At Adelaide

---

Hi all
We are at Adelaide Shores for a week. It is a great caravan park, right on a white sandy beach, and close to the city and airport.
I went to the dentist on Friday morning and had my tooth fixed in 20 min - amazing! Didn't cost enough to claim insurance .
We then both went to the doctor next door, to see about getting repeats of pills here. That was a mission, as some pills are different with nothing similiar. One of my pills (Nicotinic acid for you Cameron!), I take 1/2 a pill a day 50mg, I would have had to cut the nearest equivalent into 10, so we said forget it! The chemist has had to order in Chris' ointment, so we will stay here until it arrives, some time next week. We are also waiting for the registeration papers for our car to arrive from NZ - Hamish is sending them over, as it needs to be reregistered. We both also went to the hairdressers and had haircuts. All these shops within 5 min of our caravan park.
Also close is a huge mall with outlet shops, so we went there and got Chris some more clothes.
We drove down the coast on Thursday , exploring most beaches down to Maslin Beach, by Maclaren Vale.
The yacht club is only 200m from our van park, so we went for a walk this morning on the beach, and watched lots of little yachts going out sailing. It is beautiful here. There is even 2 golf courses over the road.
We have some nice neighbours here, have a car the same as ours and a bigger van. Chris and Trevor have talked "cars" quite a bit. They are from Brisbane and have been on the road 18 months. We are having drinks with them tonight. It's 24 degrees inside the van, sunny with about 5 - 10 k of wind. Chris is sitting outside , under the awning reading his book, we have enjoyed having a quiet day, getting washing up to date etc. Will do some more exploring tomorrow, around Adelaide.
Lots of lovely rose gardens here too - I've decided they look so good because there is not so much wind as in NZ.
No photos today as I haven't downloaded them yet.
Cheers Lynne

Nice !
What a lovely spot you seem to be in - may tempt you to stay a bit longer. Good to hear your tooth is sorted. Enjoy!

Great spot here
We had an electrical storm this morning, it rained for under an hour. Chris got out in it and washed the van and car! Water is in such short supply here. Very sorry to hear that Brett Burton has had a cycling accident on the Coromandel. He has spinal and head injuries and is in Auckland hospital. He has had such a lot of bad luck since coming from South Africa.
