Good ol' Nikki believes that whenever you're away on holiday, you should always have at least one fry-up - so I was very pleased to wake up this morning to find her cooking one for us (what a Wife!). After we'd finished our breakfast, we packed our bags and then checked out before catching the bus back to the centre of Adelaide. We checked back in to the YHA and then Steve realised that he'd left his earphones back at the cabin - so his morning was going to be spent traveling to and from Glenelg. Me and Nikki hung around the hostel with Ash, playing table tennis and then went out for a walk.

We looked around the shops and then, because the weather had turned pretty pants, decided we'd go into the library to use the free internet. Afterwards we went next door and spent the rest of the afternoon in the Southern Australia Museum. The museum was huge and when we were walking through the stuffed animals section, Nikki asked if I would be surprised if the animals came to life at night (like in the film 'Night At The Museum'), when I said I definitely would, she boasted that she probably WOULDN'T be... only to scream the place down, when the lion moved it's tail. It was obviously electronic - but the timing couldn't have been better - and exposed Nikki for the fibber and wimp she really is (he he).

When we made it to the second floor we found a little room that was doing an Aboriginal workshop - so me and Nikki took a look. It was brilliant! We got to paint little boomerangs, using sticks in the style of Aboriginal art. We had loads of fun - and only left because the museum was closing.

This evening, we hung around the YHA and Steve made us a sausage casserole for our tea. Afterwards, we had a couple of games of table tennis - and I won the World Series - beating Steve 5-4 (not bad, seeing as I came from 4-1 down!).

Yippee... I love the museum!
