A day in the city of Adelaide

About exploring a beautiful green city – Travel log no. 68

We left Sharyn & Wolf in the morning just to meet up at their town house the same day again. After having coffee in their beautiful house North of Adelaide we went off to explore the city.

Adelaide is a beautiful city. Probably my favorite Australian City so far. The whole down town area is encircled by a beautiful park. The park alone is already worth visiting for a day.

At first we checked out Chinatown.

Chinatown, Adelaide
The entrance to the Chinatown in Adelaide is definitely huge compared to it’s real size.

We explored some nice Chinese specialty shops which are part of the Central Market. The whole Chinatown is actually just the short street which is following the gate.

Central Market, Adelaide
The Central Market is a great place. From fine to great cheese and fruits, everything can be sampled here.

While tasting all the delicacies in the market we became really hungry and had some Korean Dumplings close by.

Afterwards we walked to the Botanical Garden. It is great too but by far not as great as the Melbourne Botanical Gardens.

Afterwards we checked into our Hostel, the Backpacker OZ. At night we had good conversation over free BBQ and a Pool Competition. Flo and I checked out the bar life afterwards. Even though it was a weekday we found a good place the “Crown & Anchor” for drinks.

I really like the city and could see myself staying longer if not the Winter would be coming.
