Our last stop was Adelaide which is where my friend Jason lives. Jason is the one that took me to watch AFL earlier in the semester. the first day we flew in and hung out at Jason's house for a bit since it was a really early flight. We headed to the Rundle Shopping Center to grab some lunch and look around while Jason had to run some errands. We ventured over to the South Australian Museum. We spent a majority of the evening looking around the museum and learning about Australian history. We headed back to Jason's side of town for some pizza for dinner and visited him at work. It was then off to bed since we were dead from getting up so early.
The next day we slept in a bit then headed over to Glenelg. It's the part with the beach! We got some ice cream and headed out to the jetty to snap some photos. It was really windy, but we didn't let that stop our fun. We headed back in to play some mini golf. There was a lifeguard competition going on so we sat and watched that for a little bit also. We then caught the tram back into town and got ready for dinner at Jason's roommates work. Both of the boys work at a pub/ restaurant. We went for drinks after at the Beer Garden which was a really neat place.
On our last day, we hit up Adelaide Zoo. We saw all sorts of animals. My favorite was the kangaroo. They had some in a petting zone so I made friends with a few. I really really want to take one home with me!!! What was neat about the zoo was they had pandas, Wang Wang and Funi. They were so cute. After the zoo it was off to the airport to head back to Newcastle. We were going to be cutting it close in order to make the train from Central Station in Sydney to our train that would take us to Newcastle. We only had 15 minutes to make it off the plane and to the train! Oh yes, we made it! Steven picked us up from the stop in Newcastle. He was leaving the next morning so it was very bittersweet.
That ends our final traveling experience before we head home...few more posts to make though. Talk soon!
