    Last day in Adelaide

    As we already have booked the flight back to Sydney this evening, we are not supposed to go far today.
     
    The St. Peter's Church - The most beautiful Anglican Church in Adelaide, which just 1 minute ride away from the apartment we rented.
     
    Distinguished from Sydney, the beaches of Adelaide lay on the west side off city. Just 20 minutes ride, we drive our way to GLenelg, a coastal town which pretty nice.

    Finally, we walked down to the east end of Rundle Street. There are so many restaurant, bistros and wine bar lay on this session. And some boutique shop could be more elegant than those of Sydney.

    The city of church - We occasionally encountered the weekly youth activity of an Anglican Church on the North Terrace. The staff there told us that it is the oldest church of Adelaide. And there are so many different type of church in this city. Most of them hold the long history, not only for the architecture.

    BTW, the apartment we rented is very nice. It is recommended to live if visiting Adelaide, the detailed information can be retrieved at http://www.majestichotels.com.au/ola_overview.htm

    Old lion apartments – the two bedrooms suite which contains 4 people just cost $182 – absolutely smart choice!

    Wat's On

    Just back from South Head, the farthest down-end point of Sydney's east suburb, which isolated much from the annoying reality. It seems like that those area got such magic to bring me good luck every time, never failed this. I can still remember the perfect circled moon on the night sky when leaving last time, and then we encounter with a really big giant cruise exporting today, slowly and elegant.

    Thanks god for giving so lovely a girl to accompany me enjoying this sunny windy weekend. That makes me feel really really great! When passing by the Wastons Bay's Pub, I found an interesting sign beside the corridor - Guess what's their interpreting of Watsons - " Wat's On Dude!"

    Even nothing happened, I still really appreciate such lucky, just post on a video here to share it - " Lucky " - Jason Mraz feat Colbie Caillat

       

    And you must trust me that, the landscape of Watsons Bay and South Head is thousands times better than what you see in this video. So just make your escape plan right now and you can't miss it out. 


    The Lyrics - Lucky

    (Jason)
    Do you hear me,
    I’m talking to you
    Across the water across the deep blue ocean
    Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying

    (Colbie)
    Boy I hear you in my dreams
    I feel your whisper across the sea
    I keep you with me in my heart
    You make it easier when life gets hard

    (Both)
    I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
    Lucky to have been where I have been
    Lucky to be coming home again
    Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
    Oooh ooh ooh ooh

    (Both)
    They don’t know how long it takes
    Waiting for a love like this
    Every time we say goodbye
    I wish we had one more kiss
    I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

    (Both)
    I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
    Lucky to have been where I have been
    Lucky to be coming home again
    Lucky we’re in love every way
    Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
    Lucky to be coming home someday

    (Jason)
    And so I’m sailing through the sea
    To an island where we’ll meet
    You’ll hear the music fill the air
    I’ll put a flower in your hair

    (Colbie)
    Though the breezes through trees
    Move so pretty you’re all I see
    As the world keeps spinning round
    You hold me right here right now

    (Both)
    I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
    Lucky to have been where I have been
    Lucky to be coming home again
    I’m lucky we’re in love every way
    Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
    Lucky to be coming home someday

    Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
    Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
