Introduction
All of a sudden, my EB announced that he could graduate in this semester, however, unlike 2005 December,  Cherry is the only one in family available for his grad. ceremony, and the trip started in the dark!│
4 月上旬大佬方confirm 終能畢業，看到自己duty 己出，幸復活節致令這月較多day off，幾經轉折/ 懊惱，終能以里數換免費機票匆匆起程……│

Itineary

Day 0 (15/4) Chilling
After work and watched a movie with my good classmate, enjoy our post-Good Friday dinner and then start the journey~~│
收工，約了好同學睇戲；帶著重重的紅白藍尼龍袋到文化中心，晚飯後立即出發~~

Day 1 (16/4) Sunny
Just arrived and then moved to Botanic garden+ national wine centre, afterward go ahead to a nearby hospital where EB just finished his placement (#01) for a light meal......Pacing around enjoyed ice-cream (#15) till dawn│
上午到埗，大佬接機後即住botanic garden 行公園& National Wine Centre 上紅酒tutorial，下午往隔鄰大佬剛完成placement 之醫院 (#01)買了個3 明治 (復活假期關係這裡變了死城)。打算無聊再到Adelaide zoo，但入場費居然要AUD16!  轉身即走。之後來了杯雪糕(#15)，再上5:30pm 尾班車回家~~

Day 2 (17/4) Rainy
Joined a local tour to Barossa Valley.  Been to the whispering wall, an acoustic phenomena which carries a whispered conversation 150 meters (#17-20);  the Yaldara Chateau, landmark of Barossa, we had a winery tour with sampling several reds, whites and fortified wines (#21-26), as well as a delicious 3 course lunch.  However, it started raining when we going to Grant Burge the  5th generation family winery (#27-28), Mengler's Hill (#29) and Langmeil wines (#30)~~ │
參加了local tour 往Barossa Valley，居然有一班香港師奶同行。午飯時間見除他們大聲講話以外，同桌的人都鴉雀無聲。我們則被安排跟幾位從melbourne 來的韓國/ 日本留學生同桌lunch ……午後一直下雨，只能一直wine tasting：sight/ smell/ shake 嘛……最美中不足的是步行葡萄田環節因天雨關係取消了……

Day 3 (18/4) Shower
Not knowing why but both of us seemed tired.  Slept till 9am then went to downtown for state Library & SA Museum.  Joined the PM tour to Beerenbery Strawberry Farm (#33-34) & Hahndorf, a historic German village (#35-49).  Can't help  exclaimed, we've been the right place at the right time~~│
不知何故大家都很累，結果中午才到市中心。於State Library, South Aust. Museum 逛夠了再join 下午往Hahndorf 之tour，同團的人多是耆英，哈。未能走入士多啤梨園 (#33-34)看(AUD2@) & 摘(AUD5.8 /kg)雖有點可惜……唯有安慰自己貴+ 下雨天+ 出產己至尾聲吧~~說回話來Hahndorf 實在一個好地方，這裡雖只能說是一條商業街，然而漫天紅橙黃綠落葉，實在吸引。更於某souvenior 店找到洒有金粉之Nut cracker 只售AUD20~~可惜理智與感情下還是把它放下……5:30pm 回城，趕好最後一班上山之巴士，非公眾假期可省回不少腳力!

Day 4 (19/4) Shower
Wandering around in the city.  Walked along the Torrens riverside (#53-57) to the North Adelaide.  Passed by Adelaide Oval (#58), St Peter Catherdral (#59-60).......then Rundle Mall for a coffee.  Enquiry both getting sick, so back home ASAP│
沒有節目的一天，特別悠閒。Hea 至12noon 才離家出發。趁天氣好立即到Torrens walk 看河 (#53-57) 及Popeye (船名而已)，順道過河路經Adelaide Oval (#58 城市最高點) 及St Peter Catherdral (#59-60)……開始下雨了。只好走進Rundle Mall某 food court 吃點東西，喝杯咖啡，接著竟不約而同的頭痛/ wing，只好回最近學校之shopping mall 添置糧食立即返家~~

Day 5 (20/4) Cloudy
Please note their way to wear the hood is a bit different from that of HK........thanks God│
畢業日天氣不穩，感恩仍可拍幾個照；原來這學校只能在畢業禮前一天借袍，及於畢業禮當日交袍~~下午再出發4 周逛，最高興能夠hea 書店~~還找到那本香港找不著的書「The death of Yugoslavia」~~可惜沒有即時買下……

Day 6 (21/4)
Left home as scheduled but something out of expectation........sigh.......│
雖如期離家，無奈時不予我，唉

Thoughts
These few nights in his tiny room (#16), we watched D/L animations amd had some discussion time, about applying PR, career path,  family.......every family had their own problem.......Indeed, it's a good time to experience EB's campus life & hardship endured.......│
這裡沒有夜生活，晚上只是屈在房裡 (#16)，與大佬多了discussion 時間；本打算來到這裡要好好練習一下英文，誰料每晚播bt 來的日本動畫……練listening 似的……另外這幾天只是不停的食食食，熟Cherry 者應知我如何以水渡日，不過大佬認為越洋來到應多嚐道地美食。但見他生活艱難，又沒人一起分享，試問他又嚐過許多嗎? 還記得某天大佬點名買洋蔥圈，指出「香港不常有」之餘，吃的時候亦吐出「對上一次食洋蔥圈就係12/2005一家到來之時。」有點無奈、感慨……誠然，這亦是體會大佬異鄉孤單生活之唯一時候……
