A long, long weekend in Radelaide

So what do you do for a 5 day weekend? Go to a wedding in Adelaide.  And what do you do in Adelaide for a few days I hear you say, well... lots. After getting in from our early flight and just missing the check in at our hostel we headed for the Central Adelaide Market for lunch, cheese and hot cross buns. 

After wondering through the streets checking out some of the beautiful old sandstone buildings we checked into annie's place, a nice little hostel with clean basic rooms and a great travellers vibe.  Not being as hardcore as we once were we booked a double room with an ensuite, dorm beds are a bit past us these days!

Having only one full day to ourselves, we took advantage of the free city bikes and rode to the Glenelg beach front and had lunch.  Weather wise it was an awesome day.

The next day was my cousin's wedding at the historic Ayers House, a former residence of Henry Ayers, 5 time Premier of South Australia and the man that had a rock named after him.  We had a few hours to kill between the ceremony and reception so we took a relaxed stroll through the Adelaide Botanical Gardens.

Nice way to spend a long weekend, and as my cousin saids "Adelaide...it's ok".
