Grab A Drink For My Longest Post Ever (but it has lots of pics)

Gary, Eilish and Connor are taking Rox and Chris to the airport. There was not enough room in the car so I thought I would do a little pictorial of their stay with us. For those of you who have visited us before, you may recognise some of the places. And for those of you yet to visit, feast your eyes, heh heh.
Most of these pics are compliments of Chris's camera as he was a happy snapper and made a great job of it to.
We toured German villages and drank German beers, viewed Adelaide from on high, tasted wines and consumed gourmet delights in McLaren Vale, rode the waves in Port Elliot, walked the jetty in Glenelg, raced the horse drawn cart in Victor Harbour and meandered through North Adelaide.
So lets begin our whistle stop tour of Adelaide.
All Aboard!
First stop- North Adelaide Cathedral
Not far from where we live

The river Torrens, with Elder Park to the left.

View of Adelaide from the top of Mt Lofty (excuse the haze)

The main street of the German village 'Hahndorf'
Eilish, Rox and Connor
Using Connor's head as a comparison
(Rox and Chris's purchases from Hahndorf x2)

Rox and Chris drinking said purchases before playing us at Risk

(the beer must have helped cause Rox finally won a game, hee hee)

The entrance to Hugh Hamilton Winery

That's all for now. Hopefully I will be back next time with something I have actually scrapped.
