So today (Thursday) is our last full day in Adelaide and, as usual, I'm sitting here having my breakfast, updating my blog diary.
We did do the long walk from Norwood in the East up to the Old Lion in the North of the city yesterday, to revisit where we stayed last year. Kelly stayed at home, of course, but the rest of us traversed over, through the Botanical Gardens, where we had a quick coffee stop, then past the zoo, over the River Torrens and across the parks to Jerningham Street.
It was really nice to revisit the Old Lion - good place - nice lunch and good choice of beers. Afterwards, Chris and Ross marched home whilst Jo and I strolled our way through the various parklands, stopping regularly for a quick chapter or two of our books. We popped in to the (indoors) Lily Centre at the Botanical Gardens:
and posed for a photo in front of another (outdoor) lily pond:
I really struggled with my knee on the latter part of our walk. I think this holiday has convinced me that I need to get a new knee this year - I don't think I can put it off any longer as it's causing too much pain and discomfort. I think I'll start to make enquiries and appointments when I return - and, of course, talk to Dawn about her experiences.
I think Jo will also be visiting the specialist when she gets back - her shoulder has been causing her a lot of problems over the last month or so and I'm not sure the physiotherapy she was getting before we left has helped all that much. She's been dosing herself with Arnica all the time to relieve the discomfort and pain.
So a good start to the day - Kelly got up and managed to go to the early morning gym session today. Chris is going this afternoon whilst the rest of us head to the movies again to see Hitch - then back home to pack, as we leave first thing in the morning - sad!
