Days 56- 58(Thurs 24/9 - Sat 26/9)

Thursday: we decided to chance the weather. Grabbing our allweather jackets and umbrellas we set off down the road to explore Adelaide city centre and the tram to Glenelg and Jetty Rd.
We soon discovered on asking some very friendly locals at the bus-stop that here your not charged by the section but by 2hr or daily tickets for all public transport. So we bought a ticket to ride the bus' and trams all day. We rode the tram to Glenelg which is a beach suburb on a very windy overcast day. Here we walked the jetty and square, visited the museum(very interesting), walked the Jetty Rd shops and had lunch.We returned by tram to the city centre and walked along Rundle Mall,stopping to look at the different sculptures there as well as the shops. One famous group are the 4 pigs - see picture.
We returned to the bus with barely a drop of rain all day having carried our rain jackets and umbrellas all day ! The first time we hadn't needed them this week!!
Friday was predicted to be a very cold day with bad storms so we decided to have a lazy day in the bus. Just as well!
Saturday was spent at Port Adelaide and the bay. We visited the Seahorse Farm and spent quite a bit of time there. Very interesting and great to watch. The owner Tracey and staff were always on hand to answer questions,explain and generally talk with you about the seahoses and farm. There were lots of new ponies(babies) even 1 born while we were there and many ready to mate, or doing the mating dance. A great place to visit,we thought...
Amanda you must take the children when you're here next week !!
We drove around the Port and out to Semaphore but it was too windy, cold and rainy to get out and enjoy the beach and foreshore activities so we drove along the coastal suburbs and back to the park.

For anyone coming to Adelaide and looking for a c'van park we would recommend the Adelaide Caravan Park as it is central to everything.
