We survived the terror of Adelaide Gaol!

Sometime it's fun to slide in some education into your weekend. Marie and I went to visit the famous Adelaide Gaol on Sunday morning after a bit doubt whether guided tours are still happening in today's 37degree heat.


Our tour guide was Lyn, a nice old lady although I can't stop thinking that she has a slight similarity to Quasimodo. She walked and showed us around the jail, of course told us some unique stories about the buildings, bricks, body waste (ewwww), famous inmates, officers, hangman, some ghosts here and there.

Interesting fact: the last hanged prisoners was Mah Poo, a chinese man who killed his chinese boss over some argument. Everyone gasped when Marie suddenly said 'Oh, he has same family name with me!'
Another interesting thing also happened when Marie bought a souvenir pin for her hat. She accidentally dropped her $2 coin then when she squatted down she found 2 $2 coins! I think our visit to the Gaol was absolutely about Marie!
