Now in Adelaide - happy with a change of scenery

We had 2 days in Port Wakefield with the full moon rising and great sunsets. There are no supermarkets in port wakefield so a 25 km drive to Balaklava to pick up a few essentials and visit the butchers.
Left hand corner is Tim and then our view
Friday the 9th March we were on the move with Adelaide calling. We were looking for a change of scenery, we had, had our fill of dry paddocks......
Our drive was entertaining with a radio interview with Kevin Bloody Wilson with the ABC poised on the dump button. The interview was entertaining with a song about "put a spud in your duds or a murphy in your surfy..........in the front not the back which took us back to when Brooks was young :)
We were grateful to have Her Majesty in the box to take us around the outskirts of Adelaide to Christies Beach. The caravan park is smaller than some we have been to, but good, up from the beach and RLS club and promenade.
Sat we drove out to Hahndorf and we fell in love. Her Majesty in the box took a little while to wake up and get her act together (at the same time we were outside an RAA (RAC eqivalent) I got a map and then we were off working together to get to Hahndorf via the M1. Our journey took us through the
Adelaide hills our first stop was a wonderful fruit and vege shop (that was fresh food). Then down the streets into Hahndorf, it was a relaxing feeling, cooler and even autumn tone trees.



And there were shops pantry, chocolate, giftware, clocks, souvenirs, ugg boots, food, german food, icecream and..........We browsed and browsed had a little sit, then browsed Lenny held up well and browsed some more. At 3.30 pm it was time for some sustainence for the boy so we stopped at one of the german places and ordered a small meal!!!! We had to take half home in the esky. Did I mention it was a metre long german hot dog!!

After lunch we browsed the other side of the street, not quite as good as the other side except for the gallery we found. There were some tissue silk dyed scarves and some felted/needlefelted pieces. The work was lovely and exciting, she had more uniformity to her pieces than mine.......I believe I have a chance to sell mine as soon as I get the swing tags made. :)
