I finally went to Marion Shopping Centre, which is in the suburb of Marion, and the suburb of Marion is in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. For those who didn’t know where Marion is. On the way to the shopping centre we drove past Jetty Road down at Glenelg, and the very place where I got to met Tim and Graeme in the Dymocks bookstore.
Once we reached Marion we couldn’t believe how big the place was, its about twice the size of Tea Tree Plaza Shopping centre, which is the Shopping centre close to were I live. At Marion Shopping centre there is something like 410 specialty shops, a cinema, and a bowling place in the one building. All this was on two floors of the shopping complex. The first place we started was on the second floor, because it was lunch time, so we headed to the food court.
I tucked into a Bolognese spud, which for those who don’t know what that is, it’s a potato cooked with its skin on, then cut open, then it has butter, Bolognese sauce, and cheese put on top. Once we got lunch over and done with we started our way along the second floor, and the first shop I went into was the ABC shop. To see what good stuff they had available in there, but they had nothing different to the ABC shop at the TPP shopping centre.
Once we made our way through the second floor we went back down to the bottom floor, and checked out the shops down there. One of them being JB’s HI-FI store, I managed to pick up some really good blank cd’s for a good price. Overall the trip to Marion was a good one, but a long one.
