Scones are not breakfast!!

Guess where we started our day... Rivers, Croydon. Brian needed a few things lol. I was starving as we hadn't had breakfast by 11 am. After Rivers we drove to Mt Lofty. It's 15km from Adelaide and is 710 metres above sea level. There is a cafe at the lookout but by the time we arrived around 1140 am breakfast was off the menu so I had to settle for scones with jam and cream. As nice as they were it wasn't really breakfast :(( Brian had a muffin. Then we took a walk around the lookout . The view was spectacular and looking over Adelaide you realised how small the CBD is. Took some photo memories then headed to our next stop of Hahndorf.
Hahndorf is about a further 10 mins drive from Mt Lofty. It's an old German settlement which has retained the German culture in it's cafes and entertainment. Had a photshoot with a musician lol. As we strolled along we found a lolly shop with lots of the old style lollies from childhood like umbrellas, rosy apples and choo choo bars. We bought a few things then continued walking along the street. Found a German bakery cafe and we felt compelled (ha ha ) to have some delights. Experienced the German fare, Brian had a meatloaf dish and I had a kransky in pastry served with salad including red cabbage. Convinced Brian to give it a try but he wasn't so impressed and washed it down with his DB beer. ( some German beer that tasted as bad as all other beers...well that's my opinion haha).
Our next destination was Victor Harbor and yes!!! 'harbor' has no 'u' in it. Apparently , according to the local information "It can be surmised from the above spelling of all South Australian Harbour's without the 'u' that it originated probably from a spelling error made by an early Surveyor General of South Australia." thank goodness for modern spell check I think hahaha!! There is a long 630 metre causeway from the harbour to a small island called Granite Island. The island has a walk of about 1&1/2 km around the island. I allowed Brian the experience of this. It had lots of steps and hills neither of which excite me. Walked the causeway and back though , which was an amazing feat for me lol. Had to walk because unlucky for me, the horse and cart ride that you can catch has been stopped for a little while due to foreshore works. I have walked further on this holiday than I have in the rest of my life haha. On the walk back from the island we saw a seal swimming....Well more like it was snoozing, cause it was bobbing in mostly one spot and every now and then used its flipper to move and would lift it's head to breath occasionally.
Finished our day there around 6 pm. On the drive back we did a quick stop to get up close and personal with an echidna that had crossed our path - literally :) Took a few photos and added it to the long list of Australian animals and birds we have encountered on this trip , excluding the ones at the zoo of course haha! Heard the footy ( funnily that word is auto spelled to 'GOOFY' with my iPad - something in that for all of us haha) results from Tim. I was hoping Warriors would win so enough said:))
Had Thai food for dinner but it was no match for Thai Thyme at Erina. We plan on an early night tonight cause tomorrow we are off for a day on Kangaroo Island . We need to leave the hotel by 6 30 am so that should be interesting I'm sure lol.
Love Kerry-Anne and BRIAN xxx
