    What a great start!! Our lovely neighbours gave us such a great send off.

    Aelaide Central Market

    9. mai 2025, Australia ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    Adelaide Central Market is a party for your senses. There is no other Market like this, in Australia anyway. Cheeses, butchers, seafood , mushroom shops to even milk from the Fleurieu Peninsula. Specialist gourmet restaurants selling Italian foods, Spanish, seafood and oyster bars. Mandys favourite is Portuguese Tart place called Saudade. Andrew likes O'Connell's butchers which has a smoker and you can buy fresh smoked Chickens.Les mer

    Great day, started hanging out with my step brother Chris in Semaphore, then we went to Rundle Mall, Festival Theatre, then Big Shed Brewing in Woodville.

    Barossa Wineries

    12. mai 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Spent our first morning in the Barossa looking for a German cake which is something like a Beesting. My cousins said we had to eat one.
    We then went to an amazing winery was abandoned for 10 years till the new owners bought it sight unseen, "Chateau Tanunda" which is 130 years old. Next we visited Seppeltsfield home of the Para Liquor Port, they even had a 100 year old port which you could taste for $180 small glass. We didn’t partake.Les mer

    Flowers

    13. mai 2025, Australia ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    We saw Andrew’s family on Sunday (Mother’s Day). His Aunty Lorraine was so thoughtful and gave me some beautiful flowers from her garden. I’ve been careful with them putting them in the sink when we’re on the move and they’re a brightening up our little van beautifully. Thanks Aunty Lorraine. ❤️ (one photo in Sunday and one today)

    I had a lovely day chatting with my girls and Zach messaged from Japan .

    A lovely day overall.    Les mer

    14. mai 2025, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Fabulous few days in the Barossa Valley.
    Yesterday we took it slowly and soaked up the great weather.

    We visited Henschke in Keyneton tasting some great wines.

    Today Andrew’s Uncle Peter, Aunty Lorraine and cousin Chris took us to a couple of lesser known vineyards for tastings - Gumpara and Gibsons.

    Lorraine grew up here in Nuriootpa. Learned a lot about the area.

    Also got to see some beautiful flower arrangements at the flower club morning Lorraine invited us to.    Les mer

    Diesel sprays, Pikes wines and beers

    15. mai 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Wow I did the most stupid thing today, I tried filling a Jerry can with high flow truckers diesel, needless to say it sprayed me all over my jeans, socks and shoes ( fk #$#@#). Things got better after we arrived at Polish Hill (Clare) to try Pikes Wines and Beers. Very dry out here with farmers suffering in drought. Hopefully Lake Eyre flooding will bring some rain. Camped at Blyth tonight on the sports oval.
    We set up starlink and got it working. Tomorrow we start heading into the Flinders Rangers.    Les mer
