We had a couple connecting flights on Virgin Australia to get from Hobart to Adelaide. When we were returning the car in Hobart, we ran into the same car rental folks at the gas station, then in the parking lot and finally at the counter. So they had verified first-hand that we had fueled up :) probably had a laugh watching us trying to find the gas cap release on the Outlander.
It was a beautiful day in Adelaide. It’s a quick 15 minute taxi to get to the CBD. We stayed at the Ibis, which isn’t our typical choice for accommodation but we just needed something functional.
We were hungry so wandered down Rundle Mall, a pedestrian mall in the heart of Adelaide CBD. It reminded us of Singapore, with the blurring between inside / outside and private / public areas. It’s mostly international chains on Rundle Mall. Ended up at Harry’s Bar, which was across multiple floors in a beautiful old building. You go there for the location, not the food or beers. Sat out on the 2nd floor patio overlooking Grenfell St and had some pub food.
Around 5pm it was starting to get chilly so went back to the hotel. The travel day had messed up our meal times, so ended up just having ramen for dinner. There’s a decent amount of immigration in Adelaide and a good variety of different cuisines.
Repacked our suitcases for the Kati Thanda Lake Eyre excursion starting tomorrow and went to bed.
