We all went intending to have genuine Aussie fish and chips for dinner, since we were beside the sea. But the restaurant was a steak bar and their steaks were spectacular, so the girls had to succumb to temptation. They had a 1 kilo rump challenge, in which you got your meal for half price and a free tee shirt if you could knock it off in 30 minutes. I am sure I would have been up for the challenge on another day, but I ordered the more delicate serving of porterhouse instead. It was a tasty meal and a bit easier on the pocket than the night before!
Earlier in the day, Janet and I went on a tour of the Haighs chocolate factory. It was interesting to watch everything being hand made and decorated (and to sample of course!) There are Haighs shops everywhere in Adelaide.
While we were there, Allan did the museum and Phil took a train ride. Allan had earlier walked up to 'Light's Vision Lookout' with views overlooking the city and Adelaide Oval.
I’ve mentioned before how friendly the locals are – it is amazing how welcoming and willing to go out of their way they are. It will be a lasting memory of Adelaide for me.
The other memorable thing is the structure of the town, with the four terraces around the city centre and then parks all around. There is the free tram across from the North to the South Terrace, and a free bus that goes around the big square, so they have made it really easy for tourists to get around. There are statues and art works all around the city so it’s a lovely place to visit, although I’d probably say that a week is enough to see most of the things you would want to see.
