Adelaide City~ Day 4

Port Adelaide

We met Taiwanese couple Jim and Winnie at the caravan park in Adelaide. They are such an amazing couple, riding bicycle travelling from Brisbane to Adelaide for 5 months already. They are the first Asian people we saw travelling OZ on push bike. It was great meeting other travellers, sharing experiences and travel tips. So on our last day in adelaide, we invited them to join us to the Adelaide Port and Glenelg beach.

We had our breakfast at Ikea, heading to the bistro to get the 50cents hotdog (saturday special). Hehe. Harbour Town is very near to Ikea, so we went shopping after that. We really need to buy thicker clothes for autumn and winter, and Tasmania is really cold in those season. We have been sleeping in the tent for one month now, but still freezing cold at night even though it's summer!

There are many branded cheap stuff for grabs in Harbour Town, for us it is much more suitable to shop at than Rundle St. Angie found her winter suit at Espirit for $45 and Peter got his at JT Surf shop for $55. Oh great we'll be warm enough now :)

We headed to Port Adelaide*** with empty pockets. There is a Sunday market, which by the name of it only opens on Sunday (Peter can't seem to get the idea =P). So just a walk around the foreshore.

The replica ship of Endeavour at Port Adelaide. The original ship was used by Captain James Cook on his first voyage to Australia and New Zealand between year 1769 to 1771.

Next on the itinerary, Glenelg Beach****. This is by far the most touristy beach P&A had seen. Cause we are travelling from WA to SA. Winnie said, wait till you get to east coast. More tourists! It's a beautiful town, with cafes and shops catering for tourists. Can't resist a cuppa with cheesecake at Cibo again :) the sunset at the beach is beautiful, especially with the clouds.
