Saturday - halfway point

City of Bungalows. City of corrugated roofs. That's Adelaide - or at least our impression of it. The suburbs are full of detached bungalows fairly close to each other - not much point in having big grass gardens unless you have the sprinklers on them 24/7. Our first impression of the corrugated roofs was how cheap and tacky they are, but you soon appreciate the practicality of it, and even the look of it after a while. There's a kind of colour coding system in operation - and there's very few tiled roofs. Apart from the city centre, it's very much a low rise city.

Jo kept some of Miller's shorn locks from his haircut on Wednesday:

On Thursday morning, I went for a short cycle and then my first hit of a golf ball this year at the local par-3 Glanville course - a nice gentle introduction for me:

We walked to the golf course and Jo walked the first 9 holes with me then read her book whilst I played the second 9 holes - after we'd both had a Magnum and Diet Coke break in between.

On Friday we took the train in to the city again and walked from there to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, crossing the river Torrens on the new footbridge on the way:

The Aquatic Centre is huge - very impressive - and has gardens to sit in between swims. From there, we walked to the Royal Oak in O'Connell Street for a couple of beers before heading "home" again, where Miller was in relaxed mode:

On Saturday morning, Chris and Kelly did their separate shifts at the gym and then we were off for Miller's swimming lesson. Kelly then took him home for a sleep whilst the three of us had some beers and a bite to eat at the new craft beer bar in Semaphore, which has a nice beer garden:

In the afternoon, Kelly had her appointment for the 3D scan of the next Steele baby boy. We were all allowed to watch on the big screen - it was fascinating. Kelly and Chris have a DVD now and some photographs:

Chris is working tomorrow (Sunday) so Kelly is going to drive us up to the Barossa for some more wine and beer tasting.
