The Sea!

Glenelg beach

Jetty Road, Glenelg
 I had a much more successful journey on public transport yesterday.  I went into the city by bus to have a look around and do a bit of window shopping.  I collected a few hundred brochures & leaflets from the information office to start planning what I'm going to do over the next few months.  As it was such a beautiful day, I decided to take the tram down to Glenelg which was really lovely.  



There were lots of people milling about, many of the bars and boutiques were open so I had a lovely afternoon wandering around the shops and cafes.  On my return journey, I didn't realise what the stop that I needed was called so almost missed it, luckily someone else was getting off there so the tram stopped.  I got off, walked around the corner & I'd just put down my shopping bags down when the bus pulled around the corner.

What a result!  As I'm still finding my way around I missed the stop closest to my road which also turned out to be a bonus as it meant that I could pop in to the local shop to get the milk I'd forgotten in town!  Now I have lots of planning of trips to organise.  How exciting!  On the way home, I just had to take a picture of the beautiful sunset.  If you're keen eyed and noticed the date & time on the pictures, the times are wrong as I still had my camera on UK time - all fixed now :-)
