Adelaide, South Australia #1


Hi everyone!
Sorry for the delay in posting this next response. Busy times in Adelaide! So, we're reaching the end of our 10 day stay here. It's been great to catch up with Vanessa's friends and family. We had a "Japanese Reunion" night with a bunch of friends who have also lived in Japan and who are back in Adelaide now. The reunion was held at Vanessa's cousin's "yakitori" restaurant.....followed by the usual pubs/clubs after. Big night! We've also spent time with Vanessa's friends Tanya and Brett and have been for trips to the hills, beach, footy games with them. Lots of fun! We made a trip to Cleland Wildlife Park with Matt and Melissa to see lots of cute Aussie animals. Spent lovely times at the markets drooling over all the yummy treats there and taking in the atmosphere with Amelia and Gus. Had fun checking out a wildlife photography exhibit/vego restaurants/record shops with Luke and Carrie. Also got on the decks after a month at Noods place. Bev organised a fun dinner with a whole group of people who Vanessa hasn't seen for ages (Rory, Ly, Ciaran, Melinda and Pete) and was surprised to share a 30th birthday cake with Pete! She also kept us highly entertained during the "Australian Logie Awards"......("how embarrassing!!"). Had a lovely day with Gran, laughing about Vanessa's childhood days and scoffing lemon chessecake. Derek faced his fears at the Rodney Fox Shark Museum and Vanessa was voted loudest customer in the Lolly Shoppe.
We can't add all pictures this time (due to technical difficulties), but will add more soon. Hope you enjoy these ones! Love Vanessa & Derek xx
