Tuesday 30 January. Rest day in Adelaide.

Today weather was clear and sunny all day and temperatures up to 30C.

After breakfast round the corner we did our washing at the Hotels Guest Laundry. Then some shopping in the main shopping street and down south of the town centre to visit a Bike Shop Peter W had found during his 6 days in Adelaide.

We then went across the River Torrens flowing through Parkland to the north of the CBD (Downtown) We then went to a hill just north of the Adelaide Oval Cricket Ground for views over the City. We visited St Peters Church and were given a special history lesson when the custodians learned 2 of our group came from the South West of England as much of the Churches oak wood had been specially imported from Exeter.

Then across to the Botanical Garden and lunch in its Caf?.

In the evening I met up with a second Cousin who lives in Adelaide while the others went out to a nearby Thai Restaurant.
