Awake half the night with restless legs. Even though the temperature was good and the bed was comfortable and the pillows were good. hrmm. Slept til like 7:46. Very slow start, out the door a bit before 11.
Walked up to the tram stop and caught the tram into the city which was a bit of fun. Took maybe 35 minutes to Victoria Square.
At the square I was trying to reproduce photos from 1969 and 1994, but firstly there was a circus with crap everywhere, but then none of the angles worked. So I Googled that crap. Turns out they fricken *moved* the fountain in 2014 from the north end to the south end.. WTF?!?
Next we wandered across to the Adelaide Central Markets. We walked all the way up and down all the avenues looking at things. Stu stopped for a coffee when we were done. Then he went to look at a book store while I had a look to see if there was anything upstairs (there wasn't) and got a chocolate (which was very expensive but very average).
It was after 13:00 by this point and we were hangry (and it was 25C and humid). Nothing really inspired at the markets and it was all too hard to decide in Chinatown. We ended up back at the markets at a place called Cumbia. We had some spritzes and some lunch of empanadas and meatballs (service was very slow so we were there for around an hour all up but at least we could sit and rest).
Popped into the lobby of our work building to get a photo next to the sign.
Then wandered all the way up to the Rundle Mall to find the pigs and the balls.
Had a walk past all the museums.
Then hopped on a tram back to Glenelg (we let the first one go because it as eight minutes late and the platform was packed, and got a seat on the tram that came a few minutes later).
It was about 17:00 by now.. probably too early for dinner.. maybe a drink though. So we went into El Mexicano and had a margarita each before ordering dinner. Stu got chilaquiles rojos and I got nachos and we ended up very very full. Whoops.
Got back to flat and did GPS/photos (iPhone is taking *forever*) then an early night (I was still full!).
