Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
Day 20 Mon 30 May 16, Adelaide, morning showers followed by a mainly fine day, 13 to 18 deg. A quick early walk with the brollies kicked off the day. Nice to see the rain has followed us; but we really don't begrudge them some rain as it's usually so dry here. Decided to hit the shops while the showers hung around, so we drove to Gepps Cross about 5km away where there's a stack of home stores. Needed to replace our electric frypan, which is only 26 years old; (one of Wendy's 21st birthday gifts) things don't last these days!! It was still going well though, just the non-stick surface had become very,.. well sticky. Ended up at Harris Scarfe and picked up a stoneware Smith & Noble electric pan for $39.95 (down from $80). Amazing the one that it replaced would have cost over $100, or 2? at least, 26 years ago! We weren't through with shopping centres so we had a wander and beaut coffee (& very nice vanilla slice G&Y) at Westfield Tea Tree. The rain finally cleared just after lunch and some sun patches started to happen so it was time to break out the bikes and lycra. We just followed the bike path along the River Torrens out one side (going away from the city) and back the other side. Great path, good facilities, parks and playgrounds etc, and feels good to be back on the bikes in relatively warm (18deg) weather. Dinner was a lovely lamb casserole done in the flash new frypan, it was good and not sticky. Life is good ja!!
