The last Hahndorf visit

We drove to Hahndorf today, through the Adelaide Hills.

This store sells moving Christmas stuff. I like these things. I can see myself making something like this myself some day when I'm retired maybe ;-)

Fishing for Dutch tourists...

This didgeridoo costs $1200. It's absolutely stunning and it has a fantastic sound. It is for sale in Ancient Earth, an indigenous art shop in Hahndorf where I like to go. I bought some glass art today and some clap sticks for someone to play together when I play the didgeridoo.

And then I saw this. The Triumph Rocket III. In it's natural, wild habitat. I L O V E this bike.

We had coffee at Chocolate @ No. 5 twice today but only once did I have the waffle.

Inside Chocolate @ No. 5.

We drove home through the hills as well. Windy roads ahead.

Overlooking Adelaide.

In the evening we went to Vili's for one last time.

They changed the whole inside! The bar is longer.

And the seating area is much bigger with all new tables and chairs. Very comfy chairs too!

The farewell lunch (Star Trek High Five!).

Do I look tired? That's because I was fucking tired. And I wanted kwoffee.

Touch down.

We went to the airport at 06:45 to pick up Nicole's parents who were coming back from vacation. This is their Air Malaysia flight touching down. The landing looked very gracious.

Wog fest 2009. Naturally, because I wanted to make a photo of them arriving, some unknown force in the bloody universe decided to plant 3 families in my line of sight.

The in-laws. Tony and Vicky.

This is my international drivers license with which I can drive a car anywhere in the world for a year. I dunno, it could also be a WWII pass of some sort...

Today we had our farewell lunch at Uleybury. Here we see Greg, Gianna and Nicole.

Stephen, Anna and Greg.

Karin and Stephen.

A particularly good photo (if not the nicest ever!) of natalie and Luke (who actually drove two hours to be there!). Thanks so much for coming guys!

STAR TREK HIGH FIVE!

A bit of after chit chat in the parking lot.

We drove home the scenic way, through the Adelaide hills. Everything was still very green. Pretty soon it will be dry and brown again.

We past a hot rod with a dog in it.

While going home we decided to hit the beach. We went to Largs.

Larg's jetty.

Largs beach.

People fishing at the top of the jetty.

A seagull on a pole.

Do I still look tired? That's because I still was bloody tired.

Me! me! me! ME! mE! ME! me! ME!

California

Our mall's parking has specially reserved spots for pram-pushers.

It also has the ugliest logo EVER.

One minute to nine in front of the post office...

Breakfast at Scoozi's. There was a LOT of noise coming from across the street.

Dead fish in the grass.

Saw the new Ferrari "California" in Rundle Street.

Later I was filling up my own shopping Ferrari in the supermarket...

At some stage people just flocked around me for some reason.

Grass is fixed.

I watched a very funny Star Trek episode.

Mason is with us today and the weekend.

It's very hard posing for the camera.

I seem to have forgotten a certain grass straw yesterday.

It's all good now.

Ready to rock and roll in one of Adelaide's fancier restaurants.

We went to the Red Ochre Restaurant. It was fantastic. There was beetroot carpaccio, kangaroo, salad, grilled barramundi, freshly baked bread and also a chocolate fondant. It was all sensational.

Mason was happy to see us again...

Lawn art.

Part of yesterdays work. I continued the front today.

My arty-farty impression of my work.

I threw the pigeons some seed.

I played some world of Warcraft too.

I threw myself a beer in the evening.
