I decided to go to the botanic gardens again. Last time I went there it was in the middle of summer and very hot, and I was grossly overweight and depressed. So I caught a train in to the city and then went for a walk. I love my local train station, it's so cute.
The first thing on my mind when I got in to the city was breakfast, so I decided to have a look in the central markets and see if anything took my fancy.
I wanted to buy some dark chocolate coated coffee beans, one of my favourite treats, but I managed to talk myself out of it and just took a photo of them instead. Not too many calories in a picture. Then through Victoria Square in the centre of the city, complete with a statue of the grand old dame herself.
There's some very interesting little shops in Adelaide and this lolly shop is a classic. It's difficult to get the whole shop in a photograph though because it's in a narrow little lane. I took some photo segments that should stitch together well, I'll have a play with them later on.
Through Rundle Mall and past the little fat pigs.
From there I strolled down to the botanic gardens. I thought they'd look really great in the beginning of spring but it was no better than last time I was there. In fact it was worse, the was lots of work going on and areas that were fenced off, the whole place stunk of phosphates, and there were that many people there that it was almost impossible to take a photo without people in it. I did take a few more pictures but nothing I want to show off.
From now on I'll only go there on really hot days when everyone else stays inside.
