The didgeridoo

This morning we went to Scoozi's for breakfast together with Karin and Gavin.

Nicole and Marisa.

After breakfast we walked the Rundle Market.

One of the old houses of Rundle Street.

Nicole and Marisa checking out wheat bags.

An Adelaide phone booth.

On the way back to the car I had a quick pit stop at the Best poffertjes stand of Adelaide.

Beautiful Adelaide architecture while walking in to the parking garage.

We drove in to the Adelaide hills next.

Can't go in to the hills without visiting Chocolate @ No 5. This is the tree in front.

Marisa and Nicole ordering inside.

Driving further towards Adelaide again we stopped to admire the view.

Winding roads down the hills.

Watch out for Echidnas.

In Hahndorf I bought a didgeridoo. It's created and painted by aboriginal people in the North of Australia in a traditional way which is hollowed out by termites, cut, and finished.

I am now practising circular breathing and I've already made a bit of progress. Maybe I can join the session in Mulligans with it when I come over ;-)

In the evening we took Marisa to Cafe de Vili's for some quality Adelaide fine dining.

wat leuk de didgeridoo, krijg je er wel geluid uit, dat is nog niet zo gemakkelijk.

@ Craig: You don't actually need that much pressure to create the sound. Once you get the breathing OK you can just keep going.

@ Ma: Ja, ik krijg er al iets uit wat lijkt op didg geluid! Maar er valt nog heel wat te oefenen :-)
