Adelaide

There's a lot of backtracking I'll have to do to explain this last week. It started Sunday with a flight to Adelaide. Slight disaster with that one... It was daylight savings on Sunday at 3am... my flight was at 6am. I expected my phone to automatically update and wake me up at the right time. Safe to say, don't always trust technology. I ended up missing my flight.. and losing my cell phone all in one morning. So I rebooked and left for Adelaide on Monday.

Adelaide is a smaller city... it's beautiful with parks enclosing the city center. The one day I had to spend there, it was Labor Day, so on top of already being a quieter city than I am used to, it was also nearly empty because of the holiday. We were restless in our hostel with nothing to do, so a guy from Uruguay and I went walking in the city, through the Botanical Gardens, and out for a few drinks to pass the time. The gardens and parks are the pride of the city, so everything was lush green, and kept in great condition.

Other than the walks and parks, it didn't feel like there was too much going on. There must be more to do in the city, but I had just one day there and it seemed to be the right amount. At least for now.
