On the road before 9:00 down to the City Centre tourist waterfront area, where there is a horse drawn trolley car that runs out to Granite Island across a causeway some 600m+ in length.
Too early for a ride, so we walked out to the island and then walked around the island [45 minutes]. Huge granite rocks, spectacular views and dolphins cruising off the island. The island's up and down terrain seems to be used by the locals as their fitness facility... a number of groups with personal trainers pushing them.When we arrived back on the mainland, two Clydesdales had arrived and were tucking into their feed before a days work.
Just got back as the weather start to threaten, so off to find a good coffee. Walked around the precinct taking in the sites and taking photos ......eg "Schnitzel Encounter"
We finally took off to Glenelg, as the weather broke and had heavy rain all the way to the marina where our motel is opposite. At one stage we took a wrong turn and was heading back south, much to our GPS lady's disgust. We stopped and sorted this out. She got us back later that night as we went to old friends place. The traffic was horrendous, pouring with rain, night visibility difficult, and GPS lady sending us to freeways to do right hand turns acrooss 4 lanes, but with a central barrier between the other direction. so turn left to go to the nearby lights for a u turn, only to be told to turn left...impossible stress levels rising...Michael swearing!!!
Had a really nice visit with Rodger and Cathy catching up on our news.
