I was going to bore you with more pictures of roads for days 78 - 82 but decided not to. The 1500km from Uluru down to Adelaide really weren't that exciting especially as we had already covered most of it on the way up and even then it was pretty boring... and we were looking forward to getting out of the outback and back into civilisation without flies and without red sand everywhere !
Adelaide didn't really look too exciting at first either and we were expecting something boring like Cairns. It was when we got to the town centre that we were pleasantly surprised.
Adelaide actually looks like it was a little bit of history (by Australian standards). You'll find quite old buildings - some from the 19th century others art deco - and not so many modern sky scrapers. It has lots of little sidestreets full of cute little pubs, shops and restaurants andit has a little bit of an Eurpean feel to it.
We met up with our friend Fred and also with some folks from the Rising Sun Pictures Adelaide office which was nice. And then we had the best pasta ever in charming little Italian restaurant.
At the end of our Adelaide stay we also went "swimming" with dolphins. A boat brings you out to popular dolphin hang out spots and you jump into the water holding on to a rope so you don't float away and hope and wait that a dolphin might come near. We did this jumping into the water about 5 times. The last few times I could see some dolphins swimming underwater quite near to us which was great. I realy wanted them to come very close and play but I think that's not what they neccessarily do.
Luke saw hardly any dolphins as he's blind. He is also pretty dumb as he paid $100 for this "experience", so he says. He wasn't happy. Here is his one and only photo that day of a dolphin tail:
