Adelaide : An Afternoon of Flea Market Shopping @ Port Adelaide

The streets of Adelaide on a weekend is so eerily quiet and you just breeze through the 20 kilometers  or so from our place in South Elizabeth to our weekend destination, Port Adelaide in less than an hour.

A normally buzzling port town, we arrive to a Port Adelaide with less tourists, a few locals walking about, and a few sea gulls.....hahahha

The foundation of Port Adelaide was established on January 1837 when the harbourmaster took up residence with his family in the area and eventually other settlers followed over the years. Today, the place still retained a lot of its 19th-century establishments and buildings.

We came here though for the Fisherman's Wharf Sunday flea market. For a little bit of shopping of course! 

Located near the waterfront side next to the Lighthouse, its a two-storey market housed in a converted warehouse, selling everything from old magazines, curios, paintings, books, to even potted plants and pet products!

I would love to have a whole afternoon to browse through. Once tired from shopping, you can grab a cup of coffee and sit near the waterfront, wait for the ferry (Port Princess Dolphin Cruises) to disembark its passengers and people-watch.....or you can just enjoy the breeze coming from the water.

A nice place to spend your Sunday afternoon.......
