Op Shopping Anywhere

Leave a comment

We have been in Adelaide for a couple of days this week. Shopping was not my prime focus but I did manage to pop into a couple of op shops when we were out and about. It is always fun to check out shops in different locations.

I found a lovely pale blue/lilac short sleeve top which will be perfect when the weather warms up a bit and it would work well under a jacket, too.

It was a short trip which you can read about here and we are now home again so blog posts should return pretty much to normal soon.

Ticket to Ride

Do you remember when there was no online booking of travel or swiping of cards or devices to pay for tickets on the go?

Well, this is a bit of a blast from the past. Our paper tickets for a return trip to Adelaide.

We are off to Adelaide at the end of the month for a few days and although it is simple enough to drive from here to Adelaide in one day we have decided to take a slightly more circuitous route and turn the journey into a bit of an adventure.

The first leg is to catch the train from Castlemaine to Swan Hill. We will arrive around lunchtime so are staying in a cabin at the caravan park which is conveniently located between the railway station and the river. We will have time to have a look around the town and enjoy the river scenery.

The next day we catch a coach to Adelaide and will arrive by 6pm. Our accommodation is conveniently located in the city centre and only a few blocks from the coach terminal.

Our return journey will be the same in reverse.

It will be something a bit different.
