A morning in Glenelg

We were looking to stay in and around Adelaide but didn't want to stay around the CBD or riverbank area so another option was needed. The botanic gardens are apparently very good but Gramps wasn't in the mood for walking too far so a line was ruled through that idea.

The tram runs through the Adelaide CBD with a stop not far from our hotel on South Terrace right at the back of the CBD. We wandered over to the South Terrace stop and boarded the tram for the beachside suburb of Glenelg, the tram staff were extremely helpful helping us purchase tickets on route. The centre of Glenelg is reasonably small, by what Glenelg lacks in size it certainly makes up for with natural beauty, the beach is magnificent.

We wandered out on the pier to view the beach looking back, a tractor was out raking the sand whilst only a few people lay on the beach. The beach was great although I never took a swim in South Australian waters, I suspect they would be a little colder than I have been used to, I doubt it would be a pleasant experience. We wandered around to the marina and adjoining parks before heading back to piazza for a coffee and catching the tram back to the CBD. I probably wouldn't spend the whole day at Glenelg but a weekday morning was a pretty good experience.
