Well rested after a lovely sleep in our little attic suite we breakfasted and headed off to the village of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. The drive was lovely, full of more quaint buildings and very green considering how hot it gets here.
Hahndorf is a very quaint (I seem to be using that word a lot but nothing else suits) German village with shops selling unusual and local faire. Chris and Rob's sons, Andrew and Ben own and run The Hahndorf Inn and that is where we lunched on authentic German food. The servings were huge and We all had schnitzel with a stein of beer for Lance (after his beer tasting tray). In fact the chicken schnitzel was so huge that I am wondering how big the chook must have been! As we ate we were seranaded by a German musician and we sang along to 'The Happy Wanderer. How can my brain dredge up the words to this song that I learned when I was only 11years old?
Wandering through the village we made several purchases and the place was pretty busy. The temperature is pleasant again today with a high of 23 degrees Celsius and blue, blue skies.
We meandered home with a tiki tour of some beautiful streets and a visit to the Lookout. Adelaide is very flat and you could see for miles.
Our New Years Eve was tame but fun filled. When we lived in P.N.G with Chris and Rob playing cards was a big part of our entertainment, with another couple Laurel and Ron. Chris, Laurel and I attended Bridge every week, sometimes twice a week. And often on a Saturday night we would share a meal and play euchre, with copious amounts of a variety of beverages. It didn't take us long to get back in the groove, but alas the boys whipped the pants off us, metaphorically speaking, don't visualise.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
