Adelaide.... still

As it says above. Its a lovely town and all that but we'd really like to get going. First we had to wait the weekend for the "full service and check" from the garage. Then we picked up the van, headed into the hills with our car man Nick to pick up some curtains. As we pulled off the freeeway all sorts of alarming grinding noises started (like when you visit Stephen's ma). Then the car wouldnt go into reverse. Luckily, Nick defied all used car salesman stereotypes. Invited us in for dinner, let us park in his backyard for the night and then drove the van back into town and agreed to pay for all repairs!!!! So thats where we are now. Hopefully car should be ready for tomorrow (Vallies Day) and we can head somewhere nice.

What else have we been doing... camping for free in a lovely carpark beside the beach. Even has a toilet block and cold outdoor shower - what a treat! Visited the drive through off licence - they're EVERYWHERE. And went to the cinema to see Juno. You should go watch it too, its fab.
$3 vodkas in the local Irish bar go down pretty well and we've done some stunning indoor carpentry pimping to the van. Bed now on hinges so we have mini replicas of our bedroom floors under the bed but nice and neat on top. I wonder if that's possible in an actual room...?

Lots of love to all :) Especially YOU.
