My laidback summer holiday (by default) in Adelaide

IT’S summer and I am freezing. Yes, I am visiting Down Under, my first trip abroad in a year. And what a difference a year makes. My last trip was to Busan, South Korea, last December, where I enjoyed a mild winter. Now I am in the midst of a sizzling Australian summer but I am having the shivers.

I am writing this in Adelaide where my daughter, Jill, settled one-and-a-half years ago. It’s my first visit to this South Australian city and I wouldn’t have come if not for her because on all my many visits to this country I go to Sydney and Melbourne where I have relatives.
