We're enjoying a run of marvelous weather with temperatures in the low seventies. It's Day 5 of the Boxing Day test where Australia fights for and achieves a draw, CJ has a morning walk to the bus information station to retrieve the temporary changes to the local free bus routes. They are temporary for locals but will start New Years Day and be in place the remainder of our stay.
In the afternoon CJ takes a long walk. He tries a new route that takes him around the north side of the Adelaide Oval, to St Peter's Cathedral, around the hospital in North Adelaide eventually ending up near the zoo. He returns by the north bank Torrens River path. On the way to the Oval he crosses the Torrens looking toward the Festival Center to the east.
Near St. Peters there is a view of downtown Adelaide in the background with the Oval in the foreground.
After having lived here for three years and having visited four time since, today is the first time he's ever entered St. Peters. It's smaller and simpler than he expected.
He passes under University Bridge. The tall building is one of the many University of Adelaide buildings. They can be found all around town along with University of South Australia buildings.
CJ loves the river walk. It is always picturesque and peaceful.
Evening brings a patio dinner of wild boar and venison sausage accompanied by mini gnocchi in a brown butter sauce and fresh sage. We can't get sausage and gnocchi like this where we live.
The days finale? Cricket of course. The Hobart Hurricanes playing the Sydney Thunder from Launceston, Tasmania. It's accompanied by another brilliant sunset.
