Still in Adelaide

Yesterday (29/5) we went out for a drive to the Adelaide hills, to Hahndorf for a ride, a settlement of Germans that was started in 1839. Lots of very old stone buildings, but apart from names or the type of food and drink, you couldn't really guess it was German, very nice little town though. I had a currywurst, which is a German sausage with curry tomato sauce over the sausage and also some curry powder as well, was very much like an Oktoberfest meal.

We then decided to just drive around the hills, and followed a couple of scenic drives and eventually found the giant rocking horse. We then found the Gorge scenic drive, which was along some very narrow roads and up and down some windy roads on some of the hills. This also took us past the Kangaroo creek catchment area for part of the Adelaide power supply.

Today (30/5) we went for a drive to the Barossa Valley for a look around, we weren't that interested in Wine tasting, more looking and and seeing a few things other than wine in the area. Jiggles was our tour director. It was a very nice area to look around, was pretty quiet there though today. We had a walk around Angaston, a pie from a bakery in Tanunda, a look at the Lyndoch lavender farm, a keg coopers work shop and a Greenock brewery. :)

Next we have the footy tomorrow Adelaide v HAWTHORN.
