Beautiful building, happens to be a chocolate shop
Just in case anyone's wondering what happened to Bali, most of the pics are on the sony
which i left in Adelaide. so you will all get Adelaide and Melbourne, followed by Bali !
Doh !


After a day in in Singapore airport and a cracking flight,(watch the Departed, great film),over it was in to Aus.

Having managed to completely cock up meeting Auntie Cath and Family,(didn't think to give her my mobile til after i'd landed for example),my day turned around nicely around lunch when Cath and co rescued me from the zombie backpackers and toke me to Glenelg for Lunch, i even tried squid in batter !

Having bought most of the market in Adelaide , she and Shane threw a fantastic BBQ, which was throughly drink sodden and finished off with trad Irish music from one Mr Malarkey o Reilly. fantastic evening.

the following days saw us go to McClaren vale for wine tasting and lunch , which any half decent middle class English person would kill to do, every week !

roof top pool ! East Midlands has a duck pond
swim off Henley Beach, probably my fav spot in Adelaide,oh and visited a German village,(Hahndorf), not a deck chair to be found !

Not enough time to go to Kangaroo Island and hiring a car to drive to Melboune was mad expensive so finished off with an 11 hour bus trip to Melbourne

Huge thanks go to Cath, Shane,Sarah, Emma and co for allowing me to take over their easter weekend,even though they had a complete idiot for a nephew, they never wavered.

If i look tired on some pics its cos i didn't sleep for well over 24 hours on the first day!

God bless them all
