Whilst walking to the Botanical Gardens here in Adelaide yesterday, we stumbled accross a street market and a stool offering free mountain bike hire for two hours. It’s an incentive offered by the Adelaide City Council to encourage people to use alternative transport and improve good health, result we thought! We got round the park in super quick time so took a ride down by the river where we had walked the day before. On the way back to the hostel, we found a nice cheap shop and so bought some items we’re going to need for our van.
Today we went on an arranged trip to the Barrossa Valley which is Australia’s most famous wine region. We visited four vineyards altogether and tried some really lovely wines and ports and purchased two bottles of wine to enjoy in our camper-van when we get it. Andy & Linda – we wished you could have been there! The package also included a three course lunch at a local restaurant which was very nice and helped soak up the wine.
Nothing else to report, hope you’ve seen the new pictures…

Back in France at last and able to catch up on your blog.
Really pleased that you’re having such a good time, and I’ll bet we won’t be the only members of the Old Skool Massive who are going green with envy!
Caravanners get bad press, but you’ve proved again that they’re a more sociable bunch. Suppose Thetford seems a long way away!
