Early night again, but took forever to get to sleep again, with restless legs again. Sigh.
Headed out some time after nine and headed south. We ended up at Maslin Beach, which is a rather spectacular beach with colourful cliff faces around it. The water was fairly cold but we had a swim anyway so that was quite refreshing.
Then a meandering trip back north where we stopped and walked up to the Marino Rocks Lighthouse, which also has great views over Adelaide (although the lighting is all wrong because it faces north).
Made it back to the flat earlyish afternoon and had some cheese and bacon bread rolls for lunch.
Then I debated what to do. I still had some city photos I wanted to get, but I was tired, but I also didn't want to waste an afternoon of perfectly good sunshine.
In the end I hopped on a tram and went into the city. I got off at Festival Square and wandered down to the Mighty Torrens (so mighty it's mostly just a stagnent lagoon, and we drove past the outflow to the bay the other day and it doesn't even flow most of the time, probably only after storms and heavy rains). There was an AFL game on at Adelaide Oval (Port Adelaide vs Essendon) so every so often there'd be roars coming from it. Still, the walk along the river was nice (except for the heat of the day, I must be a mad dog or an Englishman) and I think I reproduced all the photos from 1969 and 1994.
Took a shortcut through Adelaide University up to Rundle Mall and dropped into Kmart to find some more pj bottoms, and couldn't help myself and dropped into Lovisa for more earrings.
Then grabbed a tram back to Glenelg, luckily securing a seat, although the seats on Adelaide trams aren't very comfortable (rock hard, too high off the ground, no leg room).
Got back to the flat just before 18:00. Stu didn't feel like going out, so we ended up having cheese and crappers for dinner.. dinner of champions! Then BBT while doing photo and gps stuff.
