Adelaide

We flew over to Adelaide yesterday morning. When we were checking out of the hotel in Melbourne, I asked if Adelaide was in the same time zone as Melbourne. The guy at the desk said, "No, they're 30 minutes behind." Bill and I thought he was kidding! Who ever heard of a time zone change of 30 minutes??? Guess what, he wasn't kidding! Funny, huh?

We took a shuttle to our hotel and were surprised to see that it's like a one bedroom timeshare. We have a full kitchen (including dishwasher) and a washer and dryer right in the unit. We've given the laundry a good workout already. (Christian, we're just like you. The first thing we did after checking in was start a load of wash!) Today was our FREE day in Adelaide, and I mean that in more ways than one. First, we took a free guided walking tour of downtown, followed by a free hop-on/hop-off bus around the perimeter of the city. We hopped off the bus to visit the Museum of South Australia (free), the Botanic Garden (free), and the Wine Museum (free.) Now we're at the public library, using their free wifi internet access. If we can find a place that serves a free dinner, we'll go there. If not, we'll go to the casino where the dinners are half price!
