When I told my colleague Magie, a true blue Adelaidean, that I was going to Adelaide for a long weekend, I asked, “Why?” before making a passing comment that Adelaide was Melbourne a decade ago. Well, I don’t know what it means because I haven’t been to Melbourne or Adelaide, not even Australia, ten years ago.
Here I am 24 hours later after landing in Adelaide. There is nowhere I would rather be than at Bang Bang at Eleven Thirty. Okay, that’s a restaurant, and I am obviously drunk right now.
So far, I have drunk five different kinds of Adelaide local wines ━ all were absolutely delicious ━ accompanied by Eggs Benedict for breakfast, German sausage for lunch and Kirkpatrick oysters for dinner. We reached the hotel by 10 PM, and by 11 PM, I was snoozing on the sofa while watching Hangover 3. I just woke up to shift to the bedroom (hopefully with very minimum disturbance to Liz, who was already sleeping on the bed) and decided to type this quickly before I forgot my first 24 hours in Adelaide.
