Adelaide: the retroactive post

Victoria Square fountain...at night!

And away we go with reliving the weekend...




The City of Churches did not disappoint. There were pleanty.



The statue that started the post, this time in full light.



Statue at Light Square, named after an early exporer who made it to Adelaide.




The World War One memorial was very moving. The soldiers in front of the angel gave a very vivid image of war. In the inside of the statue was a room with the names of all the Australians who died in WWI.




The Torrens River was very beautiful and peaceful. It made for a nice place to walk along over the weekend.



Water fountain in the Torrens.



The cellar at the National Wine Centre. Missing from this scene is the sign that should read "Welcome to Heaven."



Since they wouldn't allow me to live there, I settled for a glass of Shiraz. It was delicious.




Day 2 saw me head down to Glenelg, where there is a...Rocky Beach! Ah, just like home!



This was actually in front of an office for beachfront houses. I love Australia...



Believe it or not, this is before the match, when I was actually looking forward to seeing the Bombers play. I looked pretty much the same afterwards, because of the beforementioned beatodwn (see previous post).


Forget about curses, my traveling gnome made the trip down to Adelaide, so he gets to make an appearance on the blog.

thats about all for now, possibly more photos from the trip forthcoming, but maybe not till I return home.

Its getting close...

See you soon,

Alan
