Couchsurfing in Adelaide, South Australia

For the first time in 4 months Steffi and me decided to split up while we are in Adelaide. So we surfed different couches and will meet up again on the airport back to Melbourne. Best decision at that time, we both needed a break and different points of view. My couch was at Marcelos place, he even picked me up from the airport how welcoming is that.

First stop the beach in Glenelg, get to know each other a little, watching the sea, sailing boats and a pink hammer limousine. Marcelo is originally from Chile living in Australia since the 80ies, professional traveller, photographer by heart and just 12 days older than me.

We went directly to a couchsurfing party at Phil’s and Hugh’s home, a lovely and creative gay couple. We had awesome vegetarian food, were told the ancient story of a local myth animal, watched a fire show and sang of course cabaret songs. There I talked to a girl and had my first realtime report about the aboriginal situation in south australia. She is a genetic student helping out in a hospital in the bush of south australia and learning their language, which is in danger of dying out. Still aboriginals get bad medical and social treatment, their land gets stolen or is not respected.

Marcelo draged me out of that conversation, otherwise I would have been sucked in for the rest of the night. We drove to another place in Adelaide and honestly I can not remember the name of the pub, not because I was drunk or anything, but we have been in so many bars, clubs and pubs in Adelaide I can not even count them, one cooler than the other. Original victorian style pubs, grunge, filled with posters, art, grafitti, live bands (hard rock) and people. We ended up at shivago’s dancing and singing to 80ies and 90ies disco music, finally going home and unpacking my bagpack.
