Days 53 to 56. August 9 to August 12, all in 2013.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, all spent in lovely Adelaide....wot have I done wrong in my life to deserve this? All one hears or reads about is about The Crows or The Power, but then again the weather has been fairly kind, although the wind has been quite cool. Temperature in the high teens.

Mary and Phil are great hosts and have ensured that both of us have consumed way too much alcohol, eaten too much and drunk too much coffee. We had dinner out at the Willunga Hotel (very nice) and Russell's Pizza joint, also in Willunga and also very nice.

Had coffee at Seaford, Aldinga, Noarlunga and McLaren Vale. Although we had a look around The Vale we did NOT go to one winery or cellar door. We bought our wine at whatever bottle shop we were at! We also had long walks along the beach at Port Willunga which were very pleasant and bracing!

Watching the last three quarters of the Geelong v Power game on Saturday was bitter/sweet. What the hell was the last quarter all about. The other house guest here, Aggie, is a staunch Power supporter, so failing to finish them off and allowing them to dominate that last quarter took some wind out of my sails...but then again, not much!

Overall it has been a very pleasant four days or so but we are looking forward to moving on towards home tomorrow. We'll see how far we get.
