Yvonne & Wendy stayed home today while Greg & I cycled into the city, We visited the botanical gardens,city mall & SA museum, a quite large complex. It was a hot ride home with temperature in the mid 30s. This will be a quite boring days post although I quite enjoyed it..
A bus station on the way into town. The buses can drive on the road or they can engage small side wheels which take over the steering & travel along concrete bus tracks, really fast. You can just see where they enter the bus tracks in the distance.
Here is a bus zooming past on the self steering concrete rails. They also use the long bendy buses.
The front entrance of the very old & established botanical gardens.
The end on view of the tropical house, it is a broad glass fan shape from the side. It was very hot & humid inside, but the plants seemed to love it.
