ADELAIDE!

I made it to Adelaide from the 14th to the 19th of April. Stayed with Subi. I even scored mighty cheap tickets with Tiger Airways (which is a very unreliable service by the way - shall elaborate on it in another post)!

Adelaide is truly purrrdy! It's very laid back as compared to Melbourne. It has a very small city. Public transport is pretty straightforward with mostly buses running around the suburbs towards the city.

Adelaide has a good feel about it. Very cool artsy stuff dot the city and they have some interesting installation pieces around the main city itself.

I walked about the city on my own and had amazing pancakes at this little pancake place calledthe original pancake kitchen.

The Rundle Mall is probably the most popular landmark in Adelaide city. If you get lost, just get back to Rundle Mall!

Amazingly, the nightlife in Adelaide is pretty exciting! I visited an awesome nightclub calledcasablabla thanks to Daniel. We also did hit a few salsa bars. By the way, men in Adelaide are far more liberal with their compliments!

I met up with Debra who took me to an amazing little cafe for breakfast. It was a good catch up.

Sharanya came down from Exeter, UK and we met up the day before her brother's graduation. She was lovely enough to show me around a bit of Adelaide as she's had the pleasure of schooling there. She took me to Glenelg, which is a lovely place by the sea. It was only one train ride away. and had the most amazing sunset view ever!
We then went for her brother's law graduation the following morning at the university of South Australia.

The next day Jean took me to this cute little kitschy cupcake shop called the aviary where we sat back and had loads of tea!

basically that was my short and sweet trip to Adelaide. Seems like a place I would like to revisit soon! Thanks to Subi for putting me up for those few days!
