Trip to Adelaide - November 2019

A while ago Oscar and his dad where watching a documentary about The Ghan - an iconic Australian train route between Adelaide and Darwin. So using a combination of farmor's gift and daddy's frequent flyer point we decided to go on a trip to Adelaide to see The Ghan!

We departed from Avalon Airport on Sunday 3-Nov at 9.10am. Oscar can't go anywhere without Stampe so of course the globetrotter rabbit had to come along on this journey as well.



To our surprise there was an Antonov 124 at Avalon Airport. The Antonov is another "familiar face" from watching plane documentary movies.



Once in Adelaide we went straight to the ibis Hotel Adelaide to drop off our bags, and then jumped back into the taxi and headed for Parklands Train Station to inspect The Ghan before its departure to Darwin.

After The Ghan has departed we walked back to our hotel to check-in and relax. We got a room on the 13th floor with a magnificent view of Adealide and surrounds.





 As we were relaxing we saw a lot of airplanes coming in for landing, and we also had the departure and arrival timetable on our TV, so we decided to play Air Control Tower.

We also did a short walk around the Hotel and saw the Adelaide Arcade, which was very nice and then it was dinner time. We had pizza and spaghetti, then we went back to the ibis hotel and went to bed.








The next morning we had a big breakfast buffet. We had muesli, bacon, eggs, sausages, mushroom, hash brown, waffles, and cake. Loaded up on energy we walked to Adelaide Zoo.






After the Zoo, it was time to head back to the airport and get ready for our flight home to Melbourne. We had an awesome trip and will definitely go back to Adelaide and bring mum next time.
