The Bay

The huge weekend in Adelaide was made all the more special by being able to stay at Kass and Konrad's unit at the Bay. Great unit, terrific location, and a personal welcome from Kass. For those of you not familiar with Adelaide, its history started here - Holdfast Bay, now known as Glenelg. A great palindrome it may be, but a pretty strange "bay", in that it seems to me a straight coastline.

The rotunda stands grand, amidst all the new unit development.

The jetty was all mine for the early morning walk. It was gorgeous, although I prefer Brighton jetty!

Here is the lovely Kass. Not only did we get to enjoy a lovely long chat on Friday night, but also the Central Markets on Saturday morning. Those familiar with Adelaide know all about them. Those that don't? Well, you wish you lived there. And the history is terrific. I've read the Wakefield Press book "the Market"!

Loved these preserved fruits, but I bought cheese instead. For Kim's 60th. But any excuse is good enough to shop here. Now it is a mix of veges, cheese, specialities. When I was a kid, I just loved the lolly stalls, and we used to buy spitballs.

Kass and I bought what we needed, had yum cha, loaded the goods into the trolley and caught the tram back to Glenelg. Perfect urban living, if you ask me. Perfect friend too :-)
