Riding the buses

Ever since I got my Seniors Card (at 60) I've thought it would be fun to hop on one of the many buses that goes along Anzac Highway near where we stay in town and just see where it ended up and then catch another one and then another and...
I also had a bit of a yen to go on the OBahn.
Well at last it happened!
Last Saturday we had some spare time (it was either that or clean the house) and thought we'd pop into town to see a SALA exhibition of the work of Andrew McDonough who does the Cecil the Sheep books that we often use for Holiday Adventures with Primary School kids.
We waited a few minutes and a random bus came along saying it wsa going to Tea Tree Plaza. It had to go into the city so we hopped on. Five or six minutes and we were at our destination but in a moment of daring we decided to stay on and experience the OBahn and TTP.
Well that was fun! I don't like shopping centres but not bad for a walk on a rainy day and we had coffee (not the cheapest and not the dearest - and not the best) then hopped on the bus back into town.
Lunch, then a bit of a walk to the SALA event and then a bus home.
What a day! Phew, can't say I'm not  a jet setter!!
