Into
the city of Adelaide, we get in touch with the friends that we made
in Rainbow Serpent festival. With a cold beer waiting for us and a
warm welcome, we feel instantly at ease meting new and old faces. We
enjoy the eve with like minded people that are so generous to take us
in.
Everyone we had
met at the festival a month earlier had offered us, our van and even
our mate Chaz a space to camp which was lovely of them. We take Tom
up on his offer and so, were camped up behind his house which is
situated between two catering companies, with Chaz's tent at the rear
of the van. Car park dwellers, proper gypsy style! The catering
companies don't seem to mind our presence to much, even though the
car park is somewhat more compact than usual. In fact yesterday they
even brought us round some beautiful smoked salmon which needed
eating, we saw to that!
The city has a
large asian community and our first visit down town leads us into
China Town which surrounds the central market, a vast indoor market
dedicated to fresh fruit and vegetables and generally all things
tasty and wholesome (and not-so wholesome too!). We're there on
Saturday and an hour before the market closes until monday the place
turns insane, pretty much everything is reduced to a dollar, “ONE
DOLLAR A BAG!!”. Hectic but great for a bargain, we take advantage
and hold a curry night for our hosts and friends.
