Good Morning Adelaide.. Well the North of it

As promised, here is the second post for the night.

On the recent weekend that has zoomed past, couple of my friends DA and AP decided to roam the city and we had an absolute ball. However, for some unknown reason, I decided to wake up extremely early on Sunday morning. It was a cold, winterish morning; the sun was playing peek-a-boo so it was a bit unpredictable.

I was actually in real need of coffee and was quick hungry (which was unusual considering I ate extremely late, or early some might say). This was of course at around 7.30 in the morning. As I was on O'Connell Street in North Adelaide and the sun was shining, I decided to stroll down the street (yes in my Adidas track pants, Nike jumper and Tigers...I really look like a crazy sports guy up ridiculously early on a Sunday morning). I was really surprised that not only was Un Caffè Bar open, but the machine was ready to go, with their range of take-away breakfast all set up in the fridge ready to go.

What I really love about this particular coffee joint is the location; whether you're sitting indoors or out, on a sunny day, it is beautiful. The sun comes in and just hits the right sections of the store. So I decided to order my usual coffee (my usual at Un Caffè is large skim cappuccino with an extra shot of coffee) and as I was rather peckish, I had to get one of their quick take-away breakky:

Berry granola topped with Greek yoghurt and fresh mixed berries
The granola was a nice mixture of corn-flakes, granola pieces, bits of muesli, dried fruits, and some other bits and pieces. The yoghurt with the mixed berries was a nice substitute for milk (I don't think I was ready to have too much milk this early in the morning since I haven't exercised). It is just a nice and clean start to the day to break the fast on a lovely Sunday morning. If you are ever down O'Connell Street in North Adelaide extremely early on a Sunday morning, I suggest you pop by for a visit for a fantastic way to start your day.
