Day 2
Slept through the night, woke up and headed for Mount Lofty where we were suppose to see the whole of Adelaide from the hill, but due to the fog we couldn’t get a glimpse of even the koala hugging the tree 50m away from us. It was an exciting trip nonetheless because I get to spend time with my friends, and new friends!
Next destination was Mt Barker where we bumped into the strawberry farm that made Beerenberg jam, and later a German town called Hahndorf which has lots of historical buildings.
The must-eats when you’re in Hahndorf (according to the big eater): FUDGE, GERMAN SAUSAGES AND GERMAN CAKES. And we ate just that.
Headed to the city that night to see the night life of Adelaide: Rundall St, the happening place! (Melbourne’s Bourke St) – in a train as long as 1 carriage, cute!
Day 3
Took a trip to Port Adelaide only to know that it does not open on Saturdays. Went to the city for lunch at a Noodle Shop (味千) and then to Coles to buy some groceries, because we’re making our own pizza dinner!
Later that night we self-karaoke using the computer till it’s time to sleep.. FUN FUN FUN!
Day 4
Went back to Port Adelaide and boarded the dolphin cruise, but we were almost frozen by the chilly gusts! Sze Yin then invited me to her house for steamboat, thanks to ZW and YY!!
Day 5
Slept over at Sze Yin’s house and Wii boxing and tennis in the morning. Headed towards Barossa Valley to the wineries and cellar doors for wine tasting!! They all smelled wonderful, but taste the same – don’t know how to taste la..
Day 6
I decided to walk around the city and to my surprise, i actually circled the city of Adelaide on foot in just 3 hours! Of course that includes sight seeing and snapping photos. The botanical garden was my favourite and again to my surprise i notice how similar Adelaide city is to Melbourne.
- Melbourne city centre, like Adelaide’s, is gridded and systematic.
- Adelaide’s North Terrace, the equivalent of Swanston St has 2 universities, Royal Melb/Ade Hospital, Royal Women’s Hospital, a botanical garden and an ANZAC shrine.
- The Shopping Street (Rundall in Adelaide and Bourke in Melbourne)
We then went for movie at night at Westfield. We watched Ice Age 3 at the 3D cinema, this time with the polarized glasses!!!! It was FANTASTIC!
That’s not all, we then went for supper at China Town after the cinema. Although the food wasn’t satisfying, but I’m glad I get to make 2 new friends!
Day 7
Today, thanks again to Bryan who drove us there, we went to Victor Harbour, south of Adelaide. We first had our lunch at a nearby restaurant where I had KANGAROO FILLET!!! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME EATING KANGAROO MEAT! It was okay but I still prefer chicken. Not a very good experience because the biggest piece was rather rare.. :(
Victor Harbour was breathtaking. They even have horse-driven carriages to bring visitors across the bridge!
OK, too long so these are the remaining photos taken at Victor Harbour:
Day 8
Nothing much, went to Big W for window shopping with gen and bryan.. then went back home for a rest.. good long rest.. whoa.. 享受!
Day 9
Bryan drove us to Glenalg, Adelaide’s version of St Kilda St, where there’s a tram route in between the road leading to the famous beach.. The Glenalg Beach!
After strolling along the route to the beach in the cold breeze, we went to the Chocolate Bar on Jetty Road just near Glenalg Beach and indluge ourselves in CHOCOLATES!!!!!!!!! We had chocolate drinks and chocolate fondue.. my heart melted when i sat there and relax..
We ended our night with a banquet at a Japanese restaurant in China Town (Wasai) having lots of.. well, rare food.. scrumptious!
Day 10
It’s my last day in Adelaide. We went to Pancake Steak house in the city for dinner and then went for karaoke for 2 hours.. had a blast for the last time! Gonna stay up late coz i’ll be leaving at 6 am to the train station at Keswick (read as CARE-SIK)..
Last but not least, thank you Bryan, Genieve, Janice, Emily and Chloe for being good hosts during my sojourn in Adelaide. The most precious thing i get in Adelaide apart from the rest is the friendship that I make, knowing good people like you all! I wish we’ll meet again soon!
P/S: This is just for my record.. it’s too long to even read it so hopefully i’ll read it when I’m walking down the memory lane (old) HAHA.. pics will be posted in Facebook Adelaide album!
