July 1- Adelaide

Horrible hangover. That is all I can say. In Melbourne the parties never end, so to wake up early for a flight was as bad as it got. See, today we had to leave the airbnb super early to make our flight to Adelaide. The weird thing about airports in Australia from what we’ve seen is that they have plenty of counters to check people and their bags into flights, but they don’t have enough attendants at those counters to check people in. You’d think that they realized this by now when the line to check your bag is over an hour! And then you just zip through security?? What is this mess.

After a really rough flight and sitting in the middle seat, we made it to our hotel in Adelaide called Hotel Peppers. This place was stunning. We couldn’t check in yet so we wandered around the town. It didn’t seem like you could spend weeks in the city just touring, but there were some cute little restaurants and scenery around with the mountains.

We ended up at this really small-town pancake place, and I got an incredible Russian crepe thing with cream inside and a reduced blueberry sauce. Today was our chill and explore day and we ended up back at the hotel ordering pizza at night.

We had some good quality family time and then mom, shayna and I went into the hot tub to decompress. Tomorrow is a big day so we had to go to bed relatively early!
