Allo Adelaide


It's eeky to hang out at airport lounges and be cooped up in meetings all day. I'll positively DIE from cabin fever. I'm not a fan of hard work. When I stepped out of the car, smelt the breeze and saw the hint of blue, I squealed. In my dazed state, I didn't realize Adelaide has a beach this near to the city centre. :P

It was a very nice stroll at sunset along the beach. It had been a cloudy day and there wasn't a brilliant display of colors at dusk. But sitting by the beach was rejuvenating. Okay, add a cold pint to that and it's picture perfect. Heh.

This Jetty Road at Glenelg is quite fancy. I guess they've developed it till it feels kind of commercialized, and too sanitized. That's probably why I didn't see any COCKATOOS. I've lumped them into the category of annoying flying things like pigeons and seagulls. Muaahahahha. I was hoping to get a massage or facial at the Jurlique day spa. But they close so early during the week- hopes dashed.

I love the spacious bars and restaurants along the strip. They just look like great places to be chilling out. But they're rather empty. I suppose it's a weekday, so the crowds aren't exactly filtering in. The range of food along this stretch doesn't seem so great. Some sort of fish and chips, but alot of odd Japanese and Chinese eateries that I'm not interested in. Some of the restaurants look quite shite. But this one, Esca, looks really good. A pity there's isn't a slot for me to try its food. I had a decent cappucino from it!
