Adelaide - The arrival

Can't believe we've been in sunny Adelaide for over a week now and left all the cold, wet and snow behind. The temperature here is between 24 and 30 most days but peaked at 38.8 yesterday.

We've visited the seaside(Brighton), where we paddled and made sand-castles decorated with shells

Spent a few hours walking round the wildlife park at Cleland where we fed the kangaroos and wallabies
Yesterday, to escape the heat (39) we went to Westfield Shopping Centre and caught a glimpse of the Tour Down Under (cycling). and in the evening watched a cricket match at the Oval

Enjoyed a picnic lunch in the Botanical Gardens and fed the ducks.


On Sunday, after a lovely meal out at the Belaire Hotel we toured the hills area visiting 'opens' looking for the sort of properties we would love to buy next year once we get our Visa an come to live here permanently! Much of the spare time has been spent playing with our two lovely granddaughters or lazing in or by the pool.
