Adelaide

I have to say that we really enjoyed our time in Adelaide.  We took the train there - The Overland.  Although it was quite slow it was a very enjoyable journey.  It was roomy and relaxed.  We had drinks at the bar and had time to watch the Australian country side - no kangaroo sitings unfortunately, but plenty of sheep.  I even managed to get repeated advise from an older woman about how reading the bible would bring me wisdom. I'll post some pics of the journey in a bit.

Adelaide provided a clear contrast to Melbourne.  Adelaide is one fourth the size of Melbourne and much calmer, more laid back.  If you mention Adelaide to people here they yawn at the thought but we found it clean, pleasant and comforting some how.  The CBD is literally surrounded by parks and there are numerous squares within.  It's layout reminded me very much of Savannah. It is known as the city of churches and it is easy to see why - seems like one in every block.  No need for there to be a lost soul in South Australia.

If you blow this up you can see my reflection - taking the pic.
