Six December days in Adelaide

Six December days in Adelaide Despite living in Australia my whole life, until last week, I had not visited the state of South Australia. Not even its capital, Adelaide-affectionately nicknamed “Radelaide”. The city has a bit of a reputation for being boring and quieter than the big cities on the east coast, and having a strange timezone that is not a complete hour(s) off other cities, but rather by half an hour.

Had to grab a photo of this beautiful opal, the jewel South Australia is often known for hotos of food aren’t always appetising, but I need you to know this pie was good. Hello, Jess! (with her shopping, hehe) Me and Jess Lovely handmade craftwork was on display around the town Inside of a candy shop, because I can’t help myself… Happy with my cushion purchase. Pure coincidence that my pants match my hotel chairs That was a great rice bowl! Kitchen 2C was a cozy spot too Rundle Mall at night, with Christmas lights You could go to the second level of the Mortlock Chamber, and even sit and read or study if a table was available I had been meaning to visit the city a few years ago but that didn’t end up happening. I chose to go at this time of the year because I wanted a short...
