Well, we will be leaving Adelaide tomorrow, after spending about 6 days in the city and surrounding regions. The hostel here is amazing - the best we have stayed at yet! It is very centrally located in what is a very small and walkable city. We like Adelaide very much - although there wasn't all that much for us to do and see within the city itself...
We arrived from Melbourne in the evening and spent a couple of nights in the hostel. We spent the first day walking around the city and basically "relaxing" (we visited 3 parks in the first day alone so Oliver was in heaven!) : )
The next day Denver went and rented a car and we set off for the Fleurieu (Floo-ree-oo!) peninsula. We spotted a seal playing in the surf off of Victor Harbour and saw countless kangaroos along the roadside. We drove around the peninsula and visited a few seaside villages and sights before spending the night in Port Elliot. We found accommodations in the upstairs portion of the town pub which was interesting!
The next morning we headed up past Adelaide to the Barossa wine region. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the summer. There were vineyards EVERYWHERE. (I think they have about 60 or so in the region.) We did a few walks and wine tastings and spent 2 nights in the local caravan park in a rented cabin, which was a lot of fun! We left this afternoon and are back in the Adelaide YHA. We will have a few more hours to spend in the city tomorrow before our final leg of the trip when we fly up to Brisbane and hopefully we will be able to finally wear some of the shorts we have packed!!!
