Today we went running by the river that’s basically in our front yard…it was still a shock to be in such warm weather! It felt so good to be able to move my legs and get some exercise without feeling so nauseous. That jet lag is awful! Shars key for some reason stopped working and we live on the 11th floor (you have to swipe your card in order for it to let you go to your floor). The lift (aka elevator) has a mind of its own! We had an interesting ride up and down, up and down, until someone came on to swipe their card so we could get to our floor. The stairs lock behind you and there is now way to go anywhere but down to the ground level!
Lynda picked us up and she’s great! We sent her on a little chase to find us because we told her the wrong street..woops! We went to a store called Sam’s to get some cheap things for our place. Then we went to the market…you get your produce, meet, bread and other at 4 different places (all within close proximity). She’s also letting us use her blow dryer and straightner…my hair has been without one of those things for the past week and it’s got a mind of its own. I’ve stopped trying to control it at this point. She dropped us off and we just chilled out and bummed around town for a bit—we live walking distance to Rundle Mall so it’s really nice. We’re basically in walking/tram distance from everything. We’re smack in the middle of the city.
Later that evening Lynda came back with her two girls. They’re in 10th and 11th grade and think we talk funny! It was really fun visiting with them…good thing they did too because for some reason from Cairns to Adelaide there is a 30 minute gain in time! We would have been late to our first day of work! We keep getting tired super super early at night…still not used to the time change. It’s moms birthday here…happy birthday!
Cheers,
Jayme
