Adventures in Adelaide
October 15, 2002 Adelaide, Australia

I got up in time for breakfast today. There's nothing like instant coffee, Rice Bubbles (Aussie for Rice Krispies), and all you can eat toast to start your day. Yum. It was a beautiful day today, shorts and tee-shirt weather, so it was nice to be outside for a change. After the fiasco yesterday, Lisa wanted to go see the Buffalo, a replica of a ship that sailed here from England rumored to contain a shark museum. After carefully consulting the map, I navigated us down the beach a half an hour to the town of Brighton. Upon reaching Brighton, it quickly became aparent that due to a slightly confusing marking on the map, what I thought was the Buffalo was actually Sea City Country Craft, and the Buffalo was located 5 minutes from our hostel in the oposite direction. So back we went. Luckily it was a pleasant walk, and there were dolophins swimming around just off the shore. Eventually we made it to our goal, which turned out to be quite tacky, and contained only an overpriced restaraunt and a museum with pictures of people getting married on the ship. Even though we had another fiasco on our hands, it really wasn't a wast of time, since there's nothing to do here anyway. After a quick lunch it was time for Lisa to catch her flight to Perth to look for a job, since she has four months on her visa.

Alone again, I trammed in to Adelaide to try my luck with a photo CD again. I found a place that did it for $8US, and the pictures look great. Hopefully I can post them on Friday (done). Back at the hostel I watched Austin Powers. When it was over at 9 they wouldn't put on another movie because it was "too late." So my choices were to sit in the empty bar, or go to my room to read. So here I am in the room. I'm glad I'm only here until Friday.
