Adelaide for the weekend- what to do?
 
Hi Myself and Mrs JJonboy find ourselves in Adelaide for the weekend, just visiting/ sightseeing.

Apart from a visit to the Greedy Goose (already scheduled) what else is there to see or do? Local insight please BE's???

Stroll round the Botanical Gardens

Have a picnic (with jumper on perhaps!) in one of the parks

Take a pedalo from Jolly's Boathouse on the river

Drive to Mount Lofty for great views over Adelaide to the coast
Visit the market on Gouger Street(?) for mouthwatering food and goodies

Sit at a Teppanyaki counter in the Hyatt Regency for a memorable dinenr and chat to the Japanese chef (take your VISA card!!)

Stroll along Glenelg beach as the sun sets and find somewhere with a view for dinner

Buy and eat a whole cheesecake from The Cheesecake Shop (all over Adelaide).

Have a coffee (or a glass of sav blanc) sitting outside a cafe on Melbourne Street or O'Connell Street.

Visit the Penfolds restaurant and winery on the outskirts of the city...

...sigh.... can you tell I'm missing the place?!
