For one hour. I was worried about my plans for world domination, but it all worked out.

I had a little time to kill before my tour, so I went into Town Hall to stay dry and found theres actually something to see. Some art and some historical junk, some cool architecture too. The Beatles once stood on the balcony, guys, and that was something special.

The walking tour was predictably good. The guide was young and had a good sense of what we wanted to hear about. A nice morning.

After a quick spin around the cricket grounds (not much to see really), I had an ok lunch at a burrito place. Not as good as Chipotle. Should have gone to Burp. That’s another Mexican place.

I spent the rest of the day at the art gallery. It’s all mixed up right now because 3 major exhibitions are resetting. Art is just crammed in wherever some floor space is. In the the middle of European oils there’s a giant sculpture of a dead horse, in the design area there’s what could only be described as xrated 3-d paper folded genitalia. I loved it.

The tour guide gave the most unique bits of random art history and Adelaide history and political views and business tips. This gal really knows the local art scene too. It was a pleasure to hear about the town from somebody who’s loved here all her life.

The Adelaide central market and chinatown food courts are open late tonight. That food court, all Asian, is straight legit. I passed on the kangaroo curry. The bun at the vietnamese place was great. Also I had the freshest pork buns ever at the dim sum place. I watched them be made, and ate them within 5 minutes.

Tomorrow I’ll go to Alice springs, and start my hiking trip on Sunday. Yay!!
