Arrived in Adelaide for Supanova
Got into Adelaide yesterday afternoon after 2.5 hours of flights and waiting in Melbourne for two hours.
Very hot in Adelaide yesterday.
Had some very nice Barramundi for dinner last night.
Going into the city today and maybe do some shopping.
Although the hotel has free WiFi and Ethernet in the room the mobile reception is excellent. Only about 50 metres from a cell tower.

Heading back
Got to wait about an 1.5 hours.
It was either hang around the hotel or the QANTAS Club.
The Club is nicer.
Got another wait in Melbourne for 1.5 hours. On the way from Melbourne to Adelaide the automated checkin system offered me an earlier flight but I declined and it was better as I had to wait over an hour for the hotel to get the room ready.
I was there before the normal checkin time.
I checked this morning to see if there was an earlier flight from Adelaide to Melbourne so I could connect to the earlier Hobart flight but no luck.
