End of the road

Adelaide, Australia - Jan 07
I seem to be on a bit of a roll today so I'll just press on. We (Declan, Jules & I) made it to Adelaide just dandy. The Pintara was bombproof! Highlights of Adelaide were swimming in the Ocean (Southern Ocean - full of Great White Sharks, you can't move in the water without elbowing one in the eye or treading on another's fin) and meeting up with my dear friend Popeye who happened to be in town with my solicitor (who is also his girlfriend Catrin).

The low light was watching England get crushed in another ODI cricket match by Australia. I actually felt sorry (briefly) for the Aussie fans as they just weren't seeing a game. Most definitely the worst game I have ever witnessed. Why did I bother? At least I bought my ticket off a tout...at FACE VALUE so didn't feel I'd paid over the odds for the humiliation.

Declan modelling wife-beater. Parking on the beach seems to be the norm, which is great until you see your beloved car up to the dash board in salty water.

Popeye tucking into some spaghetti & meatballs and sporting the pro-spaghetti eaters napkin-in-collar gambit. Nice touch.

My shady solicitor. Her professional services weren't needed on this occasion but it was reassuring to have legal representation at hand. Mrs Goringe, my probation officer, would have approved.

I didn't take any pictures of the cricket. I wasn't in the mood. Sorry.
