Had a leisurely breakfast in the restaurant on the ground floor of the apartments. We have a $20 voucher for breakfast and $40 for dinner. The service is still pretty average and it was difficult to tell the waiters from the punters as they don't wear any uniform or name tag.
I took the tram from Glenelg to the city to take in a bit of Adelaide culture. It's a great service and only two minutes walk from the apartments. I visited the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Migration Museum, being a migrant myself!! I wasn't quite sure what some of the themes of the exhibitions were depicting at the art gallery ie the "2022 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art" ; Free/State - Contemporary Art. Some weird exhibits and some really clever ones. Yayoi Kusana : "The spirits of the Pumpkin descending into the heavens". There was a room that looked like the inside of a pumpkin all dots and mirrors. There were warnings about leaning over too far and losing your balance!!

The Migration Museum told the story of the migrants who came from all over the world to South Australia. Unfortunately a couple of the exhibition areas were closed for renovation. I didn't see Gerry's name on the role of honour.

In the evening I had dinner with Gerry at Cardones along Jetty Road from my apartment. The food was excellent and we had a good natter catching up.

Tomorrow we are off to Mount Gambier unfortunately the forecast is for wet weather all day.
