The Summertown visit

Today we drove up into the hills to do a first check upon a little town where we might want to live.

We drove a bit of a scenic route to get there...

... so it took a bit longer.

Driving through the hills can be beautiful.

And finally we arrived in... Summertown. More specific, we ended up at Aunty Bets' where we had a very nice lunch. I explained them that Bets is a Dutch name but they didn't know if anything Dutch had been going on at this place before.

View of the main street. On the left is the gas station/supermarket/post office/video store/news agent. It's a very cute little town and their tennis club is looking for members!!! It must be destiny!

On the way home we stopped and the Mount Lofty look out point.

You have a sensational view over Adelaide from there and you can even see the Yorke peninsula at the horizon.

A last view the other way, into the hills where we'd like to settle down somewhere.

ma: Dat heb ik tegen de nieuwe eigenaar gezegd maar die had geen idee waar de naam vandaan kwam. Er moet een Nederlander in hebben gezeten eerst...

nice place to settle, can you ride your bike without collapsing a lung?
