Day 47 - The day with no chocolate factory, but a lot of chocolate!


We got ready and had plans to go look around town so made in that direction. As it’s Sunday there were a few closed shops but the vast majority were open for us. We were looking for a couple of books but weren’t having much luck as they all cost about 3 times as much as they do anywhere else in the world!

We had some lunch; well Danny had a Hungry Jacks burger and Corrie got her hands on a rival to the Byron Bay world’s best chocolate thick shake. Let us expand on this mind-blowing drink: it was a thick, cold, ice-creamy shake topped with loads of chocolate chunks and a huge dollop of chocolate ice-cream… the way to a girl’s heart (well Corrie’s at least!) It was from a place called Wendy’s and we think there might be more of them so our eyes will be peeled.

We then continued the book hunt in Target where we were still having no joy until Danny found a trolley cage filled with the very two books we were after; the price was $12 each which was a bargain here so we snapped them up and ticked that off our to-do list.

Next it was onto anything free that we could do in Adelaide so we went bargain hunting. We found the Museum of South Australia and so went for a wander round here. This turned into quite a long wander as there was quite a lot to look at; from aboriginal artefact and history, to sea creature and land animal exhibitions. This kept us entertained for a while before we decided to head back to the hostel.

We pottered back whilst popping in and, rather quickly, back out of restaurants in search of a cheap meal for tea. We eventually found a nice looking place that had a deal on with two meals for $20 so we settled here for tea.

After tea it was back to the hostel to do computer stuff, as we’d not be online for the next few days, and pack our bags ready for the 06:00 pick up tomorrow morning.
