Day 25 Sat 4 Jun 16, Adelaide, 3 to 18 deg, mostly sunny, with a very sneaky breeze. Chilly 3 deg on the walk this morning although it soon warmed up. Wendy got stuck into her washing and repacking her Army stuff into a suitcase after her trip to Sydney. Leisurely mornos and then onto the bikes for lunch with a couple of Army friends (both in the Army too) from our Townsville days. On the way we called into the National Wine Centre for a look only. A wonderful showcase for Aussie wines On to lunch. Ian and Vanessa have done a wonderful job renovating and extending a 100+ year old house that they have in the southern suburbs. Very tastefully furnished painted and decorated in the appropriate style. Well done Ian and Vanessa. Lunch was yummy; great tender steak with a pumpkin salad followed by a "log" of ice cream filled with berries and stuff. Lucky we're riding. 26 km round trip. Spent the rest of the afternoon packing up the awning and other stuff we won't need overnight, ready for our departure in the morning. Dinner was with Symen (Army mate I had caught up with earlier in the week) and his wife Fee, who teaches English to migrants. A tough gig. A real privilege to be spoilt two meals in a row; vegetarian this time. A real surprise when the meat-lover Wendy really enjoyed it as did the veggie-loving Greg. Symen and Fee also have a great old house full of character. A fantastic day with four wonderful friends.
