Glenelg Beach - the first point to access Australia
Sunday. 1.15.06 10:29 pm
We get up early this morning. Then we had brunch and bought out first DAY TRIP TICKETS on the bus, yeah! This day trip ticket allows you to go around adelaide for the whole day, and it is only $6.5. Well, it is cheap (especially compare to Sydney), because it is too hot, none of us want to walk from home to city. And a 2 sections ticket cost $2, and a tickets from city to Glenelg cost $3.5, if we can come back within 2 hours then we don't need to buy another ticket. We don't think we can, althoguh the weather was bad today.
The Glanelg tram is the old style, they do have a new air-conditioning tram, but every three tram and there is a new one. We like the old one! Oh, no no no, it should be I like the old one! We took the old one, as we don't want to wait long for the new tram, and my family don't mind to take the old one either.
We were surprised to the tram running fast, it is totally different to the old-slowly-tram as running HK, it took only half hour to glenelg. We passed a suburb called black forest, but there was nothing special, couldn't see any shops closed to tram stations, maybe located at other side.
The first thing we saw after we off the tram was the large ocean, and old buildings. There was not much people today, it must be the weather. We took some pictures before we walked close to the sea, and the sea is so pretty, and mighty. The city council done a good job, they builded up a bridge from the beach to sea, so you can 'walk on' the sea. At a moment, i felt so closed to south pole, I have never ever been this close to any pole.
Dad was always thought about the osysters that he tried in Sydney, so he was very concerned any osysters can eat in Glenelg. Sorry dad!!! This is not a fish market, even though it closed to the sea. However we find a shop sell fried osysters and other seafoods, we stayed there for long, because it tasted good, and there was raining outside, and we were hungry.
