Adelaide – heat wave

With only having a cat , our second week in Adelaide was very relaxing , but also very hot . Valentine’s Day was sweet , with a little ( but dry) Italian round the corner

Being tourists and with plenty of time we did a Port River cruise
Sadly not on this boat
Adelaide’s port is still busy , with big containers coming in
But is famous for it’s Bottlenose Ruver dolphins. Which was the point of the cruise. We were lucky and had one swim by the boat . The local news and local people said sightings are rare – due to river toxicity
Up stream was a nature reserve and ships graveyard
Coco the cat . Much easier than dog sitting , except when he brought a live Miner Bird in during the night
Anita’s use of a stubby holder to chill wine in 38 degree heat
Saturday market in Largs
Saturday night at the movies
Two friends of Anita , Joel and Nicole , who she met in Penang took us to the local Brewery in Pirt Adelaide for Sunday lunch
Good choice of beer
Unusual clumps of seaweed covered parts of our beach
We explored some of the southern Adelaide beaches

Adelinga beach . Dog walkers arrived in their cars and parked on the beach

Brighten beach
Adelinga Beach offered a different walking opportunity in the local bush
Early morning walk to Semophore – named after it’s signal station

That afternoon the thermometer was rising

Cruise ship at Outer Harbour
After a cool , 1 mile swim we headed South to the McLaren Vale . First stop Shingleback for a quick tasting . Here’s your wine enjoy!
Oliver’s Taranga gave us a much better , personal tasting
So bought a few bottles
A cool spot
