NARIOOTPA IS HOME FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS

Day 95 - Nuriootpa (Barossa Valley)
After another late end to the night, I could have slept in forever. I eventually woke up about 9am, and everyone else was awake; Daniel had been at work for 2 hours! We had some brekkie, showered and left the house at 10:15 to make our 10:30 ...

Our time here has been great. The weather has been perfect and we wine tasted until we were sick of it. It's certainly a beautiful part of the country. Today we move on to a coastal area of Adelaide. I am also going to see an old ...

Patiently Waiting (without the patience)

The Barossa Valley - We love it!

Anxiety are you there?...oh yes there you are...
So I know it has been absolutely forever since I updated this blog and I could sit here and write excuses and make you all read them (which I just know would be absolutely riveting) or I can just say sorry and get on with the next gig...so I am truly ...

Adelaide and the Barossa
Took the bus into Adelaide town centre, the express only took 35 minutes almost as quick as driving in. The centre of Adelaide is very different to other Australian cities in feel and, in some parts, look. Though there has been a creeping of the modern ...
