sight seeing Adelaide

the next week was spent sight seeing around Adelaide, with my lil sis Kimmy and her boy Benny who arrived from Sydney by plane the day after me. we went out that night to a pub in North Adelaide called The Archer, to catch up with one of Ben's mates who lives here, nice pub and the have Stella on tap, i was impressed. as Ben and i stood at the bar there was a bit of a question we had for each other, what do they call a standard size beer here? pot? schooner? we didn't find out till later and we both ended up with pints, not quite what we were after originally but oh well, saved us getting another one later.
the next day, Friday, we got up early and drove up to the lovely Barossa Valley, for a tour, some site tour, mostly wine tour. was quite an experience and i now know a lot more about wine and drinking it, but not too much of course. we had lots of fun and had a great time together.
Sunday afternoon we went to the A-League football top of the table clash, Adelaide vs Sydney, Ben, Kim and myself were amongst a handful of Sydney FC supporters there and although i called the score 3-2 Sydney win before the game i got the win bit wrong as some scrappy defending gave Adelaide two easy goals plus another, with Adelaide taking the win. was still a great experience with the stadium packed out, and one great football match.
on Monday we went to the Australia vs West Indies test match at the Adelaide Oval, it really is a beautiful ground, and was good to see some cricket.
the rest of the week was mainly spent shopping or going to the beach, and hanging out having fun together.
Kimmy and Ben left for Sydney on the Wednesday and so did some of the Australian Cricket team who we saw at the airport.
