Adelaide

26th June 2013

We spent much of the first part of the day following things up regarding the car and the break in at Coober Pedy. Firstly we drove out to Prospect, just on the other side of the CBD to have the front window replaced. While we waited we wandered around and checked out the area and found a good coffee stop along the way.

When we were walking back to get the car we said hello to an elderly Greek man who was doing some gardening in his front yard and shortly after we were on our way with a freshly cut branch full of Mandarins from one of his trees, which was really nice.

After collecting the car we drove into the city centre, found a carpark and walked around the city centre. Our first stop here was the NAB Bank where Rach was hoping to find out if her replacement bank card had arrived. No such luck I'm afraid with the teller advising that its on its way but won't be here until Friday, which gives us one more day than we had planned to see the sights of Adelaide, which is good.

We then went on to explore Rundle Mall and some of the shops, where the girls picked up a new track suit each, we also grabbed some lunch and found the Blackebys Old Sweet Shop (the oldest sweet shop in SA), where we treated ourselves to some sweet treats.

The afternoon was spent at the Adelaide Zoo which was excellent. The highlight was getting to see the 2 Giant Pandas, Wang Wang & Funi, which are the only Giant Pandas in the Southern Hemisphere, which the girls were pretty excited about.

When we got back to Terry & Cindy's place we were once again treated to a great meal and we enjoyed another good night catching up, filling them in on the days events and planning a trip to the hills tomorrow.
