The problem with visiting a small city that was really a stopover just to see friends, is that the amount of research that gets done is minimal. This became obvious to us in our three days in Adelaide. Our original plan was to meet up with someone Lesley worked with over thirty years and last met on their visit to the UK went two years ago. However, they were going to be out of town at a family function when we were there. Good planning by us. When we also discovered the less than salubrious area our hotel was in it slowed us down a little. Eventually, the people and graffiti or street art started to interest me whether it was this guy, who with his friends were recovering from the night before.
Although some seemed to be starting on the next days dose over breakfast.
The majority of people were waiting around for the shops in Rundle Mall to open while deeply engrossed in their devices.
Sadly even ignoring the busker playing to a reasonably good standard.
At one end I found the Colonial Mutual Building, which I found to some degree nostalgic. Over the years I have been interviewed for jobs at three Australian insurance companies including Colonial Mutual two of the jobs were based in London and one in Sydney. I didn’t get any of them. Two were with mutual life companies which sadly a dying if not extinct breed.
