More stadia!

From http://bvetsfootballgroup.blogspot.com/

Greetings from Adelaide - we're on a trip Down Under, visiting our daughter. We stopped off at Hong Kong on the way and came across the Hong Kong Jockey Club at Happy Valley Racecourse:



We moved on to Oz and over to Adelaide where the Tour Down Under (featuring Lance Armstrong) was taking place. We went to see the final day when they do a circuit of 20 laps (90km total) round the city centre. Here's the start:


The circuit goes round the Adelaide Oval, where the Barmy Army are due back tomorrow (Australia Day) for a One Day International. It's a superb stadium in a fantastic setting - renowned as one of the prettiest in the world:



Unfortunately, my plans to go and see the ODI have been scuppered by my daughter who has bought us tickets to go to Barossa Valley and watch Sting in concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in an outdoor setting - oh well - another time perhaps.
