Sea Day/Adelaide, Australia

Today was a sea day and port day rolled into one. Happy Valentine’s day to all our loved ones back in the states. Being a day ahead we had Valentine’s day here a day before so it feels like we had almost 48 hours of lovey dovey holiday this year. We set our clocks back .5 hours last night. That time change in always a strange one, only a half an hour.  I started my day with an acupuncture appointment at 8:00 am. I had never been to one before but had watched someone get it once. I felt some relief and am going to see him again tomorrow. It was explained that is is similar to chiropractic care in that you have to go a few times in a short period of time and then less often for maintenance. I ate breakfast solo this morning and gave Megan some extra time to sleep in. Then I got a chance to go to project Linus. After, I went with Megan to eat lunch. Then we headed home to read and get ready for the afternoon activities. The ship pulled into Adelaide Port and we were cleared to get off the ship at 2:00pm. Megan and I took the first train from the port into Adeleiade. The train was about a 40 minute ride and it was standing room only. So many passengers got off the ship and filled that first train out of the station. When we arrived in downtown Adelaide and walked around. We ate some fantastic sushi. Megan got a squish mellow, we found a cool toy store and we got a couple of puzzles too. Megan also found and bought pop tarts. We were excited to find a skate shop and I got a Santa Cruz Brand T-shirt. The shop owner was excited to meet someone “from” Santa Cruz and gave us some stickers from his shop. This shirt is special to me now  cause it’s from Australia. We also went into Lincraft and I bought some Australian Merino wool yarn and I am going to make myself something as a souvenir too. We walked about 10,000 steps today. We found a small Mexican restaurant before heading back to the train station and split an enchilada. There were way less people on the train heading home and we luckily got to sit. We spend the night in Adelaide and have an excursion tomorrow. We are showered and ready to hit the hay tonight. There are six squish mellows on my bed and Megan. It’s getting crowded in here. Lol!!
