From Kangaroo Island we headed north to Adelaide. We only allocated a couple of days to this beautiful city in order to resupply and repair a couple of little bits and pieces before heading into the outback.
As we came closer to Adelaide, our wipers were first turned on, and then turned up. Yes, it was raining, and Adelaide was about to cop it wettest day for over 40 years. In fact it was about to cop two very wet days - coinciding exactly with our visit.
We stayed the Adelaide City Caravan Park - a claimed 20 minute walk to the city. We would dearly have loved to have spent a day walking in the beautiful park lands surrounding the city, but it wasn't to be. Instead we claimed our site by dropping the camper off, and jumped back into the car sodden. It was no fun outside, so we went shopping, and later caught up with some old friends for dinner.
