Hi everybody back again, hope you are not yet bored with our trip.
24th Jan
We went to the Adelaide zoo in the morning to see the new pandas from China, nearly left stuart there, but they would not have him. We then made our way to see the Down Under cycle race around the city, which was 20 laps approx. 90kms ,where were you Allen. Had a very exciting finish to the race with the main pack of riders catching 3 who had broken away , by clawing back 35 seconds in 3 laps.Felt exhausted just watching.Went out to a Greek restaurant in the evening.

We left Adelaide today for Melbourne.Its a lot cooler here ,only 31c degrees.Very spoilt a the Crown Towers hotel , large suite , a TV in the sitting room, in the bedroom and even a TV in the bathroom. You could stop in your room all day and if you get bored just go down to the casino or choose 1 of the 16 restaurants to eat in.
