safe in Oz

If your worried,care, or just following along, we landed safe and sound in Oz. It was a late arrival and we took a cab to the hostel we booked online. We stayed 2 nights at the Glenelg beachside hostel which in reality was about 3 blocks off the beach. We were lucky enuogh to have a 5 door room to ourselves both nights but we didn't sleep the best as the walls were paper thin and teh young backpackers were coming and going at all hours. We pretty much did all of Adelaide on the first day. We took the train downtown, walked around for 4 hours checking out a few sights and the cool shopping district. We then caught the train back to Glenelg where we walked around on the beach, swatting poo flies the whole time it was a short trip around the beach. After dinner and a better sleep than the first night (thanks earplugs) we caught the bus to the airport to pickup our car. We hit an outlet shopping area near the airport loaded up on a few snacks for the car, bought a 2007 road atlas of Oz on sale for $7 and headed out towards The Great Ocean Road.
