Day.17 & .18. Henley, Glenelg & Kayaking

Day 17, yesterday we did a 50k ride to Henley & Glenelg & watched the start of another leg of the TDU. We followed up with dinner at the Walkers Arms pub & a big storm that blew like crazy for a short while & rained off & on throughout the night.
Today, day 18, we put the kayaks in near Port Adelaide, with 6 other people that Wendy & Greg know & paddled out to see the dolphins, which is exactly what happened. It turns out dolphins are grey & pretty boring. Lunch at the Birkenhead hotel, which was very nice & a walk around the port precint.

Cycling is big in Adelaide, we are told this was a quiet weekday, its standing room only on weekends, all funded by cyclists.
