Friday July 17th, 2009 : Mt. Lofty and Hahndorf

Mary was working the 7 am – 7 pm shift today so I Dave and I went out on our own. First we headed over to his middle child’s (Damien) place. Dave and Mary had bought him and his girlfriend a clothes dryer because when they stopped by the other day they had laundry lines hanging across the living room to dry clothes on, so Dave and Mary decided they need a dryer. We dropped it off and Dave installed it for them. Dave and I then headed up to Mount Lofty which has a lookout point over the city. We looked down on to the city and saw off to the peninsulas to the west and east and apparently on a real clear day you can see Kangaroo Island. We however were not able to see the island even though it was a reasonably clear day. It was a nice day though and got a lovely view over the greater city area and the water. We then headed a little bit more east to the city of Hahndorf. Hahndorf is a city that was settled by German settlers and still has a German feel and look to it. Dave and I went to a German hotel/pub for lunch and I did it up right, German style. An imported German beer (300 mL, although I believe I could have gotten the 500 mL or even the liter, just like in Germany ;) ) and a lunch of sausage and french fries. We walked around the town a bit, popping into some stores and having hot chocolate and coffee at a cute little chocolate shop. It was quite a nice day in a cute town.
