We had a very trouble-free flight with Virgin Australia from Sydney to Adelaide. Our clocks went back 30 minutes and we landed as scheduled at 7.55pm.
We were soon in a taxi heading for the Majestic Roof Garden Hotel in the centre of Adelaide (well reviewed on TripAdvisor and good value if booked a long time in advance and with a no cancellation / no changes clause!)
We dropped our bags and went next door to a very good pizza place for a late meal before calling it a day.
Next morning we had a leisurely get up and then headed out to explore the city. Breakfast was in a cafe in the basement of one of the many mini shopping malls/arcades and on we went along the central, pedestrianised area ....
