An early flight saw us up and about at 6am, we said goodbye to our apartment and at 7am our driver texted to say that he was downstairs waiting. This has been a reliable company and we recommend them. They are a bit more expensive than a taxi but very good to deal with and you get a small bottle of water, (It's the small things that count).

Breaky was had in the Virgin Lounge and soon we were boarding the plane to Adelaide. The purpose of this journey was to catch up with our old friends Chris and Rob Holmes. I have been to Adelaide before in 1991, but this is a first visit for Lance. Driving through the city of Adelaide the buildings are all stone, mainly a lovely warm ochre colour and all very quaint. It is a very pretty city.
We spent time with Chris and Rob when we lived in Lae in Papua New Guinea, they were our P.N.G family. So it was so special to finally see them again.
From the first second of our welcoming hugs it was like we had never been apart, albeit that we are all a bit more wrinkly. We talked non-stop into the evening, catching up on the gossip and family stuff.
Chris and Rob's house is also very quaint and we have our own suite upstairs with lounge and bathroom. The temperature is pretty mild considering how hot it can get here. And Chris has a pretty full itinerary planned for the next week.
