Adelaide

Got the Overland train from Spencer Street to Adelaide Keswick. It was ok, but I didn't think it was as good as the standard Countrylink trains I've been travelling all year on to be honest. Everybody was packed into 1 carriage and I was sat next to a tall Dutch bloke, instead of having at least 5 seats to myself. At least the buffet car was most excellent, more like an airport lounge, so after sleeping for about 3 hours, I spent the rest of the morning drinking free tea in that place. At Adelaide station, there was literally nobody about, until this girl who looked like Jennifer Connelly turned up and took a couple of us to the Blue Galah hostel.
This place was very good, nice rooms, nice beds, small kitchen and best of all very centrally located.
Now everybody I've ever spoken to (except 2 people in the past 3 days funnily enough) do not like Adelaide - apparently there is NOTHING there. Personally I was looking forward to visiting the city...I've found Adelaide women to be the only Aussie's who are actually impressed by my English accent! And it turns out there are a few things there! a decent shopping mall for all your purchasing needs and quite a lot of amazing classical architecture. The Art Gallery, State Museum and Library are also first class. So are the botannical gardens, despite the fact that I was approached by some old bloke who was rather odd and specialised in discussing all kinds of x-rated topics. My advice is don't listen to people who diss Adelaide, it's worth it for the free internet in the library if anything.
