I wasn't to be in Adelaide for long, just one night in fact. I arrived and checked into the Shakespeare Backpackers, which wasn't the greatest accommodation I have ever stayed in, it took me nearly an hour to find a plug to charge my phone, maybe I was just going blind. That night I planned to just chill out with a beer or two at a local Adelaide boozer, but for some reason everywhere was shut on a Sunday. The person who gave Adelaide the nickname Radelaide obvi...

Only five of us were on the bus to Coober Pedy. An English couple called Becky and Chris, a German fella called Fabien and an annoying Scottish girl Louise. The tour guide I think he said he was called Bill was also a bit of an arse. Maybe it was my last tour was that good that I didn't really get into this, or maybe it was just that it was lots of driving and nothing much to see.

Rebecca took control of the driving all da...

As I said in my previous blog, I was feeling a tad rough from my night out with French Stephen in Adeliade, so I was more than happy that German Rebecca didn't mind driving that morning. Our first port of call was to fill up the van which was nicely decorated on one side with Wallace and Gromit and the Minions from Despicable Me on the other side. While getting fuel I met the nicest guy in Adelaide. He was the cashier of the petrol station. I had just gone in to ...
