Adelaide, Australia

I had the pleasure of doing a 2 day trip to Adelaide, Australia in November 2012. I was especially excited since I would get to hang out with my ex-batchmate as well. Visions of vineyards danced in my head and I certainly wasn't disappointed!

 First stop on our journey - The Rocking Horse

Lol. We just did a drive by. No point getting out to walk up that!
 
 
Second stop - The Whispering Wall. So 1 person stands on one side of the wall & the second person walks all the way to the end of the wall. You can "whisper" or talk to each other and the sound of your voice carries all the way to the other end. Was pretty cool considering its quite a distance from one side to the other!



 
 
Third stop - The wineries

 
 
We had started our drive early so were both starving. Stopped off at a German restaurant/bar for some lunch. Nothing like schnitzel & some beer to keep you going!


 
 
Stunning views!




 
 
So for dinner Blake treated me to an absolutely delicious meal at an Argentinian steakhouse.  Looking at this pic still makes my mouth water. The chimmichurri sauce, those seasoned potatoes & Malbec wine paired with that.....Yummy!



 
 
As it was November, the city was already decorated for the upcoming Christmas festivities. We drove up to this display by the water. So cute!




The Malls balls ;)

 
Overall a great trip to Adelaide. Looking forward to visiting the vineyards on another trip. Was absolutely breathtaking in the Barossa Valley...and the wines not too shabby either ;)
