Hindley street is like a dense version of Copenhagen's “Strøget” with noise, people, buskers and shops. I have to walk up and down it a few times just to see it all. The Christmas decorations are a reminder of the holidays but I find it very hard to get in the spirit of it, mostly because of the lack of cold weather and snow. Funny thing is there are snow-related decorations around, but what meaning would that actually hold to an Australian around Christmas time? Just a silly thought I have while I take some pictures of the pig statues. Wait a minute, pig statues?I pretty much spend a whole day just walking around and as it turns out, Adelaide is not a big city, for some reason I thought it would be. It does have a great deal of suburban areas and the next day I go to one in particular, Glenelg.
It’s basically a beach area and it’s beautiful White sand and blue ocean, but that seems to be a repeating thing here in Australia, beautiful beaches everywhere. I stroll around Glenelg for a bit in the amazing sunny weather, and then later get picked up by Suzy, a friend of a friend who lives here. She picks me up in a ute and takes me to the golf course to meet with a few other friends.
I have never golfed before in my life but we end up having a good time. I'm pretty rubbish at it but the company is heaps of fun. It’s basically me and a bunch of girls, all of us newbies at golf to some degree, so we play with special rules. Basically we cheat. Having tried it I still think golf is a bit boring but with the right people and the right rules you might just end up having a fun time.
I don’t do much else today, besides get a new air mattress, and write a bit on the blog. Oh yeah I also spend an hour on the phone with my phone service provider, Telstra, because the credit balance had suddenly gone to zero. They end up giving me some extra credit for the trouble. I'm leaving tomorrow and it's pretty clear to me that I have to come back. Adelaide has a lot more to offer and I have not even scratched the surface, just think of the thousands of wineries. I try to get a bit organized with my stuff and then I hit the sack.
