Adelaide, Australia - City centre.

Hitting the Adelaide parks and bits. So, what to do with three Poles in Adelaide when it is about 33C? Take them around the city centre and the parks of course. Adelaide is nice because it is all flat and easy to get around. It also has the added advantage of a ring of parks around the city to make it green and cool.

The Adelaide Conservatory is a nice place to spend a little time on a hot day as it feels tropical and refreshing.

There is a great variety of growing plants.

And they make pretty views

Just a little walk away you will find the Amazon Water Lilly Pavilion.

Which has these cool door handles to enter with.

Lots of shade is needed with some strong South Australian sun.

The Palm House is from 1875 and imported from Germany, I really love the Victorian architecture.

You'll also find plenty of succulents inside.

Prickly things too.

And more succulents outside.

With all the heat there are some decent options to refresh as well.

The entrance to the old East End markets still has the rules of inspection.

I am not a big one for candles scented or otherwise, but it is my favourite beach and two of my favourite smells so this could be an option if I had to have one. Found at Urban Cow.

Łaziekni Gardens at night.

So in Summer, the Łazienki Gardens opened a new Chinese pavillion and garden that was in part donated by the Chinese government and was used to recreate the feeling a previous king had desired as he also had a Chinese garden at one stage.

We just had photos of the gardens in the day, so let's see some on the opening night of the garden. Also, a big thank you to all the mosquitoes for turning out on mass. They really celebrated the night hard. I am sure they had some intense blood hangovers the next morning.

So after all the mosquitoes, there there was a ghoul about! Time to run home!

Łazienki gardens day time

The days have been leaving me without much time, as they are getting shorter. So to remember the beautiful things sun can bring, here are some photos around Łazienki Gardens in Autumn to feel at least a little warmer than the -10C from yesterday.

These are all from the last Chopin concert of the season.

Ahhhh memories.
