I really am a lousy tourist. I'd rather stay home. But since we're here we've been out and about. But I'm always glad to get back to where we're staying. Make a cuppa, read a book etc
I tried hard to enjoy the Aquarium (glad that my trusty Seniors Card had again helped reduce the price considerably) but after a bit one fish looks like another. We sat and watched the penguins for quite a while. Very interesting but shrieking little kids liked them too.
As we walked across town to get there and then caught the tram back it occurred to me that what really interests me is people. You don't get the same variety in Barmera. I know now that what goes with footless tights is little short shorts. Maybe not for me.
Perhaps people watching explains why I prefer the sociological type displays in museums - how people live or used to and why I like TV such as Talking Heads and Australian Story.
We turned on the TV last night (well we are on holiday!) and apart from a bit of diving at the Commonwealth Games the most fun was watching what turned out to he the video surveillance of the front door of the hotel.
Holidays. You gotta love them!
