We arrived in Adelaide yesterday afternoon after a leisurely morning in Cairns. It was a pretty flight, seeing the landscape of the coast and rainforest melt into the outback desert. Although the area we're staying in Adelaide is a pretty generic cityscape, after walking through the city's parks and restaurants we can say that it is a beautiful city. The landscape surrounding it reminds me a lot of southern Africa, with scrub forest and green farms surrounded by red dirt and brown hills.
We spent our first afternoon wandering through the botanical gardens and checking out a couple rooftop bars that were a little too cool and trendy for us, but had some good local wine recommendations!
Today we spent the day on a wine tour of the Barossa valley. Its a beautiful area with what looked like hundreds of wineries, although we visited only four - more than enough, considering that most gave us at least 6 and one let us sample up to 15 wines. I am impressed with the tour's planning and guide that I am able to write a coherent blog post! We met some wonderful people along the way from all over the world and enjoyed some good wine, more great views and even a winery with some dogs ready for tour folks to throw their ball!
Tomorrow we'll be wandering Adelaide until it's time for the plane to our next adventure - cage diving.
