No Need For Rolaids in Adelaide

I took the ferry back to the mainland and drove to Adelaide.  Adelaide is in the south of Australia and since Australia is about the same size as the US.  It would be located at the tip of Texas vs. Melbourne which would be like where New Orleans is and Sydney around where Charleston, South Carolina would be.
I stayed at a hotel that has self check in so it is like going to a cash machine to check in.  They have no desk or desk clerk.  I checked in late and stumbled upon a Yakatori bar that was still open.
Yakatori is Japanese meet on skewers. I remembered ordering chicken and cheese.  The food was excellent.

The next day I checked out and went for breakfast.  I would say the pancakes I had where the best since my Grandma Jeans.



It was obvious that Adelaide was a culinary city.  I checked into another hotel, a really old one.  They had the most beautiful restaurant that had a bay area overlooking the street.  The special was salt and pepper squid for $10, another great meal.










I walked the streets of the city a bit and Adelaide has a small but very nice section of shops and restaurants.














This another vintage arcade that they seem to have in each large Australian city. You can see to the left there is a chocolate store and restaurant which are also prevalent in the Australian cities.











Gelato is very big there too. Food is taken seriously in Australia, much to my surprise.
