Journal:
We had a slow start to the day and enjoyed a home-cooked breakfast, for a change, before going for a walk around the downtown area including paths along the River Torrens, the Adelaide Oval, Rundle Mall, Pilgrim Uniting Church (where my sister was minister for a number of years) and the lively and interesting Central Markets full of appetising food and fresh produce stalls (and where COVID-19 seemed to be a distant memory).
We bought some scrumptious rolls from one of the market vendors and took them to the very pleasant Victoria Square where we joined scores of office workers eating lunch on a beautiful spring day. After lunch, we caught a tram to the city's main beachside suburb, Glenelg, and had a wander around before returning to the city and collecting our serviced bikes from the shop near our apartment. No major problems were found, which is a testament to the quality of the bikes given the pounding they have received over the past 8,000 kilometres with virtually no maintenance.
We had another home-cooked meal for dinner and a quiet evening. Back on the road tomorrow.
