Day 21 Tues 31 May 16, Adelaide, fine in the morning, afternoon shower, 10 to 18 deg. Not so cold for the early walk in the dark this morning. Some fine examples of the Federation homes around this suburb and many very flash and expensive new ones too. Have only seen a few for sale signs up and every one of them had "sold" pasted across them. Had a leisurely brekky and then hit the bikes for a ride to Port Adelaide. The ride to the city was on one of our favourit...

Day 20 Mon 30 May 16, Adelaide, morning showers followed by a mainly fine day, 13 to 18 deg. A quick early walk with the brollies kicked off the day. Nice to see the rain has followed us; but we really don't begrudge them some rain as it's usually so dry here. Decided to hit the shops while the showers hung around, so we drove to Gepps Cross about 5km away where there's a stack of home stores. Needed to replace our electric frypan, which is only 26 years old; (on...

Day 19 Sun 29 May 16, Clare to Adelaide 150 km, high cloud with occasional sunshine, 3 (in Clare) to 17 (Adelaide) deg. As Wendy has to fly to Sydney for a few days on Wednesday for Army business, we are taking the opportunity to spend a bit of time in Adelaide. So we booked into the Levi Caravan Park at Walkerville (where else) for a week. We've been to Adelaide before, mainly for the Tour Downunder, and really enjoyed it. It will be a bit cooler this time as th...

Day 18 Sat 28 May 16, Clare 4 to 14 deg, early rain and fog, clearing to a mainly sunny day. Although the BOM said it was going to be "mainly sunny" today there was no sign of that initially; just fog and drizzle. So the bike ride was looking less likely. However upon finishing our hot brekky the sun came out and it warmed up to 10deg!! So we gave the chains an oiling and jumped on our trusty steeds and off we went. With our noses pointing south we headed for Aub...

Day 17 Fri 27 May 16, Clare SA, 6 to 14 deg, brrrrrrrr!! cool & cloudy with showers. Welcome back to "the plains" where the temps are certainly a little cooler. Surely it is too cold to rain!!?, but we must remember this is not Qld so the weather does strange things down south of Mexico. To hear on the radio that there was a Sheep Graziers Alert for this region and a Flood Warning for Mt Lofty, (120km away), wasn't a good sign for our planned bike ride today....
