Adelaide is awesome. Highly underrated and some of the nicest and friendliest people on the planet. I’d pack my bags and leave the U.S. behind in a heartbeat to live there if I could.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Adelaide is AWESOME! I wish we could have spent more time there... and I hear what you're saying hahaha! If it was easy we'd be headed for Australia too!!

[@derekhobbs1102]

It's interesting seeing my city from a visitor's perspective.

[@IfWeGoTo]

You’re lucky to live there! Adelaide is a fun city, hoping to make it back and explore more of the region one day! 😃

You had us at chocolate! The time-lapse chewing though. 🤣 "Fossils & stuff" AND bats??? Super cool! We always enjoy your videos - thanks guys!

Wow that means so much to us!!! Thank you for your very kind comment! Hope you get out there and achieve your wanderlust dreams!!

[@Ruba0o0]

Same here I’m going to be there to study abroad around the same time too😮 and this video made me excited to be there even more ❤

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Wow quite a nice walk thru, the museum at the Adelaide University is amazing. The amount of Aboriginal Artifacts is awesome... as primitive as they have been : very artistic, and looks like they put a lot of thought, to create weapons or hunting tools.. Thanks very much for this Adventure, quite educational. 👦🏻👍🏻🏢🏩🏨🏰

[@IfWeGoTo]

We loved that museum! Totally agree, the aboriginal and Asia/pacific collections were amazing! If you ever get the chance to visit the museum is huge! Only a couple shots made it into the video! Lol

[@franceslock1662]

Primitive???

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

@@franceslock1662 No metallurgy. No metal tools or metal weapons. They were still mostly stone aged people, flint, arrow 🏹 Poison Darts. Sword were introduced by Spanish Conquistadores. That's primitive compared to Europeans, or Asian

[@SalisburyKarateClub]

The reason why it's so cold is because July (assuming that's about when you did the video) is the middle of winter, summer can get up to the 40's. Hindley street pedantic fact is pronounced as in Hind leg

[@IfWeGoTo]

Yes!! We were there in May after driving from Melbourne. By then it had gotten so chilly, but the fall colors were pretty! :) didn’t know it go so hot there though! I shouldn’t be surprised! Hahaha, I wouldn’t have guess that for the pronunciation! Guess that’s why we never were able to mail the Aussie accent, even after being there over a year! lol

[@colincraigo5793]

Adelaide seems interesting it must be cold (for you) there.

[@IfWeGoTo]

It was very different from the other Australian cities we had visited!! lol Was cold, luckily we've moved on to a much warmer destination! ;)

[@bubgennefrosted1865]

I live in Adelaide and I'm embarrassed you went to the train station lol. Although it does look alot cleaner in your video. I hope you enjoyed the city anyway.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Why is that?? There was a bit of construction but I thought it was pretty nice! lol. If it makes you feel any better we went in Melbourne too 😂

I like your video tour is explanatory Video from Adelaide Central Market will be appreciated Furthermore how many universities are in Adelaide and how close they're to each other ?

Glad you liked it! We do have the Adelaide central market video up now, did the link to it work? If not it’s on our main page! :) As far as the universities go, I know there are 3 public ones. Flinders, university of Adelaide, and university of south Australia. I think they’re all in the heart of Adelaide. There are more schools too though!

[@franceslock1662]

I’ve been to Adelaide; locals avoid Hindley street. You should have gone to some of the many Art Galleries, and also the boutiques on King William Road towards Hyde Park. Henley, Grange and Tennyson beaches are beautiful and family friendly. Glenelg beach is for young singles. The Adelaide Botanical Gardens has free parking on Sundays. It’s easy to be COVID safe in Adelaide because there are so many beautiful outdoor destinations.

[@IfWeGoTo]

We’ll definitely have to check out some of those spots next time!! Thanks so much for the advice! Hopefully someone planning a visit sees it!
