Touchdown

We got to Adelaide without incident today, getting up at 3.30am to catch a flight to anywhere is indecent in my opinion. I am tired and exhausted, but happy to have made it, eaten and watching late night news before going to bed for a new day tomorrow. We�re going shopping, I�ll be taking the camera so we can take plenty of pictures. The hire car I got is a Toyota Camry, it�s an automatic, so should be ok to use. Nice car so far, I am thinking that when we go to M & E�s place tomorrow we take the scenic route through the Adelaide hills.

Drivers in Adelaide have not changed. In Perth, we�re expected to leave breaking space, not speed towards orange lights, you know - the usual safe driving stuff. However, every time I left braking space when following M to the hotel, some driver would get in the way. In the end I had to tailgate. Whilst I am a good driver � tailgating is not something that I usually enjoy, so I�ll be avoiding the city as much as I can.

M�s comment about the city centre of Adelaide was amusing. We were driving through and he was asking where it was - The buildings aren�t so big in Adelaide in there city centre, so when I said, �this is it� M was not looking very impressed. Something else I noticed were the semi trailers being driven around in the city centre. This just does not happen in Perth, and I found it a little nerve wracking to be driving on narrow streets in the middle of a city tailgating next to a semitrailer..

So I�ll be signing off soon so that I can plan our trip tomorrow, where we�ll be going to Marion which is apparently the largest shopping centre in Adelaide. For those who are asking why am I still posting on the internet or using a computer, it�s because M is the one who despite the fact we�re in Adelaide, is still getting phone calls for work. *sigh*

I need sleep. Photo�s will be posted in the next couple of days.
