We're in Adelaide for a few days. We came down here for Diane's Sister-in-law's 80th birthday. Upon arrival here, he heard that the dear lady ended up in Intensive Care in Warrnambool and is unable to make it to Adelaide. But our daughter Carol is, so we'll have another cultural weekend down here.
We had a very pleasant 2 1/2 hour flight on Thursday
Our hotel is right next door to the Adelaide Casino, so on Thursday night we went there for a buffet dinner and dessert.

This morning, we strolled up to Rundle Mall with a stop for Brunch at the local shopping centre. It is absolutely freezing down here which is weird as a few years ago when we were here it was 45 Deg C. I wonder if they have any 'normal' days down here.

The piggies are still in the mall, although they've moved. The pig artwork is called 'A Day Out' by artist Marguerite Derricourt.

The Blogger insisted of visiting David Jones in Rundle Mall and I discovered this strange couple having coffee at DJ's cafeteria.
We then walked over a new bridge from North Terrace to the Adelaide Oval. A very pretty walk,

Our daugher Carol arrives tonight to join us. So more tomorrow. Maybe.
Really pleased to hear that the pigs stayed. They were going to get rid of them when the mall was renovated. i don't remember the couple at the table. It is great. Freezing cold here too.
