Sight seeing day today. I went out for a fantastic brunch at a hipster cafe for Adelaide's version of Mexican. It was nothing like Mexican but it was still good. On my way I broke my shoe. Walking around with a broken flip flop really is no fun. After breakfast I went in search of a new shoe at the market and found $4 flip flops with Australian flags. Works for me. So I tossed the broken ones and tasted all of the best food from the market.(yes just shortly after brunch). There were huge almond toffee meringues that were good but just a bit to much.  Next I got a free bicycle from the city's bicycle share program. I biked along the river and up to the penfold's winery. They are a very fancy and well known Australian winery. By that point all the exploring had worn me out so I went back to relax before dinner. I was going to have a lovely dinner date with my tall athletic friend from Adelaide at "From Orient" a chineese fusion restaurant but then we met Bob. Bob is a very opinionated, quite bogan salesman from Adelaide who is now living just south of Melbourne. He struck up conversation when he wanted to try our wine. We joked and declined to share but he continued to talk to us for the remainder of our meal which lasted another hour or so. Bob was funny but I could have handled a bit less of him.
