Visit

My parents, grandma and aunt were here in July. Beside the frequent visits to the Casino (definitely their favourite in Adelaide!!) and Chinatown, we did squeeze in a few visits to the many many vineyards in Adelaide. Nothing much to boast about in Adelaide, but the cooling weather (if not cold) and the delicious seafood/ food did have some impacts. They actually missed Adelaide - a little.

Barossa Valley. It took us quite sometimes to find our way into the wineries region. Thanks to Google Directions, we took so much 冤枉路, twirling and swirling through the hilly region. So much so that I almost car-sicked. Luckily the view along the way was breathtaking. But nevertheless, we still reached the place safe and sound, although it's already late afternoon when we gotten there. Thanks Masa for his assistance in finding our way. I'm still upset though that I didnt get to taste any wine from Penfolds.

Hahndorf. Hahndorf is just a short distance away from the city center (40mins car ride?). It's basically just a German town which is one of the few tourist attraction near Adelaide. Nothing much to do there, beside the German cuisine and maybe their bakery. Everyone of us LOVES their apple pie. Too bad their apricot pie was sold out!

McLaren Vale. Another vineyard in SA, Mclaren Vale is the home to fantastic wine, food and hospitality and the gateway to the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula. McLaren Vale was actually a stop before we head on to Victor Harbour, but as my dear parents woke up late, the plan was scrapped and we end up spending our day in McLaren Vale. I didnt regret going there though as I really love the place. And I will be back!

You can never guessed that this is actually part of their visitor center

"Chapel Hill" Vineyard. Nice view with a nice nice cottage in the middle. I wanna go stay one of these days.

It was definitely nice to have my parents here. Beside, my dad drives so he can drive us around. Muhaha. And so, this sums up their 7 days trip to Adelaide. :D
