Adelaide Botanic Garden

We drove down town to visit the Botanic Gardens.

Back entrance with nearby parking.

Rain was threatening but we proceeded.

An avenue of Moreton Bay Figs.

There was a Chihuly exhibit scattered around.

It blends in better than I expected.

I like this photo.

The rain commenced so we huddled under a tree.

We then wandered into the Adelaide Mall area and enjoyed a cup of coffee in an old arcade. Adelaide is such a lovely city.

The Gums Reserve in Adelaide.

Last year, we held a mini family reunion in Adelaide. Marianne and I flew down to Melbourne and drove to Adelaide with Clare and Ric. This year we took the new direct Jetstar flight from Hervey Bay to Melbourne which takes about 2.5 hours. It's a whole lot better than changing planes in Sydney. 

We organised a bnb and one afternoon we walked in a park close by. It was my first long walk since the angiogram.

Lovely house across from the park.

Entrance.

It's wattle time in Adelaide.

Bark.

Marianne striding on ahead. I am the slow poke these days.

Bottle brushes.

Detail.

Adelaide features such beautiful sandstone buildings.

It was a beautiful walk and it was so encouraging to be able to complete it with only a few stops to catch my breath.
