and the day didn't drain all the energy from us, we sit together and take a look at the rough draft, polish it a little, add a few aspects that might have been neglected the first time around, select a few photos that are more representative/spectacular and then, the next time we get wireless Internet, we post it online. Overall, we would say L writes 70 percent of it and G ...

... houkuttelemana. Sydneyn ja Melbournen jalkeen Adelaidesta jai nappiin mukava maanlaheinen tunnelma, mikali tahan maahan pitaisi tulla asumaan, tama olisi varmasti yksi vahvimmista ehdokkaista asuinsijaksi. Vikan paivan illalla kavimme viela Katen seka Trentin vanhemmilla ja paljastuikin etta Katen isä työskenteli viinitilalla jonka tuotoksia lahti meidankin rinkkoissamme kohti Bangkokia. Ystavallisia, avosydammisia ausseja -mihin taalla on vahan jo paassyt tottumaankin, mahtavaa! -m

... two people.  When I got the the counter to check in I asked if there was anything she could do.  She checked... and then got a huge smile on her face.  "I'm going to hook you up," she said and grabbed my ticket and ripped it in half.  She gave me a new ticket, not only in the isle, but on an exit row!  I had foot room as far as I could reach.  I was so excited, I should have known something was going to go wrong.      The flight went ...

... visas. If only I'd known, we could have shared the drive across the Nullabor. We adjourn to the Saracen's Head - the pub in the narrow street below us. It's tipping it down as I wait at the tram terminus for Neil and Andrew. A little too sensibly, I'm wearing a coat. The lads come splashing across Victoria square in flapping beach shorts and flip flops. At the other end of the line, we exit the tram and go directly to the open fronted pub along Glen Elg's popular jetty area ...

... I have followed the coastal road and found a long string of beaches in particular Maslin Beach, which contains a serious lack of females. My mobile phone alerts me to another incoming message from Bangkok. This time the Dutchman has lost his temper and locked Nikki in a room at his new house in Pattaya - Sleazeville. She's climbed out of the window and called the fuzz. And the big man's been arrested. Her brothers are there and it ...
