1 week in australia

[PerkyOchrePeer]

I absolutely love south australia. I have been ti adelaide twice and seen most of the tourist sites. If I went again I would go for a week just to relax and soak up the atmosphere. I know adelaude very well so it wouldn't be a case of finding my way around because I know what's where and stepping out of my hotel I would know where I want to go and how to get there without having to look at a map just like I can navigate round my own home town.

Would it be worth it for a week

Two days to get there and two days back? Presuming you are in the uk, I wouldn’t

It is so far away I wouldn't .

Its one day not two. Ive just come back from adelaide and flew out on the Friday and landed in uk on the saturday

It's too far a week. Is there noway you can make ot longer?

I think it depends on a few things. I once went to Sydney for 5 days because I had a free ticket which only allowed me to go for 5 days (long story). Like you, I’d been there twice before so I’d already ticked off most attractions and I knew my way around. I had a great time - very relaxing and chilled out. I spent time at the beach, wandered around markets and nice shops, had some lovely lunches. (And randomly did a sky dive on one day 😱).
My ticket was biz class though so I had a flat bed, which does help. And I was 40 years old - now that I’m late 50s I don’t know if I could hack it!

A one week holiday is better than no holiday, but that distance for a week would wreck me, so while I’d enjoy the time away, the travel and going straight back to work would see me exhausted, not refreshed.

If you’ve only got a week, go somewhere closer to home.

I think it’s a little too far for me personally, but if it’s just you going and you don’t need to think about how kids will cope - why not?

I have looked at doing 8 days in Oz but it was also with Singapore and a Disney cruise beforehand which would have helped with jet lag

It also depends on what you’re doing when you get back… could you manage work with jet lag..?

If your body can cope why not but I live in Sydney and the flight from Europe has me flattened for up to five days. I really like Adelaide too, first time I saw koalas in the wild was in the Adelaide Hills so I can see why you would want to go.

Our next trip to Europe is lasting ten weeks and we are flying business which is the only way I agreed to do it.

It seems odd you want to waste your time coming to Australia.
