Day 65 ~ 21,500 Miles

It has been a Chamber of Commerce weather day in Adelaide with lots of sun, comfortable temps, and a gentle breeze.

The Queen Mary 2 joined us in port this morning so our visit to the historic village of Hahndorf was a bit crowded with tourists. Our first encounter with a Hahndorf local was with an ol’ timer enjoying his morning coffee on his front porch watching the tourist parade pass by. After a quick g’day and discovering we were yanks he immediately began questioning us on the political disfunction of the US. since the current administration took office and the sanity and intellect of those electing it. And so the day began.

It would have been enjoyable to spend the day in Hahndorf exploring the shops and sharing a leisurely meal at one of the many restaurants with sidewalk seating but after just a couple of hours our time ended and we were off to our second visit to Mt. Lofty.

Mt. Lofty is the highest point near Adelaide and offers beautiful views of the Piccadilly Valley and the City.Read more
