Today, Saturday, we took an Uber out to the coastal beach Glenelg. We have been here before some fifteen years ago when we came over to do the Murray River hired boat trip with the Kellys.
It was a beautiful sunny day all morning then the clouds came in. When we got to Glenelg we immediately recognised the place, lovely seaside town with a beautiful beach. Big contrast from the city which is inland more. Bev you will recognise the photos. Got back to our hotel and being Saturday it’s so quiet after yesterdays noisy traffic and sirens. Such a difference . Everyone seems to leave the inner city over the weekend. Last night in Adelaide and leaving tomorrow to pick up the wagon.
Before we went out to Glenelg we walked down to the Rundle Mall again passing this lovely stone church dated 1887
This is Rundle Mall. As we were so early 8.00am there weren’t many people around and sun wasn’t very high up making it dark. The two silver balls is what you see below.
The idea of these balls is to stand under them and look up and take a photo of your reflection. Saw one of these in Canberra last year. In the top ball is me taking a photo of me. 🤔
Now arrived at Glenelg Beach. Quiet after the inner city yesterday.
Walked out to the end of the pier.
Looking back to the beach
Started chatting to a chap out at the end of the pier fishing. Look at this set up. Everything a fisherman needs right down to a chair to sit on. Two rods out, buckets for his catch, water bottle on the side, bait box measuring tape on the cutting board. Amazing what more does a guy need. Just wheels the whole set up, out from his home. You could tell he just loved it. The whole time we were talking to him he had the green cloth in his hand just continuing wiping down everything.
Walking back looking along the beach from the pier.
A bit of fun at the beginning of the pier. Couldn’t get PT interested in going up.
Back behind the wheel the town square. The red tram on the right goes between Glenelg and through the city last stop at the Royal Adelaide Hospital which is opposite our Hotel.
We decided to get the tram back to our Hotel probably took about 40mins so that gives you an idea how far from the coast the city is.
After trying to work out how to pay for a ticket to go on the tram we then were told it’s free in the weekends. ( Don’t know who that old bugger is smiling at me.) We had considered getting the tram out to the beach but decided on an Uber at $41. Would have taken the free tram if we had known.
