Oops!!

The skies were cloudy when we awoke, but the puddles had dried up overnight.  Our first stop was a combination of quilt shop and cache!  Heading east to an area called Magill we arrived  about 9am.  As the quilt shop was not yet open, we walked over to a small park to find a cache.  There was a bit of drizzle at this point, but it had stopped by the time we returned to the quilt shop.  After purchasing some fat quarters for the Aussie quilt for Carol and a panel for Pam we set off for the beach as the sun was peeking out through some blue patches.

The Glenelg area is the historic beach for the Adelaide area.  The drive takes roughly half an hour. That's when the ooops happened....I (Pam) drove a little too far to the left and broke the side mirror of our rental.  Oh well...I was doing really well until then.  After trying to find our way around without a specific map, we returned to the original parking lot and found the information booth.  Setting off again, we found West Beach just north of Glenelg.  Decided on a walk on the hard packed sand.  Proceeded back to the Glenelg end strolling for half an hour before turning around and returning to the car.  Drove for another 20 minutes before heading back towards the city.

Once back at the motel, we parked the car and found the free tram to the city just a block from here.The tram took us to the Rundle Mall which is the main shopping/restaurant/entertainment area of Adelaide.  Stores everywhere from small boutiques to the large department stores.  After strolling the length of the mall, found a small cafe for dinner.  Leaving the cafe, we headed for North Terrace to view the historic buildings along this street--University of Adelaide, Art Gallery, Government House, and the train station.  As the sun was still shining and the weather warm, we opted to walk back to the motel, just to be outside. 7 caches found today.
