Before I'm on the road again...

Hi Loves,

I'm still in Adelaide but about to head out tomorrow morning to arrive at my next stop along the way.  I'll be traveling with 3 other people so that is going to save me some money by splitting costs with that many again, THANK GOD!  I've not spent too much since being here in this city and plus it's not as expensive as Perth.

I've walked around the city and gone to the beach since being here.  It has been a pretty chill week actually so not much to report. 

Here are the pictures from Perth to Adelaide...

So this is a Philly Cheese steak according to the restaurant I ordered it from in Perth!?!  It cost me $18 for the sandwich and $5 for the green tea (yep, definitely went to the grocery store after this disaster of a meal).
 
Badminton...
 
This is at Kalgoorlie's "Superpit."  It's a mining hole that has a lot of natural resources.  It was HUGE!
This is at Kalgoorlie... "The most photographed bar in Australia."  This title itself is probably the only reason it is photographed LOL
 
Another double rainbow while traveling through the outback :-)
 
We stopped along the shore while driving across Western Australia to Southern Australia.
 
Minus the annoying gross flies that attack faces, ears, and skin in general this was a nice stop along the way to Adelaide.
 
This was the view on the way down to the lookout for the Southern Right Whales...
 
More of the view...
Southern Right Whale!!!
 
Southern Right Whale!!! :-)
 
This is on the way to the beach we camped it.  You can't tell from my picture but the water to the right was actually pink in color.  I didn't notice it until the next day when we drove back over this stretch of road.
 
Here is a picture of Sonnie taking a picture of the snake that I was unwilling to go back to photograph... lol
 
Once we left and found another place to photograph the beach, this is what I got :-)
 
Shout out to Remi in France :-)
 
We stopped here along our way to Adelaide... Definitely not as cool as Uluru but free LOL :-D
 
View from the top of the rock...
 
One part of the oh so large Pildappa Rock...
 
So we stopped and stayed at this place.  I must admit that I thought it looked kind of shady but it was a pretty cool place.
 
This is the room, it used to be a classroom :-)
 
In Adelaide at one of the many, many, many parks that are surrounding the city.  (The little boy is dressed in a full Batman costume (mask and all)).
 
At the Botanic Garden in Adelaide.
 
As I was walking around downtown in Adelaide I came upon this fun graffiti :-)
 
This is a view of Adelaide from the Torrens River...
 
Sitting at Brighton Beach chillaxin :-)
 
Still at Brighton Beach... (before the flies came and attacked my face and skin again SO ANNOYING!!!)
 
This is indoor netball... It's similar to basketball but there is no dribbling.  If you have the ball in your hand you have to stop moving and either pass or shoot.  It was interesting to watch.
 
There is no backboard either...

Okay now you all are all caught up on my trip again.  I think that I'll get some more really good shots on the way to Melbourne and along the way from there.  We shall see how the posting goes though.  I really wish I were better able to keep you all in the know but am limited as I've mentioned before.

I now have less than a month to go here and quite a bit more to see.

Miss you, love you!
