Glenelg weekend away

Sorry for letting the crickets loose on the blog again. Life gets busy.

The weekend before last I shot off to Adelaide after work on Friday. I ummed and aahed about going a day earlier than I needed to, but I needed and deserved a weekend away by myself god damn it!

I arrived in Adelaide in peak hour traffic and made my way to Glenelg with a shitload of help from mum's GPS. I would have been LOST without it, I have no clue where I'm going in Adelaide!

The motel I stayed in was on Broadway, a fab spot with a couple of pubs down the road, a good array of shops, cafes and bars and a couple of supermarkets a quick walk away. It suited me down to the ground. I parked my car in front of my room and that's where it stayed until I left on Sunday morning. 

I walked to Glenelg's shopping strip, Jetty Road on Saturday morning. I had a relaxing walk around the shops, by the beach and walked back to Broadway along the beach front. When I got back to my motel, I even had a nap!

My god, these breaks away from my family, from my everyday pressures, sure make me realise how important these breaks away are!

I returned to the beach front on Saturday evening, hoping to experience a sunset, and I wasn't dissapointed at all. It was fabulous to do a heap of people watching, and have all the time in the world do my own thing and take lots of photos.

I spent all day Sunday, from 8:30am to half past 4 in the afternoon, at the Gymnastics SA training facility, getting my Gymnastic for All accreditation, and then drove the four and a half hours home! Hence, no post last week.

A morning in Glenelg #openslather

We've just spent the weekend in Adelaide, mainly to see Port Power play on the Saturday arvo. 

In the morning we drove down to the seaside at Glenelg, had a look around and lunched at our favourite kebab shop on Jetty Road(kicking myself for not taking a photo of that place). It's not the prettiest shop, but the food is good. Boggy remembers dropping in there 20 years ago in the early hours of the morning, same place, same owner, after a big night at the Grand.

It's the first time I, or the girls, had been down on the Glenelg beach or actually gone on the rides at 'The Beachouse' on the foreshore.
