At all other ports the cities are very close by but, the city of Adelaide is a 40 minute ride. We were picked up by a double decker bus and we sat up front. Unfortunately our guide who was showing us different points of interest sat right behind us talking very loudly into the microphone.
Her voice grated on our nerves and we were glad to get off the bus.
In the terminal as well as throughout the city, there are people wearing turquoise shirts and white hats and you can ask them anything and they are more than willing to give you directions and information on just about everything. Here are some photos of the volunteer welcomers.
Need a ride somewhere close by? This guy can bring you right to it.
Adelaide is not a particularly busy city. As you can see by the amount of puzzle magazines on the rack, they have lots of time on their hands it seems.
We have also seen such assortments even in Tahiti and all the other stops we made. They are big on puzzles down under!
I can't understand why the city paid for this kind of art.
We wandered around the shops in Adelaide. Prices like everywhere else seem high but it was a nice visit.
We really did not want to take the bus back and we were told there is a train service right to the port so we found the railway station in the city and in less than 30 minutes got back to the ship. (It was the end of the line)
Tonight we sail for Freemantle (Perth) I need to find out why they changed the name. It will take us
3 full days and nights to get to it. Australia is huge!!!
