We are in the "Big smoke" again, not sure if we like all these traffic lights and cars. We stayed at a big 4 caravan park which had a massive jumping pillow and games room. The weather was quite rainy and dreary, but the sun shone brilliantly on the 22nd - Matthew's 11th birthday. We caught a tram into the city and then back to Glenelg (a popular seaside village)for lunch at Hogsbreath Cafe - you couldn't wipe the smile off Matty's face. After a huge lunch, he was presented with a complimentary cocktail. He said the day had started out a "bit pear shaped, but then changed into an apple" - he had a very good day! The tram conductor was the most jovial person I have ever encountered on public transport - he was just jumping out of his skin, a great "Welcome to Adelaide". I had the wonderful opportunity to catch up briefly with an old school friend, which made my visit here very special. The last day here was again raining, blustery (all those adjectives)so I did my time in the laundry(scrubbing those grubby little socks, which really should have run away on their own by now)and had "my time" watching the clothes in the dryer go around and around (how much more money do I have to feed into this thing!)
Hello Raylene Jamie Thomas Matthew Christopher and Riley
ReplyDeleteAs we go about our domestic life in Croft Court it's lovely to log into your blog and see you all having a fantistic time on your journey around Australia. You have experienced so much and been tested by the weather conditions and survived! You all look so relaxed, you will find it a struggle to go back to your old routine when you get home.
Your photos are so beautiful, good camera and good photographer of course, the photos are so vivid on the blog it's like being there.
When Liz was home during the school holidays Terry asked Daph Barbara and myself to a morning tea for her which was very kind of her. They asked me to say hello to you all. We talked for hours of course!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Continue having a fantastic time. Best wishes
Carmel and Bill
