The alarm woke us at stupid o'clock again this morning, so that we could pack our bags and then move back to the YHA. It's not too much of a problem though - because it's much better than My Place, which isn't too bad - but for the same price it's nice to have a double bed with Nikki. The clocks went forward here last night - so we actually got up earlier than we needed to, but never mind. Once we were all re-checked in at the YHA, we went out for the day. We took a walk round to the train station and caught a train out to Port Adelaide, because some guy from Tourist Information said it was a nice place to go and also they have a huge market on a Sunday - so we thought we'd check it out.
Oh dear, I wish we'd never bothered - Port Adelaide was pants! It's probably ok really, but today there was a really strong, cold wind and we couldn't really be bothered to go out walking. The parts we did see were really industrial looking, so we were happy when we found the Fisherman's Wharf, which is were they have the market. It was just our luck - but that was also pretty crap. It was just a huge warehouse with people selling all sorts of tatt - everything you can think of, but never possibly need - it was rubbish. We had a little walk around and then got hot-dogs and some doughnuts, which we sat and ate by the water, before deciding we'd had enough and came back.
We spent this evening hanging about the hostel. Ash, the guy we met earlier on our travels is also here, so we sat chatting with him. When we seen him last he had no money, but he was going off to work for some. He did that ok and managed to save up about $1,500 - but then the other morning someone stole it all from his bag - all he's got left now is 40¢. He said he's gonna fly home in about two weeks now, he can't be bothered to travel anymore - the poor sod.
Tonight, Steve cooked us all a chicken curry and then we sat around chatting. Me and Steve had the decider in our chess tournament and i'm sorry to say, Steve won. It's ok though - he would've only cried if he'd lost (ha ha).
Port Adelaide... ooopps!
