Adelaide and into Victoria

Girls guide to Adelaide...

Having a girls look around Adelaide while Nigel was in NZ meant shopping, shopping oh and did I say shopping!! We even managed to catch the bus and the tram, return (most importantly!) and visited the German village of Hahndorf and the Adelaide Zoo. And it was great to catch up with some friends; and make new ones! With the weather variable from cold and stormy to early 30s, we managed the beach, pool, jumping pillow at the campground and shopping (in case I forgot to mention it!) Just because we dressed up and went into David Jones at Rundle Mall to have our photo taken with Santa, didn't mean it was going to all go to plan! The queue was over 45 minutes and with a parking space of only 60 (parking for cars with a roofbox in Adelaide is just impossible) we didn't get to see Santa but played in the Santa Cave/Grotto. So of course, when we had just jumped out of the pool and into our play clothes for a quick trip to Westfield Marion, that was the day there wasn't any queues and Charlotte was keen to get up close to Santa. Typical! Still we got our photo for 2010... And, we got to console Charlotte because she didn't get the Cuddly toy she asked Santa for - who said anything about waiting... I told Santa I wanted it so I expected it now!! Best go for now, gotta keep counting down till Christmas..
