Off on an adventure to the City Markets - a foodies paradise - similar to Melbourne Markets and right next door to China Town. We stocked up on the cold meats, ( found a new meat called lachsshinkin - yum - to die for - smoked pork with the texture of smoked salmon) cheeses, dips, olives, smoked octopus, baklava and fig n fennel sourdough. God our waistlines will never be the same. Topped off with a good Shiraz from the McLaren Vale vineyards and we are as happy as piggies in mud.
Stumbled upon the Asian section for lunch - every cuisine known - and had yum cha - the guys out the back were producing yum cha flat out and the ladies out the front were selling at a great pace - we had a few dishes - as much as we could eat for $13 - that's for two not each. We strolled back to the van and packed our purchases in the fridge - a definite advantage of travelling in the van - and then a leisurely stroll up Rundle Mall and Rundle Street to walk the lunch off.
Home for a read and a punt, Ross got a quadrella and it paid $700 - and very happy he was too. A walk along the river again and home for a fine spread of small goods and wine.
Life could be a lot worse.
